2016 Ragley Blue Pig Frame Blue Black

Season:2016

Brand:Ragley

Code:BluePigBlueBlk

Description
The original steel hardcore hardtail just got better! In case you are not familiar with the Ragley range: the Bluepig is the Steel version of the Alloy Mmmbop. First launched back in 2008, the original Bluepig defined what a modern Steel hardtail frame should be: Strong, light and adaptable with confidence inspiring geometry that is huge fun to ride!
 
Building on the success of the original, we wanted the new Blue Pig to keep the soul of the old frame by retaining as many of the original features as possible: It is still made from custom triple butted 4130 Chromoly Steel and features classic Ragley attributes such as:  44mm head tube, 3 Finger Bridge, Taperlite seat tube and chain stay mounted disc brake calliper. To bring the frame right up to date we have added a whole host of new features such as 27.5” wheel compatibility, a stiffer bolt through rear end using exchangeable dropouts which will allow you to run whichever standard you desire (142x12m or QR), better tyre & stand-over clearance and stealth dropper compatibility.
 
Our updated trail geometry has been designed from the ground up for the new 27.5” wheel size: dropping the bottom bracket to an aggressive 305mm. We loved the 425mm chain stay length on the old frame so much that we redesigned the 3 finger bridge to make clearance for the bigger wheels without the need for longer stays. When matched with a 150mm fork and a short stem, the 64˚ head angle (66˚ in the Sag), low BB, bigger wheels and revised geometry result in a long, low and planted feeling bike with improved handling, rollover and grip to really inspire confidence at speed; especially over steep and technical terrain.
 
The Blue Pig is a blend of DH stability and uphill tenacity. It will descend and climb with such contradiction that you will be left scratching your head! It is at home on any terrain but happiest when ridden hard, roosting turns and hammering the descents! From tearing up your local singletrack, back county adventures in the middle of nowhere, smashing out runs in the Alps or racing Enduro; it will take whatever you can throw at it!

Which Ragley is for you?

Wheel Size?

First question: 29” or 27.5”. Taller riders or those that already appreciate the extra rolling and grip benefits of the 29er need to look at the Big Wig.

Steel v’s Aluminium

This is an easy one for us; it’s all about the feel of steel. However the Aluminium option saves weight and cash. Compare the Marley to the Piglet and save £100 and half a kg. It’s all about priorities and we value the ride characteristic of the steel frame over the weight saving of the Aluminium. If you’re unsure, it’s probably time to arrange a demo ride.

Gnar factor

27.5” wheels, frame material sorted now to decide on the gnar factor. 130mm travel Piglet or Marley or 150mm travel more aggressive Blue Pig or mmmbop.

Off the peg v’s custom build?

This will come down to budget; the complete bikes are sensibly spec’d for the money with plenty of Shimano transmission and brakes, big bars, short stems and aggressive tyres. Manitou and Rock Shox taking care of the suspension duties, with sealed bearing hubs and WTB tubeless rims.

Custom building a Ragley will give you the opportunity to build it your way, build it more focused to your riding style. Build it once, build it right. We are firm believers that custom built bikes offer better value than cheaper off the peg bikes if you ride a lot. Get in touch for advice and more information.
