The Multi-Terrain Crossover MTX range of front suspension hybrids is incredibly versatile. Lightweight aluminium frames with stable and comfortable riding positions, broad gear ranges, powerful hydraulic disc brakes and short travel suspension forks mean these bikes can handle almost anything. Rough roads, cycle paths and off-road trails are all in a day’s work for an MTX.The 8.9 is the ultimate MTX, with a high level specification offering outstanding performance across a huge variety of terrains. Key upgrades to the drivetrain, brakes and fork build on the capability of the 8.8, taking it to the next level.Using a single chainring, Shimano Deore 1X11 gears offer a wide range of ratios, but without the complexity of a front derailleur to worry about. With only one gear shifter, simply change up or down with one hand to suit the gradient or surface. A narrow-wide tooth profile on the chainring teeth, and a clutch mechanism in the rear derailleur keep the chain taut and on the chainring, even on rough ground.Shimano MT400 hydraulic disc brakes offer outstanding braking power and modulation, which combine with the grippy and Kevlar puncture protected Schwalbe Tyrago 35mm tyres to keep you in control on all sorts of surfaces.

Our new one-piece integrated handlebar and stem adds a clean aesthetic to the look and feel, while the ergonomic grips help to reduce numbness and long ride discomfort.The HYB 8.9 is our highest specification hybrid in the range, using the same triple-butted 6061 X7 Aluminium frame and C7 Carbon fork as the 8.8, but offering upgraded gearing, brakes, saddle and tyres.If high speeds both up and downhill are your priority, the HYB 8.9 is the bike to pick. That isn’t to say comfort and practicality have been sacrificed though. Shimano’s Deore 12 speed mountain bike gears utilise a colossal range 10-51 tooth cassette, adapted for hybrid use with a 44 tooth FSA Gossamer 1X chainset. This combination offers ratios for both spinning up steep hills, and a big top gear for high speed cruising and descending, without significant gaps in between. These ratios give the same range as a 50/34t road compact chainset with an 11-32 cassette but without the complexity of a front derailleur. Simply shift the rear mech up and down to make things easier or harder.Shimano also takes care of braking, with their MT400 hydraulic disc brakes. These offer phenomenal stopping power and control in all conditions. 35mm Schwalbe Marathon Racer tyres provide low rolling resistance with high puncture protection and grip, perfect for rough roads or dry towpaths and bridleways.At the front of the bike is our 1-piece HYB integrated handlebar and stem, offering a gentle backsweep and rise to put your wrists in a neutral position, with adjustable ergonomic grips to keep hands happy too.

The Boardman MHT range is designed to blur the boundaries between cross-country and trail riding, offering confidence-inspiring handling and control when the trail heads downhill, but without compromising speed and fun-factor on mellower routes.Whether you’re planning to blast around a trail centre or cover big distances on an epic day out in the countryside, the geometry and design of the lightweight alloy frames of the MHT range have got it covered. Slacker head angles and longer reach compared to a traditional cross country bike, combined with 120mm air-sprung forks deliver great stability and traction. Light and efficient smooth-weld alloy frames with wide-range 1X drivetrains across the range mean climbing isn’t a chore either.MHT 8.9The MHT 8.9 is our top of the line hardtail with carefully chosen specification to give maximum control, speed and fun on the trails. A lightweight 6061 T6 aluminium frame is at the core of the bike, with SRAM’s 12-speed SX Eagle drivetrain giving a huge spread of gears to cover steep ups and downs. SRAM also cover braking duties with their powerful Level T hydraulic disc brakes.A 120mm air sprung RockShox Reba fork is supple and well-damped, keeping your bars level and your front tyre pressed into the ground over rough trails. 29x2.25” Vittoria Barzo TLR tyres are an aggressive cross country tread with an advanced, Graphene 2.0 infused compound that rolls fast and grips well, and are tubeless-ready, offering a simple upgrade route to ditch tubes forever (tubeless conversion kit required separately).Key Features:Lightweight 6061 aluminium frame with Boost spacing and 12mm thru-axle,SRAM SX Eagle 12 speed drivetrain with a wide range 11-50t cassette,SRAM Level T hydraulic disc brakes,RockShox Reba RL 120mm Boost thru-axle fork,Vittoria Barzo TLR Graphene 2.0 tubeless-ready tyres.
