Oiz and serious cross-country are synonymous, its presence on the World Cup is undeniable. Is the lightest, stiffest and most efficient machine available whether you pin on a number or take it up to the highest peak on your afternoon ride. Oiz has what you need to get there - there is no better weapon to aim for the top.Oiz has been designed for fast and experienced riders who demand a super light and efficient bike that offers reliable suspension in technical XC racing and high performance in cross country racing.
When it comes to swift but gnarly hardtails the Orange Crush line-up is the benchmark others aim for. The original aluminium hardcore hardtail gets a 2022 tune-up to keep it ahead of the game. The frame has gone through a couple of geometry adjustments and a few construction refinements. First, and most obvious, is the new one-piece chainstay yoke. It is forged for maximum toughness and provides improved lateral rigidity for pedalling performance, and leaves plenty of clearance for larger tyres, while giving the chainring plenty of space to breathe in muddy conditions.The new frame features a tapered headtube, giving us more weld area to add strength and provide more support for the lower headset bearing. Where others skimp on the bottom bracket shell, we belive the extra strength benefits of a 73mm width in this area pays back big-time of a hardtail that gets the thrashing we know a typical Crush will get.GENRE DEFINING GEOMETRYFor the new frame's geometry we've pulled things forward (seat-tube 75.5°) to place the rider in the perfect climbing position without that feeling that you are 'falling off the back'. We've slackened the front-end (headangle 63.5°) and stretched the wheelbase for stability, while keeping the reach roomy (480mm on a size Large). Coupled with the reduced offset forks we now spec, the rider's weight pitches perfectly in the attack position for more balanced weight distribution and lets the front wheel find grip and prevent front end wash-out. That's not happening here - getting that front tyre biting in and letting the bike flow is what the Crush is all about.There are plenty more details to admire on the new frame; a strong and secure bolt-through rear axle, new cnc-ed cable grommets that not only look great, but keep things tight when everything else around you is getting loose. Some neat new gusseting around the seat-stays add strength and confidence.This is one of the most significant updates to the Crush hardtail platform in years, in testing we've fallen in love with it all over again. It's not all about bouncy bikes, sometimes you just have to take the fight to the trail, and the new Crush takes it to another level.The Crush 29 follows the same philosophy as the Crush. Forward thinking geometry means this 29er version is every bit as solid a performer as its 27.5 wheel sibling. Also running a slack front-end (in this case a headangle at 64.5°), this is one fast rolling hardtail.

If you have heard of Ragley, you already know the Blue Pig name. From the early days of the ‘hardcore hardtail’ it has pushed the geometry envelope and been loved by anyone who rides for all-out grin-inducing fun.The 2022 Blue Pig keeps the flame burning strong: Custom triple butted 4130 Chromoly tubing, ISCG 05 tabs, a 44mm head tube, internal dropper routing and a 148x12mm boost rear end. But it’s the geometry that defines it: the 63.75 degree head angle making its rowdy intentions abundantly clear.Comfortable enough to ride all-day, tough enough for the bike park and agile enough to drift through the local woodland loam. The Blue Pig is built to take abuse and inspire confidence when things get gnarly, but when it’s not been pillaging the trough; it’s light to ride and quite happy putting in the miles to get to the good stuff.A stacked spec package with a Shimano 12-speed SLX/Deore groupset and SRAM DB8 brakes.
