The average DH bike has arounf 7-8 inches of travel. Depending on what kind of bike you get some could have up to 10 inches or you could get 6 inches for a more freeride/slopstyle bike.

What is the difference between all mountain and cross country mountain bikes?

An AM bike is basically a cross between a XC and a DH MTB. Usually full suspension and long enough travel to take some fairly serious drops and jumps, but still light enough and with a gear ratio and a ride position that'll make it somewhat useful on the flat and during climbs. An AM bike is the best bike if you want to ride to the top, and do a decent descent. An XC bike will climb far better, but would suffer on the way down. The DH bike would be a pain to climb with, but be the best for the run down.

How do you choose a mountain cycle?

# how much money are you willing to spend # what kind of riding do you intend to do(DH, AM, XC, dirt) # what size bike do you need If you're uncertain, start off with a used bike. You'll lose less money that if you decide to switch to a bike more suited for another discipline later.
