Mountain biking is one of the most varied cycling disciplines, and arguably the most demanding when it comes to equipment. While full suspension bikes deliver impressive characteristics, the classic hardtail endures as a pure and effective tool. Our 29er wheel-equipped BIG.NINE range offers both carbon and aluminum constructions, along with diverse geometry choices. The refreshed CF carbon and LITE aluminum-framed BIG.NINE models feature modern geometry with improved standover clearance and handling stability, designed to better tackle the tough race tracks of today. Additionally, downcountry-ready TR options provide increased fork travel, aggressive tires, and dropper posts. The BIG.NINE TFS and SPEED models feature a more relaxed geometry, ensuring a comfortable, upright riding position. Our classic hardtails are foundational to our product lineup, showcasing the deep wealth of experience and knowledge gained from over half a century of bike manufacturing. The BIG.NINE range represents the symbiosis between cutting-edge frame technology, meticulous attention to detail, and the craftsmanship 'Made in Taiwan' symbolises.
