Welcome to the first video from HardcoreHardtails.co.uk Limited.
I believe that a Hardcore Hardtail Mountain Bike is the proverbial Quiver Killer. The one bike that does it all! Efficient pedaling and power transfer thanks to being a hard-tail. Room for large volume tires to increase grip and take the sting out of rough and undulating terrain, and a long, low, slack geometry for nailing the gnarliest of descents!
I love them so much i even decided to start up my own business focused on Hardcore Hardtails and everything that goes with them.
I believe that it is more important than ever to champion UK businesses and support skill, ingenuity, dedication and passion. So far i have identified over 70 different UK brands that are involved with Mountain Biking in general or Hardcore Hardtails specifically, meaning that Britain is literally crammed full of great manufacturers, artisans and creative geniuses that have created some of the best products in the world.
HardcoreHardtails.co.uk's goal is to make it easier for people who love mountain biking and Hardcore Hardtails in particular to find the products and services they want quickly and easily and for for as many of those products as possible to be made right here in the UK.
With this goal in mind I've tried to use as many British products as possible in this build.
