I'm currently riding an aluminum hardtail. I'm looking into upgrading my frame when I can afford it. I have a few questions if you guys don't mind giving your opinions.
I'm getting more into riding and racing longer format events. 6 hour, 12 hour, 24 hour races and longer rides. Maybe even try a couple 60+ mile events.
My aluminum hardtail is a little harsh on my body with longer events.
I'm really a hardtail kind of guy. So, I'm pretty much set on a hardtail but some of the soft tails I have been looking at may be an option.
I love the characteristics of a hardtail. Climbing, handling, acceleration, etc. I've ridden full suspensions and I just can't get used to their active rear travel.
So, what do you guys think? What do you ride? Would a steel or titanium hardtail work for endurance racing? Would a soft tail be a better choice?
Thanks for your feedback.
