You can take the front suspension up to the top of hills, even if you are just cruising on the trails.
Cannondale uses proportional response technology
Cannondale's Habit mountain bike features proportional response technology. The rear suspension is located at the rider’s center of gravity. This feature delivers consistent response for riders of any size, particularly small and medium riders. Its low, wide bottom bracket provides a stable ride for descents. The bike can also be easily handled on many terrains. The offset rear increases stiffness and efficiency, while the chainstay length is proportional to the frame size.
Cannondale Rustler SLX
Cannondale's Rustler SRX is a well-built, durable trail bike. This bike can handle any trail with its 130mm rear suspension travel and 150mm fork. Its 6066-T6 aluminum frame has 425 mm chainstays and 27.5-inch wheels. Split Pivot(r), a suspension system that improves pedaling efficiency, is also included. Rustler’s Shimano SLX Shimano drivetrain and large range of gears make this a great day-to-day trail bicycle.
Rangefinder
Rei carries Salsa Rangefinder mountain bikes including the Advent X 29 hardtail bike. The hardtail trail bike is stable enough to use on technical trails. The 120 mm suspension fork provides control on steep terrain. 29" wheels also help you maintain momentum as you navigate rough terrain. These key features will make your next mountain biking adventure even more enjoyable if you are looking for a hardtail.
GHOST
REI has the perfect bike for you, whether you are looking for an intermediate or beginner bike. Founded in 1993 by two college friends, Ghost bikes have been a hit in Seattle and around the world. Ghost bikes began in a garage that sold bicycles to friends and college classmates. The company's initial production of bikes was quite cheap and proved to be popular. As the company grew, they started their own aluminum and carbon businesses and began making frames in-house. The company's high quality frames raised its prices.

How To
How do I begin base jumping?
Base jumping (also known as free-fall parachuting) is a sport where participants jump from fixed objects (usually cliffs), such as bridges, towers, buildings, etc., without any equipment attached to them. To land safely, the participant must jump off the object. It's similar to skydiving but you don’t have to wear a parachute or hold your breath as you wait to open it.
A wingsuit is the most common type base jumper. A wingsuit has two pieces of fabric, which are sewn together. One piece covers your chest and arms while the other covers your legs. The jumper wears special boots that allow him/her to stand upright during flight. The jumper pulls the ankle straps tighter during descent. This causes the fabric covering his/her legs to bunch up under his/her body, creating an air pocket. Once the air pocket has grown large enough, the jumper will open his/her parachut and land safely.
Base jumpers may use powered suits to propel themselves faster through the air. A backpack containing batteries and an under-cloth jet pack are the two main components of powered suits. These small rockets fire small jets of hot-gas at high speeds. This creates thrust that propels the leaper forward. These suits are loud and heavy, however.
Some people who want to try out BASE jumping don't know what they're getting into. It is important to understand the risks involved in BASE jumping before you attempt to learn. There are many ways that you can die from this activity, including falling off a rock, colliding with another person, or hitting an obstacle head on or upside down. Even though BASE jumping is not always dangerous, it can be very dangerous when done incorrectly. Be sure to follow the safety tips below before you attempt to BASE Jump.
First, practice safe BASE jumping techniques by practicing on a smaller hill. You should always take a few minutes to get comfortable with the terrain before jumping off a larger one. Pay attention to weather conditions. Make sure the wind doesn't blow in your face when you jump. Also, be careful of foggy skies; if you can see more than 10ft ahead of yourself, you might need to wait until the clouds clear. Make sure you have the proper gear. A helmet, goggles, gloves and a full-suit with a harness are all essential. Fourth, have a plan. Before leaving the ground, ask someone to follow you if something goes wrong. Never, ever jump alone. Always have someone to watch over you.
