The low weight of a carbon frame for the uphill, paired with trail-hardtail swagger, 120mm fork, aggressive tyres and a dropper post mean youve got a recipe for fun.
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.
