Description

Features
29er aluminium hardcore hardtail with Marzocchi Z2 140mm fork, Shimano Deore 1 x 12 drivetrain and a dropper seat post.

The modern trail bike geometry has a slack enduro inspired 65.5° head angle, steep seat angle and a long reach. A short seat tube delivers a low standover height giving plenty of space to manoeuvre on the bike when the trail gets technical but still accommodates a long travel dropper post. The geometry means most sizes work for most body sizes so riding style can be factored in. If you want to go crazy fast, take the longer size, for agility, take a shorter size. The Big Trail has hidden talents, in addition to two sets of bottle bosses, theres a trail mount under the top tube giving the ability to carry tools and extra gear on the bike. Its also possible to fit mudguards and a rack if you want to trek further afield.
