Superfly carbon
If you want carbon, the Superfly 9.6, 9.7, and 9.8 hardtails benefit from technology found on the top-end Superfly SL models, with OCLV Mountain carbon, so you’re benefitting from previously very expensive tech but at a more affordable price. Still expensive mind.
Prices start at £1,700 for the Superfly 9.6 and top out at £2,500 for the Superfly 9.8
