The MTX 8.6 Womens is the entry point into Boardman’s Multi-Terrain Crossover range, designed for riders who want a bike that feels comfortable, capable and easy to ride across a wide mix of surfaces. From rough back roads and towpaths to light trails and daily cycling, it offers stable handling and a confidence-inspiring position that helps you enjoy every part of your route.
The lightweight 7005 alloy frame uses smooth welds for a clean finish and offers a relaxed, upright riding posture for good visibility and all-day comfort. Its geometry is shaped to feel composed on uneven surfaces while still rolling efficiently on smoother paths. Female-specific touchpoints—including bar width, stem length, crank sizing and a supportive saddle—help riders find a natural, comfortable fit straight away.
A Suntour NEX DS HLO suspension fork with 63mm of travel softens bumps and gives extra control on gravel, roots or broken tarmac. The coil spring design offers predictable performance, while the hydraulic lockout lets you firm the fork up on smooth stretches to keep pedalling fast and efficient.
Shimano Altus 2x9 gearing provides a wide range suited to climbing steep hills, cruising at a steady pace or tackling varied terrain. The shifting is straightforward and reliable, with closely spaced ratios to keep you in the right gear. A clutch rear derailleur helps maintain chain tension over rougher sections, reducing the chance of chain drops.
Tektro M285 hydraulic disc brakes supply controlled stopping power in all weather conditions, helping you feel confident on damp cycle paths or loose trail surfaces. Schwalbe Tyrago tyres in a 37mm width give a stable, grippy ride with added KevlarGuard puncture protection to help reduce flats.
The bike rolls on durable 700c Boardman alloy wheels with Formula hubs, balancing longevity and smooth performance. Practical mounts for mudguards and a pannier rack mean the MTX 8.6 Womens is as suitable for weekday commuting and shopping trips as it is for weekend leisure rides.
The result is a versatile, comfortable and easy-handling hybrid that supports riders looking to explore a wide variety of terrain with confidence and enjoyment.