The original SLR 8.9 Carbon was our most popular carbon road bike, and for good reason. We think the light, stiff and comfortable carbon frame designed with aerodynamic tube profiles and features is a perfect platform for all-round road riding, and the reviewers agreed with us. For most bike brands, 4.5 out of 5 reviews and comments like “Blimey, what a corker!” (road.cc) would be a reason to kick back and celebrate a job well done. However, at Boardman, we are always looking for ways we can push our bikes to the next level, and this is what we have done for the new SLR 8.9 women's carbon.One of the only criticisms we could level at the old bike was the 10 speed gears – functional, but a little heavy and unrefined. With that in mind, we’ve upgraded the shifting to Shimano’s 11 speed R7000 105. Offering smooth gear changes, reduced weight, ergonomic design and all the trickle-down technology from Shimano’s flagship Dura-Ace groupset, 105 is a fantastic performer.Not only have we upgraded the bike’s gearing – but we’ve also worked with expert bike fitters to ensure the touchpoints on the bike are going to suit riders even better than before.Frameset:The new SLR 8.9 Carbon frame and fork use the same aerodynamic design and geometry as the top of the range SLR 9.6 and so delivers outstanding performance. The dropped seat stays and an integrated seat clamp help reduce drag and combine with carefully designed carbon fibre layup to deliver all day long comfort. This isn’t achieved at the expense of speed though. Using CFD and wind tunnel testing, our tube profiles deliver a significant aero boost compared to previous frames, and a stiff bottom bracket and light overall weight mean that the bike responds instantly when you put the power down. With clearance for up to 28mm tyres and hidden mudguard mounts, the SLR 8.9 Carbon can turn its hand to any type of road riding, whatever the weather.Contact Points:Working with Chris Boardman, data from hundreds of bike fits and insight from bike fit experts, we have made simple changes to the contact points of the SLR range. Using advanced pressure mapping and real-world testing we’ve shown that the Boardman SLR saddle will provide long-ride comfort for the majority of people. Bar width and crank length are also reduced vs previous bikes to make sure they are suited to the fit needs of real cyclists, not just based on old traditions. These changes also reduce the rider’s frontal area, which has been wind tunnel tested to reduce drag, meaning less effort required for the same speed.Key Features: Shimano 105 11 speed shifters and derailleurs ensure crisp and easy gear changes, A compact 50/34 chainset with 11-30 cassette offers a wide spread of gears for climbing and descending, Vittoria Zaffiro Pro Graphene 2.0 tyres combine great grip with puncture protection and low rolling resistance, Boardman SLR Wheels are tubeless-ready, so can be easily upgraded to run without tubes, Tektro R315 long drop brakes give clearance for up to 28mm tyres, or to run mudguards with 25mm.

The ADV 8.9 might just be the best value for money bike we have ever made, given that it’s essentially 2 bikes for the price of 1. It’s equally at home exploring hidden bridleways and fire roads as it is clocking up miles on potholed commutes or long sportives.A triple-butted 6061 aluminium frame with hidden welds, and a full carbon fork with tapered steerer, with thru-axles at both ends, make up the heart of the bike. Blending comfort and control without compromising efficiency or sacrificing precise handling – this is an ideal platform to build the perfect all-road bike around.The ADV takes inspiration from the MTB world with its geometry – trail bikes have become more capable as top tubes have got longer and slacker, and this is passed onto the ADV. We’ve kept the top tubes long and slackened the head angle versus our road bikes, which gives a confidence-inspiring ride on loose surfaces, but without compromising body position for road riding. A slightly taller front end and a shortened stem keep the bars close to hand and sharpen up steering response.Shimano’s 2x10 speed GRX adventure bike groupset has a wide range of gears with a 48-32 FSA chainset and 11-36 cassette, perfect for steep climbs. The GRX hydraulic brake levers are designed to offer better power braking from the tops and are fitted to a flared handlebar that is wider at the bottom than the top, giving great control when you’re descending on the drops. With 38mm Schwalbe G-One tubeless-ready tyres, there’s plenty of fast-rolling grip available too.Completing the package are mounts for full-length mudguards and a pannier rack, adding the versatility for commuting, touring or winter road riding on top of the off-road smiles the ADV 8.9 delivers.Light but strong aluminium frame and tapered carbon fork give great comfort and control on and off-road,10 Speed Shimano GRX groupset is designed specifically for adventure riding with wide gear range and a “clutch” rear mech to limit chain slap,Powerful Shimano Hydraulic disc brakes ensure maximum control in all conditions,Schwalbe G-One All Round 38mm tyres combine off-road grip, low rolling resistance and added comfort – perfect for exploring anywhere,Boardman ADV wheels and Schwalbe tyres are tubeless-ready – easy to upgrade to run without tubes,Mudguard and pannier rack mounts offer additional flexibility.
