The mountain bike experience starts here. With a lightweight and durable frame, along with a suspension fork and optimised wheel size (29-inch or 27.5-inch depending on frame size), this aluminium hardtail is everything an aspiring MTB rider needs to evolve and advance. Key Performance Factors Light and durable ALUXX aluminium frame features updated shaping and a lighter overall weight for improved performance on off-road terrain. Off-road control Geometry is optimised for either 29-inch wheels or 27.5-inch depending on frame size, and a suspension fork of either 100mm or 80mm. The result is in confident off-road performance for riders of all sizes. Modern MTB design Wide tyre clearance (up to 2.4-inch), internal cable routing, thru-axle hubs, integrated chainstay protection and quality components (including a 1x drivetrain option) gives aspiring trail riders room to grow.

Many brands strive to list the lowest possible weight, but in reality weight can vary based on size, finish, hardware and accessories. All our bikes are designed for best-in-class weight and ride quality.
