Trial's (And Bunnyhops) W/shocks


Haans

Recommended Posts

Well, at the moment the bike with which I'm attempting to learn trials on is a mountain bike (Cannondale, full suspension, 26"). As far as trial's (more street trials), I was just wondering what the effect of having shocks would be in general? For one I can't seem to bunnyhop terribly high, do you think the shocks would make bunnyhops harder or easier? Grrr I can't really tell what I'm doing wrong!!

They'll make life a lot harder, not only due to the weight of the bike but the shocks will absorb your momentum when your trying to jump.

There used to be a few riders years ago that had front sus, but front and back will make your life harder.

That's not to say it's impossible though.
