More demanding cross-country tracks need more capable bikes. Lightweight carbon fibre frame, carbon wheels and cockpit plus rapid-fire wireless shifting.
Cross-country race tracks are more demanding than ever, which is why the BIG.NINE XT is capable than ever too. Our lightweight CF3 carbon frame with progressive geometry is paired with the lightning-fast wireless shifting of Shimano XT Di2 to give a supremely capable ride. The Fox 32 SC Performance fork uses a stiff chassis to deliver 100 mm of controlled travel with a bar-mounted lockout, while FSA’s NS SIC one-piece cockpit and SCi30 carbon wheels minimise weight and maximise speed.
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 size 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.
