Ragley Troof 18" Hardtail MTB Frame

Finished in Chip Shop Curry Colour

New super-hardcore alloy hardball for 2011. Downhill slack and taking 160mm forks, but trail ready and with a seating position that lets you get back to the top.  Ragley have not rested in their quest to make the best hardball frames on the market. Revised and overhauled for 2011, featuring new manufacturing techniques, new features but the same inspiring slack head angle, steep seat angle geometry, these are the ultimate hardball hardtail trail bike frames.

Tubeset:
We use high strength 7046 alloy which is typically used in weight saving XC frames - we just use a bit more of it, to make a frame that's ridiculously strong, but not heavy. Alloy frame alloy different tubing configurations, so we added a dropped top tube with seat tube brace, and true 1.5in headset. Direct and solid, this is a stunningly precise trail weapon befitting of big tyres and a long fork.

The seat tube allows the use of a 30.9mm post – so it’s compatible with the “dropper” models that are out there.

Geometry:
Designed to have a slack 67deg head angle at ride height, coupled with a long top tube, these frames are designed to run a short stem (between 40 and 60mm) to give fine control but amazing stability, with the handling that will work at high and low speeds, through rock gardens and drops. A seat angle that puts the rider central on the bike, whatever their size, and a chainstay length that balances tyre clearance, traction and hill climbing ability. Oh, and if you measure the other way - using "static" settings, that head angle sits at 64.9deg.

Frame Details:
• DMR licenced "SWOPOUT DROPOUTS" allow you to run QR (standard) or fit MAXLE specific rear dropouts for the ultimate rear wheel security.
• "Three Finger" chainstay bridge is exclusive to Ragley, made from a single CNC'd alloy machining. Allows massive tyre clearance so you can fit 2.5in rubber with massive chainring and tyre clearance. Happy with 36t middle rings and gives resilience to any attempted chainsuck/derailment. Bridgeless design gives better mud clearance.
• Bridgeless seatstays give awesome ride and huge mud clearance.
• Chainstay mounted disc brake calliper means lighter gauge seatstays can be used to promote sublime ride quality, give a stiffer mounting for the rear brake, and a neater mounting location.
• Rear slotted seat tube provides proven extra durability over extended front slotted models.
• Bolt on cable guides give multiple options for cable routing and replaceability. 
• ISCG tabs added for 2011.
• Powdercoated (not cheaper, weaker "wet paint") for durability.
