The designs for mountain bikes can be classified into three categories based on suspension:
1. Hardtail – A frame with no rear suspension, often containing a front suspension fork.
2. Completely rigid – This is a subtype of the rigid, with a rigid fork.
3. Dual or full suspension – These bikes offer a front suspension fork and a rear suspension that are integrated into the frame.
4. Soft tail – Offers a frame with a small amount of rear suspension, normally less than a full
suspension framework.
