Ignite is our very lightweight 29er hardtail designed for XC competition. If you’re looking to improve your speed and handling skills, the Ignite is your answer. Excellent power transfer due to its built-in stiffness. Its tapered head tube increases front end stiffness for optimal steering and control. Thru-axles add to its stiffness, as does its integrated postmount disc brakes.
To build in comfort, we’ve worked meticulously on our tubing design as well as our materials layup to create the ultimate hardtail that cruises at high speeds over the most arduous terrain. Internal cable routing keeps the cables clean, while giving the bike that tidy look.
Compatible with both mechanical and electronic shifting.
The Ignite A hardtail MTB effortlessly turns singletracks into your own personal playground. As part of the Hydro Series, the frame is made of high quality 6061 triple-butted, hydroformed, double-pass flat welded aluminium that we shape and weld with care and sustainability. The tube walls are thinner in the center and become slightly thicker towards the ends. All these special techniques come together to create an incredibly balanced, lightweight yet stiff frame.
In addition, this MTB has a boosted rear axle and an updated race geometry. When combining all these features with many others carried over from Ridley's years of expertise, you get an Ignite A that delivers a very responsive, stable, confidently playful cycling experience.
