Carbon cross-country race hardtail with wireless Shimano XT Di2 and carbon wheels

• BIG.NINE CF3 III carbon frame with clearance for 2.4" tyres
• Fox 32 SC Performance fork, 100mm travel with remote lockout
• Shimano XT Di2 wireless 12-speed drivetrain
• FSA SCi30 carbon wheels and one-piece carbon cockpit, approx. 9.9 kg (size M)

Why This Bike Makes Sense

• For XC racers and fast trail riders who want a light, efficient race hardtail
• Built around 29-inch wheels that roll over rocks, roots and broken tarmac with less effort
• Suits the dirt and gravel trails around Pune, Sinhagad, Lavasa and the Western Ghats, as well as weekend cross-country rides
• Wireless Di2 shifting removes the rear shift cable, so mud and dust have less effect on shifting
