The Taïga is a trail-focused hardtail, perfectly suited for bikepacking. It is a versatile frame developed to cover long distances, climb efficiently, and remain stable when the terrain turns technical. In short, the Taïga is a refined steel bike you’ll be happy to return to season after season.
Equally at home on daily trail rides or multi-day adventures, the Taïga climbs exceptionally well, delivers precise handling in technical sections, and inspires confidence on demanding descents. It is optimized for 120 to 140 mm suspension forks for efficiency, performance, and comfort.
