Ragley Bikes at Plush Hill Cycles
Fun Machines, that’s how Ragley describe the 2012 range from Ragley and having ridden a couple of them we are inclined to agree. Prior to 2012 Ragley have been famous for making the finest hardtails for UK riding with an emphasis on value.
For 2012 to Ragley have launched full suspension bikes and frames and fully built hardtail bikes
Piglet
Frame or complete bike the Piglet launched in 2011 is a trail focused steel hardtail designed around a 120mm travel fork. Aimed at riders that like to climb as well as descend, this is the most ‘normal’ bike that Ragley build.

Blue Pig

Full bike only: £TBC (sub £900) Rockshox Recon Silver R, Truvative Blaze chainset, Prime Aero chain device, Avid Elixir 1 brakes, Maxis Highrollers, SRAM X5
Ten-four
Ragleys first ever full suspension bike the ten-four gets its name from its mismatched travel, 100 out back with 140 at the front. Coming from building hardtails with longer travel forks the mismatched travel seemed a logical solution, keeping the rear travel shorter keeps the rear end tighter and more stable over obstacles and less likely to be effected by pedalling and braking forces. The ten-four uses the familiar Ragley geometry, so slack headangle combined with a steep seatangle and long top tube so the ten-four offers comfort, speed, and extra trail fun.
The suspension design uses a dual-link to give a progressive feel and fantastic rear triangle stiffness, amazing strength to weight and pedal and brake action.
X5 and X9 build options in blue and green
Big Ten-four
Ragley have taken the ten-four platform and optimised it to suit 29 inch wheels and bigger riders that suit it. X9 complete build bikes, burgundy or teal blue
Ragley Big Ten-four
G6
The G6 takes the Ragley mismatch suspension platform to the next level; 130mm rear travel with 160mm at the front the G6 is longer and slacker than the ten-four for stability on the big mountain descents.
X9 build with Rockshox Lyrik forks, orange or grey
