Ribble HT Trail AL 29 specification and geometry
During 2022 MarkJ bought himself a Ribble hardtail, the HT Trail AL 29.
The bike came custom painted in Fresh Mandarin metallic gloss with white decals and when Mark actually decides to ride it you can expect lots of photos. Hard to get something shiny and new all muddy!
But until then here’s the specification and geometry details for future reference.
If you want a Ribble HT Trail AL 29 of your own, find it on the Ribble website.
