With an alloy frame, modern geometry, 29" wheels and modern components, the Ragley Big AL 2.0 is a versatile, playful and stylish hardtail mountain bike. Ideal for bike park riding, all-mountain epics, fast singletrack routes and long-distance adventures, the Big Al 2.0 is ready for anything. It rolls upon custom wheels comprising of Nukeproof Neutron Boost hubs, 29" WTB ST i30 Tubeless Ready rims and Maxxis Minion tyres. Plus, it's equipped with RockShox Recon suspension forks, a Shimano Deore 10-Speed groupset with a wide-ranging 11-46T cassette and hydraulic disc brakes.

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.

Alloy Frame, Boost Hub Spacing and Internal Dropper Post Cable Routing

Sharing the custom-butted 6061 alloy tubing, the Big Al balances a stiff frame with enough compliance for the longest days in the saddle. ISCG 05 chain guide tabs, a 44/56mm tapered head tube, internal dropper seat post compatibility and 148x12mm boost rear end all keeping things bang up to date.

Shimano Deore 10-Speed Groupset and RockShox Suspension Forks

Components are chosen for performance and reliability. A Shimano groupset and brakes, 140mm RockShox fork, tubeless-ready wheels and the range-topping 3C EXO+ Maxxis tyres.

As with all Ragley hardtails, the joy really is in the geometry: 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…
