hardtail or full suspenssion bike?

Question
hi
ive one basic difficulty should i buy a hardtail or a full suspenssion bike? i want a bicycle for going daily to office which is half an hour away from my home, im from india so indian road conditions are not very good so im thinking to get a full suspenssion.
but one vendor told me that a full sus. will consume more energy than hardtail so he suggested me a hardtail bike. is it true?

Answer
Hi there,

Yes it's true. A Full suspention weighs more so in turn you will expend more energy.

I ride 16.2 km each way to work and I ride a hard tail. What I would recomend to you is to get some good tires to help you cope with the bad roads but honestly no need for a full sus unless you plan on doing major off roading with it and jumps and stuff like that.

Hope this helps you choose the right bike : )

~Happy riding!!
