Product Description
The Bergamont Contrail 8 is a superbly reliable and capable full suspension mountain bike, the perfect riding partner for mountain exploration and fun on the trails. Featuring top suspension sensitivity with a Marzocchi Bomber fork and Manitou McLeod shock, you can glide over tricky obstacles with ease and make light work of tricky trails and technical rocky patches. Fast rolling 29 inch wheels shod with tubeless ready Maxxis Forekaster tyres allow you to make a quick and easy tubeless conversion to lower your rolling resistance and reduce the risk of picking up a puncture, as well as increasing your grip on the trail. If the more nimble and playful feel of a 27.5 inch wheel takes your fancy, simply change the flip chip at the rear shock and your bike is ready to accept a 27.5 inch wheel. The Shimano Deore XT 12 speed drivetrain provides slick and smooth shifting over a massive range of gears, so no matter how steep the climb you can always pedal to the top ready to shred back down your favourite run. Shimano hydraulic disc brakes provide superb stopping power and modulation in all weather conditions so you can always scrub off speed when you need to. If you need a little extra hand to nail a tricky ledge drop or steep descent, the Syncros Duncan dropper post lets you get your weight back and tackle the tough lines with speed and control.
