To the untrained eye, each of Boardman’s three new hardtails all look pretty similar – yet this is a range that starts at just £649 and tops out at £999. Let’s take a look at each model in a bit more detail below.

NB – if you're reading this outside the UK, availability and pricing for all these models is TBC.
MTB Pro 29er
Just like its popular predecessor, this £999 range-topper is based on a 29er platform but now sports a longer, 120mm fork, namely an RLT spec Rockshox Reba. There’s a 1x11 SRAM GX transmission and SRAM’s Guide four-piston brakes even make an appearance. The Pro rolls on a Mavic XM319 wheelset and gets Mountain King tyres rather than the X-King models found on the lower spec bikes.
The frame of the Pro is lighter than that of the Team model below it, and instead of a quick-release at the back there’s a 142x12mm bolt-thru rear end. This model and the Team feature identical geometry (it’s a degree slacker in the head angle and 10mm longer in the top tube than the current bike).
