Schwinn Moab 3

SCHWINN MOAB 3

If any of these hard-tails were set up for going downhill, it's the Moab 3. The bike's geometry is identical to its higher-end brethren-the Homegrown line-while the handling is mellow. The frame is built with Epicenter (read: bent) seat stays for added braking power and a vertically ovalized down tube for strength and stiffness, and the lax geometry gives it stability at high speeds. On the other hand, it can tend toward laziness when dicing through tight, twisty singletrack. Suspended with a RockShox Judy XC, adjustable from 63 to 100 millimeters of travel, you can dial the fork to accommodate terrain and rider style. Overall, the bike lends itself well to all-mountain riding. its heart, however, is on the cross-country course. Schwinn: 800/ SCHWINN. $719.
