Updated geometry on a quality lightweight aluminium frame means it&#8217;s a whole load of fun off-road but with everyday versatility built in, while the Shimano CUES 2&#215;9-speed parts and hydraulic disc brakes are reliable and durable.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to the demanding world of cross-country mountain biking, the classic hardtail remains one of the purest tools for the job.
