Introduction

The MTR has evolved to meet the demands of modern trail riders and the increasingly progressive UK trails. Developed to be the ideal "downcountry" aggressive trail bike, the MTR series now features 130mm of front and rear travel with a 65.5° head angle and a 77.5° seat angle.

These design changes mean that whichever way you point it, up or down, and whatever you point it at, the MTR is a more than capable companion.

Frame & Fork

As with the rest of the updated MTR range, the 8.8 benefits from a longer top tube and slacker head angle than its predecessor. These changes improve handling and stability, keeping you in charge as you push the limits. The steeper seat angle also keeps your weight centralised in the bike during steep climbs, improving pedalling efficiency and traction on more demanding terrain. Internal cable routing keeps things looking clean, and a UDH hanger as a standard reduces concerns about replacements if the bike takes a slam.

A RockShox Recon Silver RL fork delivers 130mm of travel that is smooth and air-tuneable. The fork also features a crown-mounted Lockout, which provides a simple, clutter-free way to lock the forks out during prolonged fire road climbs.

A custom-tuned RockShox Deluxe Select R+ is paired with the Recon fork. When combined with the MTR's progressive suspension curve, the bike delivers incredible grip and support through large compressions and drops.

 
 

Groupset

Shimano CUES is a new addition to Shimano's componentry range and a direct result of riders asking for a durable, yet affordable groupset that delivers outstanding performance across multiple riding styles.

The Shimano CUES 11-speed groupset features a wide 11-50-tooth cassette with LINKGLIDE technology, which sets a new standard for smooth and reliable shifting. Whether attacking the trails, on an all-day epic, or out for a fast XC blast, the 11-speed CUES setup will keep your ride seamless.

Wheels & Tyres

A front Maxxis Forekaster paired with a rear Rekon is the perfect "fit and forget" choice for the 8.8, chosen with UK conditions in mind. Designed specifically for the demands of modern shorter-travel trail bikes, they feature versatile tread patterns that roll fast on firm trail centre surfaces but provide enough grip when the local forest becomes boggy in winter.

Wide, tubeless-compatible rims support the Maxxis tyres, and sealed cartridge bearing hubs keep them rolling through the unpredictable British weather.

 
 

Finishing Kit

A wide, supportive Boardman MTB saddle provides a solid platform for seated pedalling, whilst a textured surface allows you to reposition your weight as the trail demands.

Up front, a strong, reliable 6061 alloy bar and short 45mm alloy stem, with Boardman lock-on grips, help ensure the bike goes in the direction you point it.

Aftercare

When you purchase a bike from Halfords, our support continues beyond the sale. We offer optional CycleCare plans for either 1 or 3 years, ensuring your bike remains in top condition with regular maintenance and expert care.