The 2021 Boardman MTR range of bikes are designed to be the perfect machines for all-round UK trail riding. Our brand new 29er platform with 145mm travel and trail-ready geometry is paired with 140 or 150mm forks and can take on rough and technical trails without being a burden on flatter, flowy sections. Longer reach figures, a slackened 66-degree head angle and custom-tuned, long-stroke RockShox shocks deliver composed handling and supple yet supportive suspension action whilst maintaining agility and pedalling efficiency.The MTR 8.8 Women's is the perfect bike for riders looking to get more serious with their trail riding. With a planted geometry, RockShox suspension and reliable Shimano drivetrain and brakes, it’s absolutely up to the task. Did we mention it also comes with a dropper post and tubeless Maxxis rubber too?Using the same trail-ready geometry as the rest of the range, the MTR 8.8 gives a confidence-inspiring ride as things get rough or steep. With a long reach to the bars increasing stability and well-balanced weight distribution, you’ll have the confidence to challenge your limits. A RockShox Recon Silver RL fork offers 150mm of well-controlled travel and has an adjustable air spring, rebound damping and lockout. The RockShox Deluxe Select+ rear shock also delivers a supportive 145mm of travel and features a lockout too.Shimano M5100 series Deore gearing is 11 speed, and with an 11-51t cassette, provides a huge spread of gears for spinning up climbs and blasting downhills too. Shimano MT200 brakes help to keep speed in check as the trail heads downwards.A wide 780mm bar and short 45mm stem combine with a Satori Sorata Pro dropper post, allowing you to steer precisely and move your weight around over the bike to fully exploit the grip on offer from the tubeless-ready Maxxis Minion DHF and DHRII tyre combination.Key Features:New 29er platform with 145/150mm travel and UK trail focussed geometry,RockShox Recon Silver RL fork and Deluxe Select+ shock deliver controlled and tuneable suspension performance,Shimano MT200 brakes and Deore 1x11 drivetrain handle stopping and going efficiently,Maxxis Minion DHF & DHRII tyres on wide Boardman rims grip without folding in the corners,Satori Sorata Pro dropper post allows maximum body movement on the bike.
The SLR 8.9 Disc brings the fantastic ride quality and aerodynamic performance of the SLR 9 Series bikes down to an even more affordable price point. Using the same geometry and frame profiles as the SLR 9 Series, but with our C7 carbon fibre, the SLR 8.9 Disc is a fast and comfortable all-rounder, with Shimano’s excellent 105 hydraulic groupset.At the heart of the bike is a light and efficient C7 carbon frame with tube profiles developed in CFD and the Wind Tunnel to keep aerodynamic drag to the minimum. This means going faster for the same effort, what’s not to like? We haven’t forgotten about comfort too, it’s an important part of enjoying the ride, and a comfortable rider is a faster one. Dropped seat stays and a slim-bladed carbon fork help absorb bumps and road buzz, but a tapered head tube and fork steerer keep handling sharp and precise.Shimano’s R7020 105 Hydraulic groupset delivers smooth and quiet gear shifting, with an excellent range of gears courtesy of the 50-34t compact 105 chainset and 11-30t cassette. This is enough range for super-steep climbs and fast descents alike. This is where the hydraulic disc brakes come into their own, with much greater braking power and control vs a rim braked bike. Tyres are also vitally important for control, and 28mm Vittoria Rubino Pro tyres with Graphene 2.0 compound offer great grip and puncture resistance while rolling quickly too.CONTACT POINTS:Working with Chris Boardman, data from hundreds of bike fits and insight from bike fit experts, we have made simple changes to the contact points of the SLR range.

