Boardman MHT 8.9 review

Aug 2022 · Mick Kirkman

Fast and smooth hardtail with geometry leaning more towards the XC end of the spectrum

Highs

  • Stunning retro looks

  • Smooth chassis

  • Great spec for the price

Lows

  • Could be slacker, longer and lower to increase aggro capability

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.
