Terrain

The Ridgeback Terrain in Bothy Blue (RB13010) is a trail-ready hardtail mountain bike engineered for riders stepping into off-road riding, woodland trails, and all-weather commutes. Constructed around a lightweight, durable 6061 aluminium frame with modern trail geometry—featuring a progressive 66° head angle—the chassis is finished in an earthy "Bothy Blue" paint job and backed by a lifetime frame and fork warranty. Bump handling is provided by an SR Suntour XCM32 suspension fork with 100mm of travel, while proportional wheel sizing pairs 27.5-inch wheels on XS/S frames and 29-inch wheels on M/L/XL frames.

At its core is Shimano’s hard-wearing 1x9-speed Shimano CUES drivetrain, featuring a 32T chainring paired with a wide-range 11-46T cassette for effortless gear shifting on steep climbs. Stopping power comes courtesy of Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes with a large 180mm front rotor for controllable braking on fast descents. Wrapped in high-volume 2.4" Maxxis Rekon tires and outfitted with an integrated kickstand mount along with rack and fender bosses, the Terrain easily transitions from local singletrack to practical everyday adventures.
