There are more aggressive hardtail mountain bikes on the market today than ever before; and for good reason! Nothing else can match the capability, fun, and value of a well built hardtail! A few months ago we made a video looking at our favorite hardcore hardtails in 2023, and many of you let us know in the comments the bikes you thought should have been included. So this time around we not only included the bikes you asked us to, but ranked them in the order of what we would be most likely to by in 2023!
