The Blue Pig Race features a robust and stylish Chromoly (CrMo) frame armed with long-travel suspension, a slick-shifting 12-Speed groupset from Shimano and Enduro World Series (EWS) proven wheels from Nukeproof. RockShox Lyrik Suspension Forks and Chromoly Steel Frame RockShox Lyrik 160mm-travel forks carry you across rough terrain with composure and confidence. An SLX/XT 12-Speed groupset from Shimano with powerful hydraulic disc brakes efficiently crank you up steep hills and offers superior stopping power for fast descents. This upgraded Blue Pig model also features a Brand-X Ascend dropper seatpost that enables easy saddle height adjustment while you ride. And Ragley has topped this bike build off with a durable and stylish finishing kit. The Blue Pig Race is ideal for steep technical climbs, fast downhill descents and epic enduro sessions. 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 Blue Pig Race takes the best bits from the standard Blue Pig and gives it another shot of adrenaline. The Race version gets an additional 10mm of travel from a RockShox Lyrik RC suspension fork, slackening out the head angle and making it even more capable on the rough stuff. Other upgrades include a Shimano SLX/XT 12-Speed groupset and Nukeproof’s Horizon V2 wheelset, now used by the Nukeproof multiple EWS winning race team. Get your weight down, spot the turn, keep off the brakes and let it fly. The only limitation here is your eagerness to ride.

Manufactured from triple-butted 7075 alloy, the Zero100 Deep Bar offers the perfect blend of comfort and speed. Whether you’re attacking a descent or spinning up to speed on the flat, they’ll offer a reliable and consistent feel. Evolved Design Ever the perfectionists, Deda has gradually refined the Zero bars over the years and this version is a leading light amongst bar designs. Featuring the same RHM (Rapid Hand Movement) as seen on Deda’s top-end Alanera model, the Zero100 Deep Drop bars enable you to adopt a more aerodynamic riding position when riding on the drops. This also provides extra clearance for the arms when sprinting. Also, to improve hand contact and lever reach, the drops have a continuous incremental radius design. This helps to overcome the limitations of anatomical shapes.

Rolling on a durable aluminium maxtal rim construction, this E-MTB wheelset is purpose-built for the increased speeds and torque produced by electric bike motors. Its wider 30mm internal rim width gives it additional stiffness and cornering precision, while its 28 threaded three-cross spokes deliver further lateral stiffness on rough terrains. Mavic has also equipped it with some of its finest technologies such as Pinch Flat Protection (PFP) and Fore Tapeless Tubeless technology, so you can benefit from a reduced chance of punctures, increased strength and tape-free tubeless tyre mounting. This makes it a great choice of upgrade for riders who want a strong and dependable wheelset wherever their next E-MTB adventure takes them. Tubeless-Ready E-MTB Wheelset Coming equipped with Mavic's patented PFP technology (Pinch Flat Protection), this wheelset's rims have a wider contact surface at the top of the sidewall to significantly reduce the risk of tyre cuts and punctures. The 30mm wide rims allow you to run lower tyre pressure for better traction and smooth-rolling efficiency. In addition, its patented Fore technology features a fully sealed upper rim bridge that eliminates the need for rim tape, making it the easiest system for mounting and changing tubeless tyres. Lightweight and Durable This E-MTB wheelset has been put through Mavic's ISM rim machining process, which removes material from the rims in strategic areas to minimise weight, without compromising strength, and its Black Shield treatment protects the rims against impacts and scratches. Mavic uses 28 straight-pull spokes (same spoke length throughout) for a strong connection between the rim and hub, while its ultra-reliable ID360 double ratchet system provides quick engagement and acceleration. Set up for 6-bolt disc brake mounts, these 29” wheels come complete with UST tubeless valves, spare spokes and accessories.

I checked my balance and peered apprehensively at the sheer drop below. Once I felt comfortable, I radioed down to Stu.'I'm just gonna unclip quickly,' I said. My walkie-talkie crackled straight away. Stu sounded pretty stressed. 'Dude, keep the rope on!'I edged forward, my hands and feet scoping out the summit for any loose rock. The ridge pinnacle was still only a meter wide, if that, but I felt pretty stable.'This bit's fine,' I said. 'The rope makes it harder for me..."
