Entry-level carbon hardtail with an XC and marathon honed geometry. The BIG.NINE 3000 is the most affordable of our carbon hardtails while still offering quality Shimano drivetrain components and a reliable Manitou suspension fork. The compliant carbon frame features FLEX STAY technology that helps to absorb some of the trail shatter, thus keeping you fresh for longer. A perfect bike to get you racing.
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 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 offers 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'.
