More About The New Boardman MTR 8.6 Road Bike

New 29er platform

Sitting on 29-inch wheels for the first time, the Boardman MTR line-up have been designed as a range of trail-ready bikes which feel grounded and sturdy through British and Irish singletrack. With 140mm of fork travel and 145mm in the rear, the MTR 8.6 is ready to soak up rough terrain. The 66 degree head angle is a degree slacker than the outgoing model and reach has been increased across all sizes to make for a longer, more planted bike.
 
The little things that matter

With Chris Boardman as Chairman of the company, Boardman have a wealth of experience to draw on and are always looking at the fine details when developing bikes. The new MTR platform has been designed around real-world trail riding, with a geometry and suspension set up honed through countless hours of testing. They’ve also worked to develop a range of saddles using advanced pressure mapping and real-world testing to make sure any saddle on a Boardman bike is going to suit the majority of people riding it.
