A hardtail 29er can be a frightful beast. Just look around the start line of any marathon, stage or cross country race and the pointy end is littered with hard tailed big wheel rides. They are built unashamedly for speed. Ride hard, ride fast and hang on. So where does the Methanol 29 SL fit …
Sweet looking and solid frame. Option to fit 31.6mm seat post. Titanium weave embedded into the down tube to dull impact damage.
The Magura fork’s quirky sounds are distracting and don’t inspire confidence. Ritchey seat mast topper initially failed to torque. Torx 20 bidon bolts, who has a Torx 20 key!

A great cross-country racer’s choice, but needs a bit more comfort and control for more casual riders
