Claud Butler Alpina 2.0 Mountain Bike, 29" X Large (21") Carbon Grey

The Claud Butler Alpina range has been completely overhauled for 2024, with two models, a new frame, modern trail riding geometry and the latest in Shimano CUES – our vision for the Alpina was to create a bike that thrives exploring UK trails. Our latest Claud Butler MTB range makes use of 1x10 drivetrain, and that’s exactly where we started with the Alpina 2.0. Using Shimano’s latest CUES series drivetrain components, the wide range 11-48t cassette makes lightwork of gruelling climbs, while the narrow/wide 32t chainset keeps the chain in place over rough terrain. We have also stayed with Shimano for the brakes, using their ever-reliable MT200 hydraulic disc brakes that offer consistent and reliable stopping power. The Alpina was always about developing a mountain bike that could handle the demands of UK trail centres and off-piste wild tracks, and central to that is modern-thinking frame geometry, specifically built around a 100mm fork and 29in wheels. Longer top tubes and slacker head angles combined with super short 45mm stems and ultra-wide 750mm handlebars result in a confidence inspiring ride that feels controlled while you enjoy the thrill of the trail. Adding to this, we’ve used 29x2.25” WTB Ranger tyres that are known for their fast-rolling, good puncture resistance and good grip across a range of trail conditions. All in, the Alpina 2.0 is a serious bike for those looking to enter the world of mountain biking or even develop their existing skills further.
