These bikes are built to easily conquer rugged trails, offering front and rear suspension for better control and comfort. Whether tackling rocky descents or long off-road adventures, a used full-suspension mountain bike (MTB) provides traction and stability at a more affordable price. 

Depending on the sort of riding you are planning you can choose from Cross-country (XC), Enduro, Downhill, or Freeride models each configured with different frame design, suspension travel and often available in traditional or electric options.

Full suspension mountain bikes tend to be the top of the mountain bike range and whilst they can be fast and forgiving the can also have complicated frame designs, pivots and shocks.

Some top tips to consider in buying your next ride:

- Check for frame damage: Inspect or ask about frame repairs, existing cracks, dents, or excessive wear around pivot points.

- Suspension performance: Ensure shocks hold pressure and adjust smoothly.

- Drivetrain wear: Look for chain stretch and worn cassette teeth.

- Pivot and linkage health: is there excessive play or creaks in the suspension?
