This hardtail mountain bike comes with ride-softening Countervail technology

Agile, responsive and eyecatching ultralight frame but handling and parts undermine confidence on even slightly testing trails. Buy if you want a hyperactive mountain bike with maximum acceleration for tamer trails
Light, responsive and smooth-riding chassis
Steep angles, narrow bar and sketchy tyres reduce confidence

It's stiff, comfortable and light build was appreciated on the climbs and descents of Franciocorta

A couple of days ago we started our test of the brand new Shimano XTR Di2, built on a Bianchi Methanol SL 27.1. The drivetrain is a 2×11. As you can see from the photos the right shifter takes care of the whole shifting process: both front and rear derailleur are managed electronically, we don’t have a left shifter for manually shifting between the chainrings. Even the fork lockout is electronic. Stay tuned for the full review and use this article to ask us whatever you want, we will answer your questions in the next article.

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!
