This 17.5″ or medium aluminium 6061 frame Barracuda Boulder men’s mountain-bike in black is your ticket to the trails! Utilising modern geometry for a relaxed yet off-road ready ride, this MTB is suitable for all but the roughest of trails and large drops. Tough enough to tackle most trails and all of the cycling that towns and canal tow-paths and off-shoots have to offer. With a 27.5″ wheel you’re in the sweet-spot for mixed terrain riding. Large enough to tackle obstacles, nimble enough to make quick turns and react to your input at the handlebars.
Brakes wise, you’ve got DISC hydraulics for razor sharp-stops, with another benefit of hydraulic brakes is that they are self-adjusting. This works due to the brake pistons ‘pushing out’ as the pads wear, maintaining a consistent pad-to-disc distance, regardless of pad material thickness. For you, much less time spent worrying about inner-cables and having ‘loose’ feeling brakes. Sure, you’ll need to have the brakes bled once in a while to refresh the fluid, but much less often than you would have to replace inner-cables for good performance. Reach adjustment screws on the brake levers allow for a custom fit to your hand size. Spec’d for large 180mm rotors, this helps out with brake cooling and extends the life of your pads and brake fluid.
A modern 1×10 MicroShift drivetrain kicks this bike into the current era spec-wise, complimented with a wide-range 11-46t rear cassette. You’ll be tackling your everyday rides with ease! Reading out the rest you’ve got:
- Classic performance saddle
- Quick release alloy seatpost and wheels
- Alloy a-headset with alloy riser handlebars
- ZOOM 100mm travel suspension fork with lock-out (for switching up between flat surface or bumpy terrain riding)
