Product Description
2026 BOARDMAN MTR 8.6 ALUMINIUM FULL SUSPENSION
Modern Trail Geometry. Double Suspension Confidence.
The 2026 Boardman MTR 8.6 Full Suspension is a highly capable trail mountain bike engineered to deliver smooth control, excellent traction, and maximum fun on demanding singletrack terrain. Built around a modern aluminium full-suspension chassis, this versatile trail bike utilizes a dual air suspension setup to soak up roots, rocks, and hard landings while keeping your wheels planted. Paired with a rugged wide-range 1x10 drivetrain, aggressive Maxxis trail tires, and confidence-inspiring trail geometry, it provides aspiring off-road riders with a balanced, highly upgradeable platform that tackles technical climbs and descents with ease.
Trail-Ready Performance Highlights
Dual Air Suspension: Combines a 130mm Suntour XCR34 air fork with a RockShox Deluxe Select rear shock to deliver a perfectly balanced, fully tuneable suspension setup.
MicroSHIFT ADVENT 1x10 Drivetrain: A rugged drivetrain featuring a clutch rear derailleur and a massive 11-48T cassette range, engineered to keep your chain secure on rough trails.
Modern Trail Geometry: Features a slacker head tube angle for confident descending stability and a steeper seat tube angle for improved climbing traction and power transfer.
Maxxis Tire Combo: High-performance Maxxis Rekon (Front) and Forekaster (Rear) 2.4" tires providing the ultimate balance of cornering grip and rolling speed.
Hydraulic Stopping Power: Tektro HD-280 hydraulic brakes paired with large 180mm rotors front and rear for consistent stopping performance across all weather conditions.
Ready for Upgrades: Fully equipped with internal cable routing, a UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger), and complete dropper seatpost compatibility for seamless future upgrades.
