The Trail Hardtail Benchmark
With a perfect 10/10 from MBR, the top-of-the range 629 is probably the best trail hardtail you can buy. It’s progressive geometry and specially selected components have been crafted to allow any rider – both relative beginners and experienced riders alike – to be able to maximise their fun by confidently taking on technical trails as well as covering ground quickly and comfortably on bigger rides thanks to its low weight and smooth-rolling 29er wheels.
Highlights
– Light yet tough 6061 T6 hydroformed, multi-butted Singe Chain Ring (1X) specific frame
– 120mm RockShox 35 Gold RL suspension fork
– Capable & smooth-rolling 29er wheels + grippy Maxxis tyres
– SRAM NX Eagle 1x12 transmission (32T chainring x 11-50 cassette)
– SRAM Guide T four-piston hydraulic disc brakes (180mm rotors front + rear)
– Whyte Drop.It dropper post (with frame size-specific drop)
