Boardman MHT 8.9 2020 review

Jun 2020

Boardman's MHT 8.9 offers a lot of bike for the money in a good looking package that'll appeal to cross-country riders and others who value speed and efficiency over getting rad. More play-focused riders are likely to find the tyres a touch sketchy and the shape a bit short and steep, however.

Boardman MHT 8.9 review

Sep 2018 · Guy Kesteven

Blisteringly fast, efficiently light and practical ride that can still rip up the trails. Buy if you've £1,000 to spend and want an excellent hardtail for your budget

Highs
  • Practical yet high-performance frame

  • Really well chosen fast-trail build kit at a crazily good price

Lows
  • Bar shape won’t suit everyone

  • Reach could be slightly longer
