The new BIG.TRAIL trail hardtail – trail fun simplified

Today we often associate increased ‘trail fun’ with more and more full suspension travel due to the fact that long-travel bikes are getting more capable on the way down but also 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 are back with a bang, that combines modern trail bike geometry with long-travel forks and chunky 29er wheels for amazing corner grip and comfort. Welcome to the new BIG.TRAIL which offers simplified and hassle-free trail fun in spades. Find out all the technical and design details of our new trail hardtail in our dedicated explainer video.
