Below is a full breakdown of what makes the Tracker platform special, followed by a model‑by‑model overview.
The Tracker Frame
Modern geometry. Real world durability.
At the heart of every Tracker is a 6061 T6 aluminium frame built for mixed terrain. The geometry balances stability and agility, keeping the bike predictable on uneven ground and comfortable on longer rides. Wide tyre clearance and a tapered head tube add steering confidence and control.
Practicality is built in. Mounting points for racks, stands and mudguards make the Tracker suitable for commuting, bikepacking and everyday use. It’s a frame designed to be ridden often and ridden anywhere.
Suspension
Smooth, simple and easy to set up
The Tracker range uses reliable suspension forks chosen for comfort and control on rough tracks and gravel paths. Travel ranges from 80 to 100 mm depending on the model, with coil or air options to suit different riders.
- Suntour XCE28 on Sport and Race
- RockShox Judy Silver TK on Comp
- RockShox Judy Silver Air on Pro
Each fork offers straightforward adjustments to fine tune the ride for climbs, mixed terrain and rider preference.
Drivetrain and Brakes
Dependable performance for everyday riding
All Tracker models use Shimano drivetrains for simple, reliable shifting. Gear ranges are chosen for mixed terrain, from easy climbs to steady miles on gravel and tarmac.
Braking is handled by Shimano MT200 hydraulic brakes across the range. They deliver consistent stopping power with low maintenance needs, ideal for daily use.
Wheels and Tyres
Confidence on loose ground and uneven terrain
Every Tracker rolls on 29 inch wheels for stability and smooth rolling. Tyres vary by model but all offer grip and comfort on loose surfaces.
- Kenda Booster 29 x 2.4 on Sport and Race
- Maxxis Rekon 29 x 2.4 on Comp and Pro
Both options are chosen for mixed terrain riding, with the Rekon offering tubeless ready performance on the higher models.
