The Silverback SE:Series 12 Aluminium Hardtail Mountain Bike 2026 pushes trail performance to new ground. Built around a hydroformed T6-6061 aluminium frame, it delivers strength, stiffness and control without unnecessary weight. The updated geometry hits the sweet spot for confident climbing and steady descending, giving riders a true sense of flow across technical ground.POP geometry positions the rider for maximum power transfer and grip. The setup engages stronger leg muscles for more efficient climbs while keeping the front wheel planted through corners and loose sections. Every pedal stroke feels connected and direct, helping riders progress faster with each ride.Short 430mm chainstays keep handling sharp and responsive, while generous clearance allows for 29x2.6" tyres. The tapered 66.5 head angle adds stability without dulling agility, making quick line changes feel natural. Internal cable routing keeps everything tidy, and dropper post compatibility ensures future flexibility.With a 1x drivetrain and an included Surface chain guide, the drivetrain runs clean and secure, ready for both long climbs and fast descents. Water bottle mounts on medium to extra-large frames carry two full-size bottles, ensuring easy hydration on long rides.The Silverback SE:Series 12 suits riders ready to build confidence and skill on real trails. From local singletrack to mountain loops, it rewards commitment and control with a ride that feels intuitive, responsive and built for progress.Key Features:- Silverback Hydroformed Aluminium Frame- SR Suntour X1 120mm Fork- Shimano Deore Groupset Components - SURFACE Custom- Maxxis Rekon TR 29x2.4 TyresBenefits:- Efficient Power Transfer POP geometry engages stronger leg muscles for quicker, smoother climbs.- Confident Handling Short chainstays and a 66.5 head angle keep control sharp on every turn.- Trail-Ready Durability Hydroformed aluminium frame offers strength without excess weight.- Clean, Future-Proof Setup Internal cable routing and dropper post compatibility keep the build sleek and adaptable.- Rider-Focused Comfort Smart geometry boosts traction, control and natural body position for steady progress on every ride.
