Closely related to our BIG.NINE XT-EDITION, the XT2 also features our double butted aluminium frame with a more comfort-orientated geometry in comparison to our more racy models but offers the rider a huge 24-speed gear range courtesy of the Shimano XT/SLX drivetrain. Combined with the 100 mm air suspension fork provided by Manitou and powerful Shimano disc brakes, the XT2 combines comfort, climbing ability and reliable stopping power.
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'.
