In recent years, cycling has experienced a great boom, mainly due to the dynamic development of electric bikes. These modern e-bikes allow cyclists to enjoy riding even on more challenging trails, with the motor drive helping their riders overcome obstacles and long distances. When deciding to buy an e-bike, one of the key factors is choosing between a full-suspension e-bike and a fixed-frame e-bike . Each of the aforementioned types has specific features, advantages and disadvantages that you should consider based on your preferences, riding style and most importantly, the expectations you have for your e-bike travel experience.

Experienced cycling enthusiast Mára has tested two variants of the best possible equipment in the category with the same powertrain and brings you the individual advantages of both the Full and Hardtail versions.

Factors influencing the choice of an e-bike

The choice between a full-suspension e-bike and a fixed-frame e-bike depends on several factors that you should consider.

If you plan to ride in challenging off-road environments such as mountain trails and technical descents, an all-suspension e-bike is a better choice. If forest trails are your goal, or you want an efficient road bike, a fixed frame will be the right choice.

An all-suspension e-bike offers much more comfort, but is more expensive to run due to the need for more frequent servicing and its purchase price is usually higher. The reward, however, is sheer comfort, wherever you decide to go or are surprised by a change in terrain on the road. A fixed frame e-bike is usually lighter and more efficient on flat roads and has a lower purchase price. With a fixed frame, you'll enjoy your trip on bike paths and forest trails.

The purchase price of a full-suspension e-bike tends to be more expensive than for fixed-frame models, so for a limited budget a fixed frame may be a better option, but all attributes need to be considered.

FULL SUSPENSION ELECTRIC BICYCLES

"TWICE THE COMFORT = TWICE THE FUN"

The all-suspension e-bike features suspension not only on the front fork but also on the rear of the frame. This system ensures high comfort when riding on rough or technical terrain. The all-suspension e-bike is an ideal option for enduro, downhill or trail cyclists where maximum control and comfort are important. The front and rear suspension absorbs shock, ensuring stability on fast descents or when riding on rocky or rooty trails.

But at the same time, you'll enjoy riding on any terrain and on the bike path. The main thing is that nothing will surprise you on the road and you will enjoy maximum comfort.

Mára from Bikestock tested the CRUSSIS e-Full 10.10-PRO for you

The CRUSSIS e-Full 10.10-PRO all-suspension mountain e-bike was designed for more demanding terrain. It features a powerful centre PANASONIC GX Ultimate motor with 95Nm of torque, giving you the power to tackle any hill and terrain.

The full-suspension frame provides support even when climbing really steep slopes. This is because it increases rear wheel contact with the surface.

These features make it the ideal choice for cyclists who want to make the most of off-road riding.

ELECTRIC BICYCLES WITH FIXED FRAME

EFFICIENCY AND LIGHTNESS

Hardtail e-bikes have suspension only on the front fork, while the rear of the frame is fixed. This type of bike is suitable for cross-country, forest trails and recreational cycling. The front suspension absorbs basic shock, which helps provide better comfort on gentler terrain, but compared to full-suspension bikes, the overall handling tends to be a bit more direct and effective on flatter trails. Fixed frame bikes also tend to be slightly lighter, which is an advantage for cyclists looking for better performance and efficiency on tarmac or less challenging terrain.

Mára from Bikestock tested the CRUSSIS e-Hard 10.10-PRO for you

The CRUSSIS e-Hard 10.10-PRO is an example of a quality fixed-frame e-bike that eliminates the need to service a re-tie. The benefit of a rigid frame can be a significantly greater choice of accessories in the form of mudguards or racks thanks to the mounting preparation.

The bike is also equipped with an LG Li-Ion 36V / 720 Wh (20 Ah) battery with up to 170 km of range and a PANASONIC GX Ultimate motor that offers solid support on various types of surfaces. This model is an ideal choice for cyclists who plan on forest trail rides, but also want efficiency on the road.
