Hi,

I am a novice when it comes to bikes.

I was considering purchasing this bike (my budget is not huge):

ST 540 S Bike from Decathlon in the UK (£499.99).

But I am unsure if I should get this full suspension model or a hardtail.

Most of my riding will be on pathways (70% of the time). I may also go for some rides in the forest (30% of the time).

Any thoughts on best bike suited to my needs? Is it a mountain bike or something else perhaps? If mountain, full suspension or hardtail?

Thanks for any advice.
