Nothing beats the efficiency and simplicity of a 29er hardtail. Great for XC racing, marathons, 24-hour racing, or simply shredding singletrack.

Trek designer Gary Fisher helped start our beloved sport on a single-speed some 30 years ago. Trek's Rig is the natural extension of that bike, with an Alpha Gold aluminum frame boasting Gary's G2 geometry plus a 100mm-travel Fox fork. You also get a fine selection of components. For speed and flow, the Truvativ cranks and Easton bars let you power the smooth-rolling Bontrager 29er wheels up and over steep undulations in the trail. And to slow the Rig down, there are powerful Avid discs plus Bontrager tires keeping you in control. You'll also love the sweet Bontrager seat and post. To buy visit.
