Boardman URB 8.9

Info

The 2021 Boardman URB 8.9 is built on a lightweight, hydroformed aluminium frame with smooth welds and a tapered aluminium fork which offers fantastic stability and steering control. The frame has been designed to be efficient whilst maximising comfort and ensuring the rider has good head up visibility. Vittoria 32mm tyres give confidence with superior grip and comfort but also have low rolling resistance so speed is not lost. They also feature a puncture resistant layer to keep your riding as hassle free as possible.

The URB 8.9 is fitted with an Alfine 8-speed hub gear and with this broad range of gears you’ll be able to tackle any incline. No matter if you’re loaded up and regardless of the weather you’ll come to a quick, controlled stop thanks to powerful Shimano Hydraulic disc brakes. The added bonus of a Gates belt drive make it ultra-low maintenance, all year round.
