Hardtail mountain bikes are very British which is why we love them! From their practicality and easy maintenance to their progressive geometry and playfulness.
The Black Rocks HT was developed with our love of hardtail MTB’s and a desire to hone in on off road skills and line choices. This all new series is your bridge to better terrain and more challenging conditions. It is designed with modern, long and low geometry, often found on aggressive Trail/Enduro bikes, with all the key points considered.
Aggressive trail geometry - The slack head tube angle provides confidence when descending, while the steep seat tube angle aids climbing. Combined with short chain stays the Black Rocks HT geometry offers a responsive yet playful ride ready to tackle what you throw it at.
Boost spacing
Boost gives a 148 x 12mm rear and 110 x 15mm front spacing which allows for the hub flanges to be further apart which gives a potentially stronger and stiffer rear wheel.
WTB rims and tyres
30mm wide WTB i30 rims provide a stiff, low profile platform for the WTB Trail Boss 2.4" tyres.
