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.
Smooth and stable chassis for rough terrain
Progressive geometry and modern look
High-end build kit with excellent fork and rubber combination
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
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'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.

A smoother operator than the name suggests, this Pig brings big capability for a decent price
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
Not quite as snappy as some hardtails, with the longer-travel fork in place
