The Boardman MHT range is designed to blur the boundaries between cross-country and trail riding, offering confidence-inspiring handling and control when the trail heads downhill, but without compromising speed and fun-factor on mellower routes.Whether you’re planning to blast around a trail centre or cover big distances on an epic day out in the countryside, the geometry and design of the lightweight alloy frames of the MHT range have got it covered. Slacker head angles and longer reach compared to a traditional cross country bike, combined with 120mm air-sprung forks deliver great stability and traction. Light and efficient smooth-weld alloy frames with wide-range 1X drivetrains across the range mean climbing isn’t a chore either.MHT 8.9The MHT 8.9 is our top of the line hardtail with carefully chosen specification to give maximum control, speed and fun on the trails. A lightweight 6061 T6 aluminium frame is at the core of the bike, with SRAM’s 12-speed SX Eagle drivetrain giving a huge spread of gears to cover steep ups and downs. SRAM also cover braking duties with their powerful Level T hydraulic disc brakes.A 120mm air sprung RockShox Reba fork is supple and well-damped, keeping your bars level and your front tyre pressed into the ground over rough trails. 29x2.25” Vittoria Barzo TLR tyres are an aggressive cross country tread with an advanced, Graphene 2.0 infused compound that rolls fast and grips well, and are tubeless-ready, offering a simple upgrade route to ditch tubes forever (tubeless conversion kit required separately).Key Features:Lightweight 6061 aluminium frame with Boost spacing and 12mm thru-axle,SRAM SX Eagle 12 speed drivetrain with a wide range 11-50t cassette,SRAM Level T hydraulic disc brakes,RockShox Reba RL 120mm Boost thru-axle fork,Vittoria Barzo TLR Graphene 2.0 tubeless-ready tyres.

Shimano MT200 brakes help to keep speed in check as the trail heads downwards.A wide 780mm bar and short 45mm stem combine with a Satori Sorata Pro dropper post, allowing you to steer precisely and move your weight around over the bike to fully exploit the grip on offer from the tubeless-ready Maxxis Minion DHF and DHRII tyre combination.Key Features:New 29er platform with 145/150mm travel and UK trail focussed geometry,RockShox Recon Silver RL fork and Deluxe Select+ shock deliver controlled and tuneable suspension performance,Shimano MT200 brakes and Deore 1x11 drivetrain handle stopping and going efficiently,Maxxis Minion DHF & DHRII tyres on wide Boardman rims grip without folding in the corners,Satori Sorata Pro dropper post allows maximum body movement on the bike.
The MTR 8.9 offers a beautifully balanced specification, using the same frame geometry and rear suspension set up as the 9.0, but with our X7 triple butted alloy. Aggressive trail riding places big demands on your equipment, and the high-performing kit on the MTR 8.9 is more than up to the task.SRAM provide their NX Eagle drivetrain, which combines a 12 speed 11-50t cassette with a 32T chainring to give plenty of range to tame steep climbs and pedal hard down the other side. Powerful 4 Piston SRAM Guide T brakes with 180mm rotors will keep your speed under control when you need it too.Soaking up bumps and keeping wheels planted on the floor is taken care of with RockShox’s Gold 35 fork, and Deluxe Select+ shock in a custom tune. As the name suggests, the Gold 35 has a stiff 35mm chassis giving great steering precision throughout its 150mm travel. Steering control is further enhanced with a 780mm handlebar and 45mm stem, giving great stability and leverage to get the bike turned in hard.Maxxis Minion DHF and DHRII tyres give great grip for hard cornering and braking and are mounted on 30mm internal width Boardman rims, needing only a tubeless conversion kit to ditch the hassle of inner tubes forever.Finally, a Satori Sorata Pro dropper post with 125mm travel on size S and M, and 150mm in size L and XL will let you move around easily on the bike with the saddle dropped out of the way on technical terrain.Key Features:New 29er platform with 145/150mm travel and UK trail focussed geometry,RockShox 35 Gold fork and Deluxe Select+ shock give outstanding, easily tuneable suspension performance,SRAM Guide T 4-piston brakes and 12 speed NX Eagle gears perform flawlessly,Maxxis Minion DHF & DHRII tyres on wide Boardman rims grip without folding in the corners,Satori Sorata Pro dropper post allows maximum body movement on the bike.

The Riot MTB+ combines Bont Cycling's professional-series technical features including an anatomical power transfer platform for greater efficiency, replaceable sole guards, unique carbon composite shaping, competition-grade materials and BOA dial Fit System to create the most technically-advanced entry-level MTB shoe available. Heat Mouldable Fit Bont Cycling's proprietary resin has been perfected over the last 40 years and is designed to become malleable at relatively low temperatures. The carbon chassis (base) of all Bont Cycling shoes can be heat moulded at home without the need for specialist equipment. Bont Cycling shoes feature a unique bathtub-style construction which allows for small changes to fit and shape, not size. Any 'stiff' area can be adjusted during the heat moulding process however, limitations do exist due to the characteristics of carbon fibre. Carbon fibre is not a highly flexible material nor is it designed to stretch when in its finished state and it's only through Bont Cycling's resin mix that allows it to be adjusted during the heat moulding process. For Heat Mould Instructions click here Last Design A last is a replica of a foot that the cycling shoe is built around. Traditional last makers do not make cycling shoe lasts, they only make shoe lasts designed for everyday walking shoes. Surprisingly, the majority of other brands still use a traditional dress shoe last when building their cycling shoes.. Bont Cycling, on the other hand, has been perfecting its performance footwear lasts since 1975 and the process is ongoing. This is why they believe Bont Cycling shoes continue to be the leader in providing the most functional and anatomically correct support to cyclists. Their motto in terms of cycling shoe fit is simple, "we make shoes for cycling, not walking." Medial Longitudinal Arch Support Overpronation is one of the main contributors to incorrect tracking of knees during a cyclist's pedalling phase - due to internal rotation of the tibia and femur. This can result in knee injuries. In addition, the rotation of the tibia/femur can cause the pelvis to tilt resulting in lower back strain. Structural medial longitudinal arch support is provided in the Riot+ to stop over pronation of feet. This is also supported by Bont Cycling’s lateral forefoot support.
