  • Can anyone reccommend me a rigid hardtail mountainbike for someone who wants to get into some dirt-road touring and bikepacking around Denmark and Sweden?

    Priorities:

    • Fully rigid
    • Available in small sizes (fit for a 5,4 person)
    • Preferably 27,5 ich/650b wheels
    • Eyelets and mounts for racks
    • Disc Brakes
    • Somewhat affordable

    I have looked at the Sonder Frontier as an option, but I am unsure if the boost hub spacing is going to be a pain further down the road. Apart from that it ticks a lot of boxes, at a bearable price.

    Cheers :)

  • Wouldn't worry about Boost, it's a standard that's not going anywhere. Not sure how well NX1 stands up compared to better 11/12 speed groupsets or reliable 10sp.

    Other options include the Marin Pine Mountain and Genesis Tarn or Longitude.
