Mountain Bikes

Noticed that mountain bikes aren’t as simple as they used to be? Well, so have we! No need to worry, even if you are new to cycling or returning after a break - Camberley Cycles staff will be happy to help narrow down your choices. Simply tell us where you want to ride, how you like to ride and what budget you have in mind and we will point you in the right direction! Below is a very brief explanation of different categories of mountain bikes.

Please note it is only a rough, light hearted guide and remember nothing beats popping into the shop to chat to us in person about your specific needs!

Entry Level Bikes
An entry level mountain bike is very simple, with little or no suspension and 18 to 21 gears. This kind of bike is for the kind of person who will only ride leisurely rides at weekends, chase the kids/dogs round the park or simply use as a workhorse to get to work or leave at a station. Our low prices start from £99.99 for men’s and ladies frames.

Cross Country Bikes
Like to just get out for a ride, do lots of miles and don’t go crazy doing jumps and drops? You need a Camberley Cycles cross country, or XC bike. Made to be as light as possible, short travel suspension (around 75 to 100mm) and 21 to 27 gears. These bikes will also allow you to cycle to work without too much discomfort. Entry level aluminium framed models from around £150, topping out at over £2,000 for seriously high performance machines, and lots to choose from in between!

Trail Bike/Hardcore XC Bikes
Do you like the thought of an XC bike but worried you might be too heavy handed? Like to do lots of miles but not afraid of going for it on the descents? The new breed of trail bike, or sometimes called Hardcore XC bike, might do the job. A bit heavier than normal XC bikes, stronger frames and wheels and more suspension travel (around 130 to 140mm), these do-it-all machines are becoming more and more popular for the kind of rider who doesn’t want to feel restricted by their bike. Camberley Cycles low prices range from around £300 upwards.

Jump Style Bikes
OK, first of all, these bikes ARE NOT INDESTRUCTABLE! Just because they are aimed at this end of the market doesn’t mean you can jump them all day long without servicing them and checking things aren’t coming loose after a day of landing 4 foot high drops! They are built to withstand a lot more punishment than normal MTBs, smaller to allow for better control and have fat tyres for improved grip and cushioning. The kind of bike for the braver rider who likes nothing better than to ride dirt jumps all day long, and for those that have a habit of breaking things! Camberley Cycles low prices start from around £300.

Downhill/Freeride Bikes
Right, despite what some shops will try and tell you, there is no such thing as a cheap downhill or freeride bike! Cheap imitations may have all the right stickers but when the going gets tough, it will only end in tears! These are made for one thing - going big, very big! Ride these monsters at your own risk as they encourage the inner hooligan in all of us to emerge! People buying these bikes need a strong, reliable and almost bullet-proof cycle with huge disk brakes and lots of suspension. Expect to pay £1,099 to around £3,500 at Camberley Cycles.