The MTR 8.9 offers a beautifully balanced specification, using the same frame geometry and rear suspension set up as the 9.0, but with our X7 triple butted alloy. Aggressive trail riding places big demands on your equipment, and the high-performing kit on the MTR 8.9 is more than up to the task.SRAM provide their NX Eagle drivetrain, which combines a 12 speed 11-50t cassette with a 32T chainring to give plenty of range to tame steep climbs and pedal hard down the other side. Powerful 4 Piston SRAM Guide T brakes with 180mm rotors will keep your speed under control when you need it too.Soaking up bumps and keeping wheels planted on the floor is taken care of with RockShox’s Gold 35 fork, and Deluxe Select+ shock in a custom tune.

The SLR range is the perfect all-around road platform. They feature a lightweight frame design and carbon lay up which offers a fantastic blend of power transfer and comfort and has been aero-optimised to deliver race-winning speed. This is combined with a geometry that encourages long days of exploration without sitting up tall in the wind.The SLR 9.4 adds SRAM's new Rival eTap AXS 12 speed wireless shifting to our high-modulus C10 Carbon frameset, bringing outstanding shifting performance to a new, lower price point.FRAMESET:In most situations, aerodynamic drag limits a rider’s speed rather than fighting gravity. The SLR frameset is optimised for aerodynamic performance without adding weight or compromising the ride quality. Our wind-tunnel proven tube profiles minimise the separation of airflow, resulting in lower aerodynamic drag.The SLR’s geometry strikes a balance between a long and low race position and an upright, endurance set up. The frame itself has been designed with comfort in mind; thin, dropped seat stays and a slim-legged fork absorb road imperfections without compromising on the lateral stiffness required to corner quickly and confidently.The SLR focuses on efficiency. Using our C10 carbon fibre blend, high-modulus fibres are used in key areas to increase the strength to weight ratio. Deep, box-section chainstays, an oversized bottom bracket and dropped seat stays combine in a compact, stiff rear triangle, maximising power transfer.With 28mm tyres and hidden mudguard mounts, the SLR 9 Series bikes are also practical for year-round riding too.COMPONENTS:SRAM's new Rival eTap AXS is the star of the show on the SLR 9.4. Using the same wireless shifting technology and 12 speeds as their pro-level Red groupset, gear changes are precise and consistent, all at the push of a button. With no shift cables to worry about, there's minimal maintenance to do, meaning shifting stays perfect all year round.Gear ratios are different to traditional road bikes because of the huge range offered by the 10-30t cassette. The 10t cog with smaller 46/33t chainrings gives a larger top gear and smaller bottom gear vs a compact 50/34t chainset. All this range comes with smaller jumps between gears too because of the extra 12th gear. With powerful hydraulic disc brakes with 160mm front and 140mm rear rotors, stopping is easy in all weather conditions too.Battery life is around 60 hours of riding, and recharge time is only an hour. If you do forget to charge up, you can swap the batteries between the front and rear derailleurs to get you back home easily.Wheels and tyres make a huge difference to how a bike feels to ride, and Alexrims RXD3 wheels with Vittoria Rubino Pro 28mm tyres are another highlight on the 9.4. The wheels use 30mm deep rims with 19mm internal width to support the Graphene 2.0 infused tyres, offering a great blend of low weight, fast acceleration, grip and aerodynamic performance. The wheels weigh only 1550g and are tubeless-ready if you want to upgrade down the line.CONTACT POINTS:Working with Chris Boardman, data from hundreds of bike fits and insight from bike fit experts, we have made simple changes to the contact points of the SLR range.

