New super-hardcore alloy hardtail for 2011.
The Troof is downhill slack and takes 160mm forks, but remains trail ready with a seating position that lets you get back to the top. Launched in 2009 to critical acclaim and rave reviews, Ragley have not rested in their quest to make the best hardball (yes, hardball) frames on the market. Revised and overhauled for 2011; featuring advanced manufacturing techniques, new features but the same inspiring slack head angle and steep seat angle geometry, these are the ultimate hardtail trail bike frames.

Frame Details:
We use high strength 7046 alloy that is typically used in weight saving XC frames – we just add a bit more of it to make a frame that’s ridiculous strong, but not heavy. Alloy frames allow us to utilise different tubing configurations, so we added a dropped top tube with seat tube brace and a true 1.5in headset. Direct and solid, this is a stunningly precise trail weapon befitting of big tyres and a long fork.
Designed to have a slack 67deg head angle at ride height, coupled with a long top tube, these frames are meant to be run with a short stem (between 40 and 60mm) to give fine control but amazing stability, with handling that will work at both high and low speeds, through rock gardens and drops.
•D MR licenced “Swopout Dropouts” allow you to run QR (standard) or fit MAXLE specific rear dropouts for the ultimate rear wheel security. • “Three Finger” chainstay bridge is exclusive to Ragley, and improved for this year, being made from a single investment cast piece. Allows massive tyre clearance so you can fit 2.5in rubber with massive chainring and tyre clearance. Works happily with 36t middle rings and gives resilience to any attempted chainsuck/derailment. Bridgeless design gives better mud clearance. • Bridgeless seatstays give awesome ride and huge mud clearance. •C hainstay mounted disc brake calliper means lighter gauge seatstays can be used to promote sublime ride quality, give a stiffer mounting for the rear brake, and a neater mounting location. • Rear slotted seat tube provides proven extra durability over extended front slotted models. • Bolt on cable guides give multiple options for cable routing and replaceability. • ISCG05 tabs • Powdercoated for enhanced durability.
The seat tube allows the use of a 31.6mm post – so it’s compatible with the “dropper” models that are out there.
A seat angle that puts the rider central on the bike, whatever their size, and a chainstay length that balances tyre clearance, traction and hill climbing ability. Oh, and if you measure the other way – using “static” settings, that head angle sits at 64.9deg.
