The Big AL is a versatile, playful and fun 29"-wheeled hardtail trail riding bike with a strong and lightweight alloy frame with superb components to match. With modern geometry for an agile, stable and comfortable performance anywhere on the mountainside, this bike is also equipped with 140mm travel Marzocchi Bomber Z2 suspension forks and a Shimano Deore 1x11-Speed groupset. Plus, this groupset includes a wide-ranging 11-Speed cassette and Deore hydraulic disc brakes. Also, it rolls fast and stable upon Nukeproof Neutron Boost hubs, WTB ST i30 Tubeless Ready rims and Maxxis Minion tyres. And it's armed with a Brand-X Ascend internally routed dropper seatpost.

The Big Al is the 29” counterpart to the Marley; designed as a fun all-rounder with the same performance and value that made its smaller-wheeled sibling a multiple test winner.

Shimano Deore 11-Speed Groupset and Brand-X Dropper Seatpost

The Big Al 1.0 takes all that’s great about the 2.0 but upgrades the spec: The addition of the group test winning Brand-X Ascend dropper plus the upgraded 11-speed Deore groupset and M6100 brakes.

Marzocchi Z2 Rail 140mm Travel Suspension Forks

Keeping things lively at the business end; a Marzocchi Z2 Rail provides additional stiffness with 140mm of exceptional damping to keep the front wheel digging into the dirt.

A perfect balance between all-out gravity-led tomfoolery and practical pedalability. Just like the Marley, the Big Al is well mannered during a leisurely all-day ride but drop the saddle and send it down the rough stuff for the good times…

Everything you could want from an all-round hardtail; get wild straight out of the box.
