The Boardman MTR 8.8 is designed for riders who crave adventure on the trails. With a 6061 alloy frame, RockShox suspension, and Shimano CUES 11-speed drivetrain, this bike offers exceptional performance, whether climbing steep hills or descending fast, technical tracks.

Key Features:

Frame: 6061 alloy, full suspension, optimised geometry for control and stability
Front Suspension: RockShox Recon Silver RL, 130mm travel for smooth trail performance
Rear Suspension: RockShox Deluxe Select+, custom-tuned for support and grip
Drivetrain: Shimano CUES 11-speed, wide 11-50T cassette for versatile riding
Brakes: Shimano BR-MT200 hydraulic disc brakes, 180mm rotors front and rear
Wheels: 29" Boardman alloy, tubeless-compatible with Maxxis Rekon and Forekaster tyres
Standout Feature: Progressive suspension and internal cable routing for a clean, sleek look
Finance: Available with 0% APR finance options

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.

Occasionally, without notice, manufacturers change product design and/or specifications.

“ As a mid 40’s man returning to riding after a number of years, this is a fantastic bike. I wanted full suspension but didn’t want to pay a fortune for it. This is a fantastic option at the middle ground. Yes, you can get better but if your getting into riding, or getting back into riding and want a really good all rounder, this is hard to beat for the money. Would buy a Boardman from Tredz over Halfords any day of the week as you know it’s going to arrive ready for the road and has been checked by someone who actually cares about their job.
