Description

The BIG.TRAIL 500 delivers confidence-inspiring handling that encourages you to push further in your quest for true trail connection. Featuring our premium aluminium frame paired with rugged 29er tires, a 140mm travel fork, and a long-travel dropper post, it enhances confidence and capability on every ride.

The BIG.TRAIL returns better than ever! Celebrated by the international mountain bike press as one of the finest trail hardtails, we've refined it for faster performance—uphill, downhill, and everywhere in between—for even more fun. Updated with progressive geometry, the new BIG.TRAIL builds on its successful heritage with a slack head angle and extended reach that conquer the toughest trails, while a steeper seat angle makes climbing a breeze.

Enhanced aesthetics and improved frame protection ensure lasting appeal. Join the BIG.TRAIL family for hassle-free trail enjoyment.
