Our aluminium BIG.NINE XT-EDITION hardtail that just drips with Shimano’s XT components. But the XT is more than just a high-quality drivetrain and powerful brakes. To finish the picture and make our XT-EDITION one of the most desirable bikes in our aluminium hardtail line-up, we spec our double-butted aluminium frame with a Manitou Markhor fork and tubeless-ready wheelset.

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 is equipped BIG.NINE range comes in carbon and aluminium and features multiple geometry options. The carbon and LITE framed BIG.NINE, with its racing geometry, is an ideal companion on XC and marathon race tracks whilst the more relaxed geometry of the BIG. NINE TFS and SPEED offer 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 almost half a century of bike production and manufacturing. The BIG.NINE range symbolises the symbiosis between modern frame technology, attention to detail and craftsmanship ‘Made in Taiwan’.
