Hail to the king. The latest Shimano XTR Di2 featuring BIG.NINE 10K is our utterly modern take on a cross-country race hardtail, ready to take on the most challenging tracks with confidence thanks to the completely revised frame design. With progressive geometry and AGILOMETER sizing, it delivers ruthlessly efficient uphill performance with more descending ability than ever before, plus more fatigue reducing compliance. Our lightest CF5 carbon fibre frame is fitted with the best cross-country race components money can buy; Fox 32 SC Factory fork, the latest wireless Shimano XTR Di2 drivetrain, a FSA NS SIC one-piece carbon cockpit and Reynold Blacklabel 309 carbon wheels.<\/p>\n
When it comes to the demanding world of cross-country mountain biking, the classic hardtail remains one of the purest tools for the job. Our 29er wheel equipped BIG.NINE range comes with the choice of carbon or two different aluminium frames to deliver a ride for all budgets. The latest CF carbon and LITE aluminium framed BIG.NINE offer truly modern geometry with increased standover clearance and handling stability to better deal with the tough race tracks of today. They also have downcountry ready TR options that boost fork travel and add in aggressive tyres and dropper posts. For riders starting out, the updated BIG.NINE TFS offers more relaxed geometry and builds that deliver great value and versatility on or off the trail, with BIG.SEVEN TFS models using 27.5″ wheels to deliver a fit for for shorter riders. Our classic XC hardtails are the backbone of our range and showcase the enormous wealth of experience and knowledge we have gained in over half a century of bike production and manufacturing. The BIG.NINE range represents the symbiosis between modern frame technology, attention to detail and craftsmanship that ‘Made in Taiwan’ stands for.<\/p>\n
