Choose the Hardtail if
- You weigh more than 225 lbs with gear, since the FS has the lower limit.
- You want the lowest price and fewer moving parts to service.
- You ride mostly pavement, bike paths and smooth dirt.
Choose the Full Suspension if
- You ride washboard, gravel or rutted desert roads where a rear shock takes the edge off.
- Comfort over long rides matters more than the extra money.
- You are under the weight limit and want the smoothest ride the Scrambler offers.
Good to know: reviewers measured about 43 miles of throttle-only range on the FS. Juiced also offers a dual-battery hardtail for longer rides, so ask us about availability.
