Claud Butler Alpina 1.0 29 hardtail MTB

The claud butler alpina range has been completely overhauled for 2024, with two models, a new frame, modern trail riding geometry and the latest in Shimano cues our vision for the alpina was to create a bike that thrives exploring uk trails. The claud butler alpina 1.0 is our introductory model to the all-new alpina range designed to help you cover anything from the many miles of canal towpath right through to the thrill of off-road trail riding. Using shimanos latest cues series drivetrain components, the 2x9 drivetrain offers all the gears you could need with a 22/36t chainset and 11-36t cassette. We have also stayed with Shimano for the brakes, using their ever-reliable mt200 hydraulic disc brakes that offer consistent and reliable stopping power. The alpina was always about developing a mountain bike that could handle the demands of uk trail centres and off-piste wild tracks, and central to that is modern-thinking frame geometry, specifically built around a 100mm fork and 29in wheels. Longer top tubes and slacker head angles combined with super short 45mm stems and ultra-wide 750mm handlebars result in a confidence inspiring ride that feels controlled while you enjoy the thrill of the trail. Adding to this, weve used 29x2.25 wtb ranger tyres that are known for their fast-rolling, good puncture resistance and good grip across a range of trail conditions. All in, the alpina 1.0 is a diverse bike suited to a variety of riding environments and is ready to tackle whatever you can throw at it
