Trail bikes are the all-rounders of mountain biking, and for most riders they are the right answer. Typically 130–150mm of travel, geometry that climbs as well as it descends, and enough capability to keep up on a rowdy descent without feeling like hard work on the way back up. If you ride a mix of everything and only want one bike, start here.

Our trail range spans Merida, Mondraker, Orbea, Marin, Santa Cruz, Yeti, Kona, Nukeproof, Ibis, Norco and Evil, and includes electric trail bikes and framesets alongside the complete builds. You can narrow things down by full suspension or hardtail if you already know which you want. If you don't, tell us where you ride and we'll help you choose — and finance is available across the range.
