Updated with a 12-speed drivetrain and SRAM’s clever Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH), the latest generation of Xtrada mountain bikes makes climbing and repairs easier than ever. Shimano’s 12-speed Deore drivetrain gives you plenty of mechanical advantage, making even the steepest climbs a little less miserable. A derailleur hanger may not sound exciting, but if you’ve ever had to wait for your bike’s bespoke hanger to arrive for a repair, you know it is pretty great. Not only does the UDH simplify repairs, it also protects your derailleur in the event of an impact – because we all know those trailside rocks can get shovy. Outfitted with X-Fusion’s MIGO suspension fork, you get a lockout for the climbs and 120mm of travel to smooth out the descents. This time around, the 6-series also gets a dropper post, so your seat is there when you need it’s and out of the way when it time to flow with the trail. Equipped with a nimble modern geometry and grippy WTB tires, this hardtail is a solid way to start exploring the world of mountain biking.
- ALX Alloy frame is uses hydro-formed, triple butted 6061 aluminum that has been heat treated for improved strength and durability
- Tapered head tube broadens towards the bottom leading to better force transfer from the fork to the frame. The increased stiffness of the tapered head tube provides improved handling
- SRAM UDH makes repairs easier, rotates out of the way – protecting your derailleur – during an impact, has an indexing ledge to kick your chain back onto the small cog – reducing chain suck.
- X-Fusion MIGO front fork 120mm of air-sprung travel and a lockout for climbing
