Aggresive Hardtail Thread!

pesky_jones

As the title says really, post your agressive hardtails!

120mm min travel, single or double drivetrains and strictly front suspension only!

I like the sound of this...

same fork lowers on two different years builds.

Just about scrapes in with the minimum requirements and seeing as it's been Alp'd for the past 3 years, I think hardcore status should be given...

My Evil Sovereign. Slightly different since this photo (taken away the back-plate for the guide once I learned to trust the Works ring), but not by much.

Great thread.

Heres the latest pic I have got (has got a reverb now too). My do it all bike now.

Production Priveé Shan in Gulf 917 colours. Does anyone really care about the specs? Just in case, Revelation 150mm forks, Pacenti TL28 wheels on Tesla hubs. XT groupset. Have since put a KS Lev post on there too. I guess a future upgrade might be one of these trendy thick-thin chainrings and drop the guide.

There's some mighty nice bikes in this thread already. And lots of fun ones.

nicklouse

forgot this one



just squeaks in with 120mm

gt-arrowhead

Balls! I meet all the requirements apart from the travel, im at 100mm. Brucie, that bike is gorgeous!!!

step83

Classed as cheating? 130mm adjustable travel sits at 100mm double chain setup but rides happy at full travel (130mm travel in this photo)

If I was ever to make a change from my C456, I'll seriously think of a a Privee Shan in this colour - love them - and your is very nice.

My carbon 456 with 150mm revs. Love it but still hanker after a cotic soul or Bfe. Thinking of selling and trying the steel frame.

DanDax1990

I feel very underspecced compared to most bikes on here.

Possibly going to change to a Cotic BFe or Stanton Slackline 631 frame with Revelation fork over winter.

Been off the bike 2 months now, Can't wait to ride again!

Keep the AM Hardtail porn coming guys, I wanna see skinny tubes.

angry_bird

I'm very tempted to rebuild this beasty soon(ish), really miss having a stupid big hardtail thing. I only need some forks and drivetrain bits...

Love that colour scheme. Very nice bike.

I've had a few

GT Aggressor. 130mm rockshox toras, 1x9 etc etc


On one 456, Rockshox Pikes, 1x9 again etc


Ragley Bagger - this one was a beast and rode like a dream. Rockshox lyriks, 1x9, pretty pimp. I wouldn't mind having this one back some day.

NS Surge,set up more for XC but easily changes character when required.

yeah I put it up as a whole bike and had no interest at all!

I've split it and sold the wheels, forks and a few other odds and sods but still have the frame, I think i'm going to build it back up as a hack bike with the bits I have lying around. I just need a cheap set of forks

Love that.
I want a soul to replace my Kona
But just can't justify it as a 2nd bike with the amount of riding I do

Not the most aggressive, but...



Ragley Piglet
120mm rockshox recon silver
Stans Arch ex on hope pro 2
Hans dampf tubeless
Slx 180/160
SRAM x7 front, x9 type 2 rear

That Piglet looks pretty tidy! I rather fancy myself one of those, a shorter travel (lighter) hardtail than my old Ragley, but still with aggressive angles, would be pretty sweet.
