Its lightweight 6061 aluminium frame combines efficient pedalling performance with geometry that inspires confidence when the trail becomes steeper or more technical. Whether you're covering big distances, riding trail centres or tackling natural singletrack, the MHT 8.9 delivers a balanced and capable ride.At the front, a RockShox Reba RL air fork provides 120mm of travel to smooth roots, rocks and rough terrain while maintaining excellent support for climbing and fast-flowing trails. Combined with the bike's longer reach and slacker head angle, it offers greater stability and control without sacrificing the responsive handling expected from a hardtail.The SRAM SX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain gives you a wide gear range with its 11-50T cassette, making steep climbs more manageable while still offering the gearing needed for fast descents and flatter sections. SRAM Level T hydraulic disc brakes provide dependable stopping power and control in all weather conditions, helping you ride with confidence on technical terrain.Tubeless-ready Boardman wheels are paired with Vittoria Barzo TLR Graphene 2.0 tyres in a 29 x 2.25in size. This fast-rolling cross-country tread offers excellent grip across mixed trail conditions while remaining efficient on longer rides. The tubeless-ready setup also gives you the option to improve puncture resistance and run lower tyre pressures with a conversion kit.Boost axle spacing and thru-axles add stiffness and steering precision, while the frame is ready to accept an internally routed dropper post for riders looking to upgrade in the future. At just 13.2kg, the MHT 8.9 remains light enough for all-day adventures while offering the capability and confidence to keep progressing your riding on more demanding trails.
