The Boardman MHT 8.9’s frame is built with multi-alloy construction, utilising 6061 and 6011 alloys for strength and compliance. This advanced alloy extrusion technology makes the frame both lightweight and durable, allowing for a more comfortable and responsive ride. Internal cable routing gives the bike a sleek look, while the smooth welds and clean lines enhance its modern trail-ready aesthetic.
Equipped with a RockShox Recon Gold RL fork, the MHT 8.9 provides 120mm of front suspension travel, handling roots, rocks, and other trail obstacles with ease. The Shimano Deore 12-speed drivetrain with its 10-51T cassette offers a wide range of gears, making climbs more manageable while enhancing overall trail performance. The Deore shifters and rear mech deliver crisp and silent gear changes, providing a refined ride on varied terrains.
With Maxxis Forekaster tyres, specially chosen for UK conditions, the MHT 8.9 delivers reliable grip on wet and dry trails alike. These tyres offer a balanced tread pattern for faster rolling while maintaining excellent cornering and braking control. The tubeless-ready tyres also come with EXO sidewall protection, adding resilience against sharp rocks and rough trails.
The Boardman dropper post allows for quick saddle height adjustments, boosting confidence and control on steep descents. Combined with Boardman’s attention to design and quality components, the MHT 8.9 is a solid choice for riders keen to advance their skills on an expertly crafted hardtail.
