Made for racing but also with ambitious trail and long-distance riding in mind, our BIG.NINE 5000 carbon hardtail offers a comfortable and inspiring ride whatever distance or trail you put in front of it.

You like fast and flowy trail sessions through the woods. You seek out the climbs as much as the descents, and you don't shy away from testing your strength and skills in the occasional XC or marathon race. If any of this is true, then the 5000 might be the perfect bike for you. Our compliant carbon frame featuring FLEX STAY technology helps to absorb some of the trail shatter, thus keeping you fresh for the final climb.

Mountain biking is one of the most varied cycling disciplines and probably the most demanding when it comes to equipment. While full suspension bikes offer amazing riding characteristics, the classic hardtail remains one of the purest tools for the job. Our 29er wheel equipped BIG.NINE range comes in carbon and aluminium and features multiple geometry options. The carbon and LITE framed BIG.NINE, with its racing geometry, is an ideal companion on XC and marathon race tracks whilst the more relaxed geometry of the BIG.NINE TFS and SPEED offers a more comfortable, upright riding position. Our classic hardtails are the backbone of our range and showcase the enormous wealth of experience and knowledge we could gain in almost half a century of bike production and manufacturing. The BIG.NINE range symbolises the symbiosis between modern frame technology, attention to detail and craftsmanship.
