Hardtail frames

Hardtail frames designed for technical off-road use, advanced bikepacking and demanding adventure travel on challenging terrain.

This category brings together front-suspension MTB platforms focused on structural strength, load stability and the ability to handle continuous gravel, rocky trails, remote tracks and extended self-supported routes. To understand when a hardtail is truly coherent with your real-world route, it can be helpful to start from the Touring bike – Complete guide to choosing the right one.

These are not XC race frames.
They are design foundations for building reliable bikes when:

• the terrain is irregular or deteriorated
• stress is continuous for many consecutive hours
• load is present, even when distributed in a bikepacking configuration

Modern geometry, balanced wheelbases and compatibility with appropriate suspension forks allow coherent builds for:

• technical light bikepacking
• demanding and extended adventure riding
• remote routes where control and traction matter more than outright speed

To understand how wheelbase, angles and rider position affect stability and control, see Bike geometry explained without formulas.

Generous tyre clearance, updated standards and functional mounting options make these frames versatile yet structurally solid platforms. Tyre width and pressure directly affect comfort and traction on technical terrain: learn more in Tyres and comfort — Guide.

If you are planning a travel or technical exploration hardtail, we can support you in assessing:

• fork compatibility
• bottom bracket and drivetrain standards
• wheel diameter (29” / 27.5”)
• geometry in relation to the intended load
