All mountain bike guide: what to know before you buy

More reserves than a trail bike, more touring ability than an enduro: in this guide you will learn what makes an all mountain bike, how it differs from trail and enduro bikes and which model suits you.

What is an all mountain bike?

An all mountain bike is a full suspension mountain bike with 140 to 150 mm of rear travel. It is built to climb the mountain under your own power and to handle steep, rocky sections safely on the way down.

Its geometry is a little slacker and longer than a trail bike, which keeps it calm at speed. A steep seat angle and a dropper post still make it a real touring bike. That makes it the ideal companion for Alpine tours, low mountain ranges and anyone who likes a few more reserves on the descent.

All mountain, trail or enduro?

The lines are blurred. In our shop, rear travel is the guide:

Trail bike
120–130 mm
  • Light and playful
  • For local loops and long tours
  • Fewer reserves downhill
See trail bikes →
All mountain
140–150 mm
  • Strong uphill and downhill
  • For Alpine tours and technical trails
  • The middle ground with reserves
Enduro bike
155–170 mm
  • Built for descents
  • For bike parks and enduro races
  • A little slower uphill

Tip: use the Front travel and Rear travel filters above the model list to narrow down the selection.

What to look for when buying

Travel and suspension

140 mm at the rear is enough for most Alpine tours. You adjust air suspension to your weight via the air pressure, adjustable compression and rebound help with fine tuning. The fork often has 10 mm more travel than the rear.

29" or mullet

29" rolls smoothly over obstacles and offers plenty of grip. A mullet bike has a 27.5" rear wheel. That makes the bike more agile and gives you more room behind the saddle on steep sections.

Brakes and dropper post

On long descents, powerful four-piston brakes with large rotors count. A dropper post is standard on all mountain bikes and gives you freedom of movement downhill.

The right frame size

Size determines comfort and control. On every product page you will find the manufacturer's size recommendation below the description. If you are between two sizes, just get in touch.

Frequently asked questions about all mountain bikes

What is the difference between an all mountain and a trail bike?

A trail bike usually has 120 to 130 mm of rear travel and is a little lighter and more playful. With 140 to 150 mm, an all mountain bike offers more reserves and more composure on technical descents.

What is the difference between an all mountain and an enduro bike?

An enduro bike with 155 to 170 mm is clearly built for fast, rough descents. An all mountain bike climbs more efficiently and is the better choice if you ride a lot of climbing under your own power.

What does mullet mean?

A mullet setup runs a 29" wheel up front and a 27.5" wheel at the rear. It combines the stability of the big front wheel with an agile rear end, as on the Haro Daley.

Is an all mountain bike suitable for an Alpine crossing?

Yes, that is what it is made for. It climbs reliably, offers plenty of reserves downhill and stays comfortable even after several days in the saddle.

Which frame size do I need?

That depends on your height and inside leg. You will find the manufacturer's size recommendation on every product page below the description. If you are between two sizes, our team will be happy to advise you.

Can I lease an all mountain bike?

Yes, you can lease your all mountain bike as a company bike through your employer. You will find all the details under bike leasing.
