To build our most successful trail hardtail ever, we combined a beautifully built aluminium with long travel fork, capable 29er wheels and a long travel dropper post. The long reach and slack head angle make the BIG.TRAIL 600 a solid descender even when the trail is littered with roots and rocks, and the steep seat angle and central seating position give it its impressive climbing abilities. The BIG.TRAIL has the ups and the downs covered.
We often associate 'trail fun' and 'trail capability' with more and more full suspension travel because long-travel bikes are getting more capable on the way down and on the way back up again. At the same time, the trail hardtail has developed quietly in its shadow. After being absent from this segment, we returned to the trails with a bang onboard our BIG.TRAIL. Our trail hardtails took the bike press and trail riders by storm and have managed to perfectly combine a modern trail bike geometry with long-travel forks and chunky 29er wheels for amazing corner grip and comfort. Bikeboard.cc confirmed that we 'nailed it', while MBR, IMB and many more confirmed that the BIG.TRAIL is firmly at the top of the trail hardtail game. If you haven't heard or you're not yet a proud owner of it, then welcome to our BIG.TRAIL which offers simplified and hassle-free trail fun in spades. Available from S to XXL giving our BIG.TRAIL ample size and reach options.
