Product Description

2026 BOARDMAN CXR 8.9 ALUMINIUM

Mud-Shedding Speed. Pure Cyclocross Soul.

The 2026 Boardman CXR 8.9 is a race-ready cyclocross bike purpose-built to conquer muddy courses, steep off-camber banks, and explosive grass crits. Constructed from lightweight high-grade 7005 alloy with smooth-welded seams, its stiff chassis delivers immediate power transfer when sprinting out of sharp turns or surging up steep embankments. Paired with a dampening full-carbon fork, a mud-shedding 1x11 SRAM drivetrain, and aggressive cyclocross-specific tires, this agile machine gives racers and hard-charging gravel riders the reliability, mud clearance, and snappy handling needed to attack the course from the green light to the final lap.

Race-Ready CX Features

  • 7005 Alloy Frame: High-grade aluminum construction featuring smooth welds, offering a lightweight yet stiff platform engineered for explosive accelerations.

  • Full Carbon Fork: Designed with a tapered carbon steerer and blades to significantly reduce front-end weight while soaking up harsh track vibrations.

  • SRAM Apex 1x11 Drivetrain: Simple, intuitive, and highly mud-resistant single-ring setup that eliminates front derailleur jamming in messy racing conditions.

  • Hydraulic Disc Brakes: SRAM Apex hydraulic brakes deliver consistent, predictable stopping power when diving into tight corners or steep off-road descents.

  • Donnelly PDX Tires: Factory-fitted with a 33c cyclocross staple, renowned for exceptional mud-shedding capabilities and aggressive cornering bite.

  • Tubeless-Ready Wheelset: Boardman CXR wheels engineered to allow lower tire pressures, dramatically improving cornering traction and reducing pinch-flat risks.
