Made for the way you ride.
Lightweight CF3 carbon fibre frame, high-volume tyres and progressive geometry mean that it’s rapid uphill yet confidence-inspiring going back down.
Whether you want to take on epic rides or cross-country races, the BIG.NINE 3000 is the perfect place to start. With a lightweight CF3 carbon fibre frame that uses our AGILOMETER sizing system and progressive geometry, it combines lightning-fast reactions with downhill abilities and comfort that you’d never expect. The 100 mm travel RockShox Judy Gold tames bumps with ease, while the Shimano 12-speed drivetrain and hydraulic disc brakes let you make the most of the grip from the high-volume 2.4″ tyres.
Mountain biking is one of the most varied cycling disciplines and probably the most demanding when it comes to equipment. While full suspension bikes offer amazing riding characteristics, the classic hardtail remains one of the purest tools for the job. Our 29er wheel equipped BIG.NINE range comes in carbon and aluminium and features multiple geometry options. The updated 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, with downcountry ready TR options that boost fork travel and add in aggressive tyres and dropper posts. The more relaxed geometry of the BIG.NINE TFS and SPEED offers a more comfortable, upright riding position. Our classic hardtails are the backbone of our range and showcase the enormous wealth of experience and knowledge we could gain 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 ‘Made in Taiwan’ symbolises.