With a range of up to 56 miles* on the “Breeze Mode” setting, long rides are efficiently dealt with.Using a sophisticated combination of Torque, Speed and Cadence sensors, the Fazua system closely monitors your pedalling and feeds in power smoothly when you need it, stopping instantly when you stop pedalling. You’re always in complete control. There are 3 levels of assistance to choose from using the intuitive handlebar remote control, which also shows battery charge levels.Weighing in at just 4.6Kg for the whole system, the Fazua Evation system keeps the Boardman HYB-E and ADV-E e-bikes lightweight and practical to live with. The battery and motor can also be removed and replaced with a lightweight cover (sold separately), meaning you can ride your e-bike just like a normal bike with barely any weight penalty and no extra drivetrain resistance if you decide you don’t need any assistance.Fazua AppBy using the FAZUA app which is compatible with all Boardman eBikes, you can get access to all of the below that will assist your journey and will help you learn more about your training and your bike.The app includes the following features and is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store:GPS navigation and tracking,Speedometer,Technical overview, state of the battery,Support, direct access to Fazua Service,Interact, share your rides with friends,Summary, analyse the collected data after your ride in detail.
The SLR range are perfect all-round road bikes. They feature a lightweight frame design and carbon lay up which offers a fantastic blend of power transfer and comfort and has been aero-optimised to deliver race winning speed. This is combined with a geometry which encourages long days exploring without sitting up tall in the wind. The SLR 9.6 is visually stunning, with the looks to keep up with its rapid performance.Frameset:In most situations, aerodynamic drag limits a rider’s speed rather than fighting gravity. The SLR frameset is optimised for aerodynamic performance without adding weight or compromising the ride quality. Our wind-tunnel proven tube profiles minimise separation of airflow, resulting in lower aerodynamic drag.The SLR’s geometry strikes a balance between a long and low race position and an upright, endurance set up. The frame itself has been designed with comfort in mind to. Thin, dropped seat stays and a slim legged fork absorb road imperfections without compromising on the lateral stiffness required to corner quickly and confidently.The SLR focusses on efficiency. Using our C10 carbon fibre blend, high-modulus fibres are used in key areas to increase the strength to weight ratio. Deep, box-section chainstays, an oversized bottom bracket and dropped seat stays combine in a compact, stiff rear triangle, maximising power transfer.With 28mm tyres and hidden mudguard mounts, the SLR 9 Series bikes are also practical for year-round riding too.SpecificationsThe SLR 9.6 uses Shimano’s latest 12 speed R8100 series Ultegra Di2 groupset. Perfect shifts even under load combine with powerful and easily controlled braking to give a truly premium ride experience. A 50/34t compact chainset combined with a 11-30t cassette offers a broad range of gears to cover off steep climbing, flat land sprinting and fast descending. The shifters communicate wirelessly with the derailleurs for a clean, uncluttered cockpit.Wheels and tyres make a huge difference to how a bike feels to ride, and the 9.6 sees a significant aerodynamic upgrade from the 9.4. Alexrims ALX845D wheelset feature a 45mm deep carbon fibre rim with a blunt, U-shaped profile, delivering low drag and excellent crosswind stability. Tyres are Vittoria’s pro-level Corsa Graphene 2.0 in 28mm width with outstandingly low rolling resistance and excellent cornering grip.CONTACT POINTS:Working with Chris Boardman, data from hundreds of bike fits and insight from bike fit experts, we have made simple changes to the contact points of the SLR range. Using advanced pressure mapping and real-world testing we’ve shown that the Boardman SLR saddle will provide long-ride comfort for the majority of people. Bar width and crank length are also reduced vs previous bikes to make sure they are suited to the fit needs of real cyclists, not just based on old traditions. These changes also reduce the rider’s frontal area, which has been wind tunnel tested to reduce drag, meaning less effort required for the same speed.HIGHLIGHTS:12 Speed Shimano Ultegra Di2 groupset,Compact 50/34 chainset with 11-30 cassette,28mm Vittoria Corsa Graphene 2.0 tyres,Alexrims ALX845D 45mm deep section carbon wheels,Hidden mudguard mounts make the SLR 9.6 usable all year round.
