Can I do stunts on mountain bikes?
 

Can I do stunts on Mountain Bikes or will that damage any part of it. I want to do stunts like a bunny hop, wheelie, stoppie, 180 etc, so would it damage my mountain bike or should I get a BMX?
Do these sort of stunts damage my suspension, brake pads, wheels or tires?

Thank you!

Depends on what kind and what quality MTB you’re thinking of.
Department-store bikes that mimic as MTBs may fail at anything more stressing than a wheelie. A DH bike will probably survive any trick you’re capable of. Enduro/trail bikes are almost as strong.

You can break anything if you try hard enough. Everything you listed is part of a normal trail ride.

A decent mountain bike will not have an issue with those. Keep in mind there is a big difference between mountain bikes and BMX bikes. If all you want to do are “stunts” then think about a BMX bike. You can get something a lot more sturdy for less money. The trade off is you can’t really ride a lot of trails or go long distances on one.

Sounds like you might be interested in these bikes.....
