Neither a full suspension or a hardtail is better than the other, because each is well-suited for certain terrain and riding styles. Dual suspension bikes are more comfortable on rugged terrain and offer a smoother ride. They are good for going off jumps and riding downhill. Full suspension bikes are usually heavier than hardtails and waste more energy when pedaling because any suspension absorbs the riders pedal force as well as bumps. Hardtails require less maintenance than dual suspension bikes. They tend to be cheaper so you can get better components for the money. Hardtails are significantly lighter than dual suspensions. They maneuver and accelerate well and are great for climbing up hills. Hardtails are responsive and handle well. So, if your trail is not severely rugged, you will get better pedal performance from a hardtail, conserving more energy. If the trail is rugged, or if you suffer from discomfort, injury or saddle soreness, a dual suspension may be the better choice.
