Add in the control of a 100mm RockShox Judy suspension fork, plus the dependable performance of a Shimano 9-speed drivetrain and powerful hydraulic disc brakes and it's ready to adventure at the weekend or be a utilitarian partner in the week. The frame of the Big Nine 80 offers up trickle down technology, the alloy frame uses a techno forming system for sleeker tube profiles and minimal weight without compromising on durability, while the smooth welding and internal cable routing results in a clean aesthetic and a rattle free ride.
