Summary

The Ragley Blue Pig is a standout in the enduro hardtail category, praised for its smooth and stable chassis, progressive geometry, and high-end build kit. While it excels in rough terrain with its capable suspension and handling, some reviews note a harsh ride quality and the need for a larger rear tyre. Comparisons often highlight its value and performance against other hardcore hardtails like the Canyon Stoic and Ragley Big Wig.

Pros
  • Smooth and stable chassis for rough terrain

  • Progressive geometry and modern look

  • High-end build kit with excellent fork and rubber combination

Cons
  • Harsh ride quality with the 4130 steel frame

  • Needs a 2.6in rear tyre for optimal performance

  • Seat angle could be steeper for easier front weighting on climbs

Key Quotes
A smoother operator than the name suggests, this Pig brings big capability for a decent price

If steel’s lauded compliance isn’t present here, you have to ask what sense it makes to use the heavier material when it offers a similar feel to aluminium?

Ragley's all-new Blue Pig Race might cost as much as a well-sorted full sus trail bike, but if you prefer hardtail thrashing thrills then it's one of the best.

Ragley Blue Pig (2019) review

Sep 2019 · Mick Kirkman

A smoother operator than the name suggests, this Pig brings big capability for a decent price

Highs
  • Smooth and stable chassis keeps things calm when you get rowdy

  • The frame doesn’t need expensive tubing for a quality feel, and sells for £550 on its own

  • Complicated seatstay profile irons out bump forces transmitted up through the back wheel

Lows
  • Not quite as snappy as some hardtails, with the longer-travel fork in place
