A race-ready carbon hardtail for serious cross-country racers who want wireless Shimano XT Di2 shifting and full-carbon wheels in a genuinely lightweight package.
Overview
The Big.Nine XT is built for riders who demand serious speed and precision on demanding cross-country tracks, pairing a lightweight CF3 carbon frame with full-carbon FSA wheels and an integrated carbon cockpit.
The new Shimano XT Di2 wireless groupset delivers rapid-fire electronic shifting with none of the cable maintenance of a mechanical drivetrain, Shimano XT hydraulic disc brakes bring race-grade stopping power, and fast-rolling 2.4" tyres keep traction high without piling on weight.
It's built for serious XC racers and trail enthusiasts who want a genuinely lightweight, high-performance bike capable of tackling both competitive tracks and adventurous off-road rides with real speed.
Why You'll Like It
Wireless Shimano XT Di2 shifting
Electronic, cable-free shifting delivers seamless, rapid-fire gear changes in any racing or trail scenario.
A genuinely lightweight carbon build
The CF3 carbon frame, full-carbon FSA wheels and carbon cockpit combine for a build that's built to race.
Full-carbon race wheels
FSA SCi30 carbon wheels shed weight and improve race efficiency over an aluminium wheelset.
Wide tyre clearance for a race bike
Room for tyres up to 2.4" means more traction on technical tracks without the usual race-hardtail compromise.
Race-grade Shimano XT brakes
Shimano XT 2-piston hydraulic brakes bring confident, consistent stopping power at race pace.
Who Is It For?
The Big.Nine XT suits a serious cross-country racer or trail enthusiast who wants a genuinely lightweight, high-performance bike for competitive tracks or adventurous off-road rides.
For Indian riders training and racing at a competitive level, the wireless Di2 shifting and full-carbon build deliver a real edge in both weight and shifting precision over a mechanical mid-tier build.
Good to Know
- Keep the Di2 battery charged ahead of race day or long rides — wireless shifting depends on it.
- The wheels come with tubeless tape already installed, so going tubeless is a straightforward setup.
- A quick post-ride wipe-down of the drivetrain and brake rotors keeps everything running at its best between services.
