Confident handling and high-value thanks to our latest LITE aluminium frame and a trail-ready 120 mm fork, plus dropper post. Whether you want to rail racetracks or sprint singletrack, it's the perfect place to start.
Progressive performance, without the big price. The BIG.NINE 600 TR uses our latest LITE aluminium frame to deliver cutting-edge geometry and handling that's also high on comfort and control thanks to a 120 mm SR Suntour fork, clearance for 2.4" tyres and our own dropper post. Whether you want to sprint singletrack or rip around race tracks, it's the perfect place to get started thanks to dependable Shimano 11-speed shifting and confident performance from hydraulic disc brakes.
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 updated CF carbon and LITE aluminium framed BIG.NINE offer truly modern geometry with increased standover clearance and handling stability to better deal with the tough race tracks of today, with downcountry ready TR options that boost fork travel and add in aggressive tyres and dropper posts. 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 over half a century of bike production and manufacturing. The BIG.NINE range represents the symbiosis between modern frame technology, attention to detail and craftsmanship 'Made in Taiwan' symbolises.

* All specifications listed are subject to change without notice. Please note that our specifications may be impacted by manufacturer component substitution changes caused by high global demand for bikes and resulting supply chain issues in the bike industry. We recommend confirming the specifications with your local Evo Cycles showroom if you have any questions.
