Go ahead try and find something that’ll put a bigger smile on your face than absolutely smashing the perfect line on a fast capable hardtail. The Epic Hardtail Expert exists to make that smile even bigger—and to make sure your face gets just as hard of a workout as your legs.Working towards the lightest bike possible has long been the race within the race but at what cost? The battle of the grams certainly hasn’t been without its casualties with hardtail XC race bikes coming to stand for a harsh twitchy ride at the expense of capability and versatility. But who said fatigue from fighting against your own bike makes you any faster?

The ridiculously capable mystifyingly comfortable head-shakingly light and all-around fast Epic Hardtail.

Shimano Di2 electronic shifting lets you change from the big to small chainrings, or vice versa, whenever you like while minimising the risk of a dropped chain. Similarly, you can perform rear shifts without the need to trim the front derailleur to avoid chain rub. Full- and semi-synchronized shifting functions can be selected using the E-TUBE app. With digitally accurate electronic shifts and coordinated communication between shifters and derailleurs, the new Shimano 105 front derailleur offers the best shifting you've ever experienced.Great value high performance 105 double Di2 front derailleurThe Di2 front derailleur's operation is pioneering, smooth shifting is guaranteed thanks to wireless communication with the gear levers. What's more, shifting the rear derailleur automatically trims the front derailleurFull and semi synchronized shifting programable, Synchro shift compatible meaning a single shifter can control both front and rear shifting which can be fully custom tuned to your riding preferences. Semi synchronized shifting means when a front shift is made the rear mech will automatically correct to the appropriate ratioThe removal of traditional mechanical cables in favour of electrical wires that connect to the battery not only eliminates poor shifting caused by contaminates, corrosion and stretching, but provides effortless gear shiftsWireless connection to the shiftersThe front derailleur also trims automatically; the cage moves in response to the position of the rear derailleur on the cassette to ensure no chain rub and a quiet unobtrusive ride, enabling you to concentrate on the road aheadDesigned to work with the wider gear pitch spacing Shimano chainset without sacrificing shifting performance on bikes with 135 / 142 mm O.L.D.Braze-on fit as standard; if your bike does not have a braze-on mount seat tube adapters are available12-speed E-tube SD300 wire compatible

A thru axle locks the wheel tightly into the fork, increasing stiffness and improving handling precision, whilst also ensuring the disc rotor is perfectly aligned.Like all the Mutli-Terrain Crossover range, the MTX 8.9 has mounts for mudguards and a pannier rack, making it flexible for year round leisure riding and commuting.Key Features:Lightweight triple-butted aluminium frame with comfortable ride position,Simple and smooth shifting 1X11 Shimano Deore gears,Light weight air spring suspension fork with thru-axle gives great comfort and control,35mm Schwalbe Tyrago puncture-resistant tyres.
