![]() Generally, bikes in this category have a longer reach, taller stack height, and slacker head tube angle (in the 64° to 66° range). While that’s all fine and dandy, it turns out there’s another category of steel hardtail that leans closer toward the rad side of things: the shredpacker’s delight. For anyone coming from an older bike, modern semi-rad geometry is easy to figure out and usually feels equally solid as a loaded bikepacking bike as it does for post-work rips. The big takeaway is that these bikes hit a sweet spot for general trail riding and bikepacking. Scroll down to the pricing table for more build options.If you read my review of the Panorama Taiga (linked at the bottom of this post), you’re likely familiar with this new breed of mountain bike I affectionately refer to as “semi-rad steel hardtails.” To summarize, they fall somewhere between dirt road tourers and ultra-slack hardtails-think Marin Pine Mountain, Nordest Britango, Esker Japhy, and Mason Raw. ![]() The specs below are for the mid-level Edge Cycles Hardtail 29er – our standard Edge Cycles Hardtail rental bike build. We’re confident you’ll be happily surprised. Come take one out for a rip on JEM or at Gooseberry and find out for yourself if a steel hardtail can really be an all-mountain bike. If you’re bored with your full suspension bike or you’re just curious about hardtails, we have the Edge Cycles Hardtail by Canfield Bikes for rent in all sizes. If you’re more interested in the overall ride experience than making a new PR, then the Edge Cycles Hardtail by Canfield Bikes is the hardtail for you. The fifth-generation Nimble 9 has been refined to be a legit all-mountain hardtail, equally adept at ripping tight, twisty singletrack or dropping off rock ledges. Previous 29ers were basically straight-line, point-and-shoot monster trucks that didn’t lend themselves to quick, snappy maneuvers. The Canfield Nimble 9 was one of the first 29er hardtails that could truly claim to be a nimble ride. With a lively 4130 chromoly steel frame, 66° head angle and short chainstays, the Edge Cycles Hardtail lives up to the original “Nimble” moniker. So Edge Cycles partnered with Canfield for their own Nimble 9 with Edge Cycles paint and graphics. Canfield Bikes is right up the road in Grand Junction and the Nimble 9 is a time-tested and proven bike. Edge Cycles is located in Fruita, Colorado and when they started thinking about making a new-school hardtail, they realized the solution was right under their nose. If you’ve seen or heard about the Canfield Bikes Nimble 9, you already know everything there is to know about the Edge Cycles Hardtail. With slack all-mountain geometry, short chainstays and a 150mm fork, the Edge Cycles Hardtail by Canfield Bikes is more about finding fun lines than KOMs – perfect for the technical slickrock trails we have in Hurricane. It’s most definitely not a cross-country bike, though. It’s a super-fun, steel 29er made for riders who like the efficiency, precision and playfulness of a hardtail. ![]() The Edge Cycles Hardtail is a Canfield Bikes Nimble 9 with special edition Edge Cycles paint and graphics. We’re really excited about adding a hardtail to our mountain bike rental lineup. Edge Cycles Hardtail by Canfield Bikes Description
