More About The New Boardman MHT 8.6 Womens Mountain Bike

New Shimano Deore 1x Drivetrain

Upgraded from the previous MHT 8.6, the model features the all-new Shimano M4100 Deore 1x10 drivetrain. Thanks to Shimano’s Trickle-Down Technology programme this drivetrain has the feel and look of previous SLX and XT ranges and with its 11-46T cassette it has a wide range of gears which will help tackle all terrains. The clutch on the rear derailleur works in tandem with the narrow-wide chainring to improve chain retention whilst a 2-piece crankset gives great power transfer when pedalling.

27.5” Wheels and updated frame

The Women’s MHT 8.6 keeps the 27.5” wheel size of the previous generation bike. In side-by-side testing we found that the 27.5” wheel was more suited to the geometry and sizing of the women’s bikes and they feel nimble yet planted. The 8.6 features updated geometry, longer and slacker than the previous model this bike is designed to give confidence inspiring stability.
