The Boardman MTR 8.8 offers a blend of stability and agility, thanks to its modern geometry featuring a longer top tube and slacker head angle. These design updates improve handling on steep descents and technical terrain, while a steeper seat angle ensures better pedalling efficiency during tough climbs. The frame's internal cable routing keeps things clean and tidy, and the UDH hanger adds to its durability, reducing worries about replacements.
The RockShox Recon Silver RL fork with 130mm travel handles bumps and impacts with ease, providing control and comfort on rough trails. Paired with the RockShox Deluxe Select+ rear shock, the MTR 8.8 excels in offering support through compressions and drops, ensuring grip and confidence when the trail gets tricky.
Equipped with the new Shimano CUES 11-speed groupset, the MTR 8.8 delivers smooth and reliable shifting, perfect for all riding styles. The wide-range 11-50T cassette ensures you’re always in the right gear, whether you're powering up climbs or speeding down descents.
This bike rolls on 29" tubeless-compatible wheels, paired with Maxxis Rekon and Forekaster tyres, which provide excellent traction in various conditions. Whether on hard-packed trails or muddy tracks, these tyres are designed for UK terrain, making the MTR 8.8 a reliable companion.
