The 6066 alloy chassis uses hidden welds for a clean finish and features Boardman’s new long-travel 29er geometry. With a longer reach, slack 66-degree head angle and low stand-over, it offers stability on steep ground while still remaining agile on flatter, flowing sections.At the front, the RockShox Pike Select brings 150mm of supple yet supportive travel. Its Charger RC damper and stiff 35mm chassis help the front wheel track accurately across roots, rocks and off-camber sections. Paired with the custom-tuned RockShox Deluxe Select+ rear shock, the bike delivers 145mm of composed rear travel that deals with trail chatter while resisting harsh bottom-outs. Rebound and lockout adjustability allow riders to fine-tune the bike for climbing, technical trails or long days in the hills.Shimano’s SLX 12-speed drivetrain offers crisp shifting and a huge 10–51t cassette range, making steep climbs more manageable and giving enough top-end speed for faster linking sections. The matching SLX four-piston brakes provide consistent, powerful stopping with excellent modulation, helped by large 203mm/180mm rotors front and rear.WTB i30 TCS rims paired with Shimano Boost hubs form a tough and responsive wheelset ready for aggressive riding. The Maxxis Minion DHF 2.5” front and DHR II 2.4” rear tyres are a proven combination for loose, technical terrain, giving predictable grip under braking, through turns and on wet roots or rough rock. The wheels arrive pre-taped with tubeless valves in the box—simply add sealant to experience improved traction and fewer punctures.A Satori Sorata Pro dropper post provides 125mm travel on size M and 150mm on L and XL, keeping the Fizik Taiga saddle out of the way when the trail turns steep. Wide 780mm bars and a short 45mm stem give a confident, controlled feel at speed while maintaining responsive handling on twistier sections.Practical touches such as internal cable routing and a recommended side-entry bottle cage (with bottles up to 550ml) make the bike easier to live with day-to-day.Stable, capable and impressively composed, the Boardman MTR 9.0 29″ is designed for riders who want a trail bike that can take on rough terrain without feeling sluggish on easier miles.
