Ryden Full Suspension Series Trail Mountain Bike

A full-suspension mountain bike has both a front suspension fork and a rear shock. This improves traction, rider comfort, control, and confidence on rough terrain compared with a hardtail, which has front suspension only.

The Full Suspension Series adds a rear suspension system (140mm of rear travel) that increases comfort, traction, and stability on technical terrain, where the Hardtail Series has front suspension only. The Hardtail Series, in turn, is lighter, simpler to maintain, more efficient pedalling, and less expensive ($1,699 vs $2,999). Choose the Hardtail Series for simplicity, efficiency, and value; choose the Full Suspension Series for added comfort, traction, and control on rougher trails.

Both are do-it-all full-suspension trail bikes with Shimano XT drivetrains and FOX suspension, but the All Mountain is the premium step up: a carbon frame (vs aluminium), slightly more travel (150/145mm vs 140/140mm), a burlier FOX 36 fork (vs FOX 34), four-piston brakes front and rear (vs four-piston front, two-piston rear), a longer 170mm dropper (vs 150mm), and a lighter overall weight (13.2 kg vs 13.8 kg). Choose the Full Suspension Series for full-suspension capability at an accessible price ($2,999); choose the All Mountain for the premium carbon version ($3,699).

It performs exceptionally well on forest trails, rocky singletrack, mountain routes, trail centres, and moderate technical descents. For aggressive descending, bike parks, or enduro racing, our All Mountain (more travel) or Enduro X (long-travel enduro) would be more capable.

There is 140mm of front travel (FOX 34 Performance fork) and 140mm of rear travel (four-bar linkage with a FOX Float Performance shock), an ideal balance for modern trail riding while maintaining efficient climbing.

Yes. The wheelset and tyres are supplied tubeless-ready for improved grip, fewer punctures, and lower tyre pressures.

Yes. A 150mm internally routed dropper post is included as standard equipment, no need to buy one separately. It lets you drop the saddle for descents and raise it for climbs at the push of a lever.

The bike arrives approximately 90% assembled with the dropper post fitted. Final installation of the handlebars, front wheel, and pedals, plus suspension setup (setting fork and shock pressures to your weight), is required. We recommend setting suspension sag carefully, or having a shop help, to get the most from the bike.

Lifetime warranty on the aluminium frame, 5-year warranty on the suspension linkage, 2-year warranty on suspension components (fork and rear shock), and 2-year warranty on drivetrain and brakes. The fork and shock need periodic servicing per the manufacturers’ schedules to keep their warranty valid. Full terms in our Warranty Policy.

It is the ideal choice for riders who want one mountain bike that performs across a broad range of terrain. Its full-suspension platform, Shimano XT drivetrain, hydraulic disc brakes, dropper post, and progressive trail geometry deliver excellent climbing efficiency, confident descending, and all-day comfort, bridging the gap between entry-level trail bikes and aggressive enduro machines at an accessible price.
