Introduction

Hardtails offer mountain biking in its purest form. However, its simplicity doesn't mean it shouldn't be ready to shred or be forward-thinking in its design.

The updated Boardman MHT range delivers against both, with more connection to the trail, courtesy of new multi-alloy frame construction and a progressive geometry that places the MHT as a perfect all-rounder for UK trail centres and cross-country routes.

Frame & Fork

A great hardtail frame must be engaging and entertaining without being harsh and unpredictable.

To achieve the perfect balance, the MHT's frame utilises modern alloy extrusion technology in the stays, with a lighter, stronger 6011 butted aluminium used in the chainstay. This combination adds compliance to the rear triangle, helping the rear wheel to better track the trail, providing more feedback and comfort.

A 120mm Rockshox SID Select 2P fork up front has been designed specifically for the demands of modern trails and XC tracks.

The new RL damper provides improved durability with either open or fully rigid compression positions. With the DebonAir inclusion, you benefit from enhanced small bump responsiveness compared to the standard DebonAir internal.

Groupset

The MHT 9.0's SLX 12-speed groupset features a wide 10-51 tooth cassette with HYPERGLIDE+ technology, developed to enhance shifting whilst under load.

A SLX 12-speed RAPIDFIRE PLUS shifter makes gear selection swifter and simpler thanks to its lighter action and 2-way release function, and when the SLX M7100 derailleur is paired with both, you can take full advantage of the silent, stable, dependable performance for which the SLX groupset is renowned.

Wheels & Tyres

Maxxis Forekasters are the perfect "fit and forget" choice for the MHT range, designed with UK conditions in mind.

Designed specifically for the demands of modern shorter-travel trail bikes, they feature a versatile tread pattern that rolls faster than Maxxis' Minion tyre while offering more cornering stability and braking performance than their more XC-focused options.

The 9.0 comes equipped with the uprated folding bead tubeless version, featuring Maxxis EXO sidewall protection, a tough, cut-resistant material added to the tyre's sidewalls to protect your rubber on the rockiest trails.

Finishing Kit

Hardtail contact points have to work a little harder than most, helping reduce trail chatter and smooth out vibrations.

A wide, supportive Boardman MTB saddle provides a solid platform for seated pedalling, whilst a textured surface allows you to reposition your weight as the trail demands.

Up front, a strong, reliable 6061 alloy bar and short 45mm alloy stem, with Boardman lock-on grips, help ensure the bike goes in the direction you point it.
