: At the core of the Xtrada 5 29r LG is the ALX XC Trail aluminium hardtail frame. Its modern trail geometry features a slack head angle for confident descents, a steep seat tube for efficient climbing, and a long reach for stability. Hydroformed tubing ensures strength without excessive weight, while internal cable routing keeps the look clean.

"
The slack head angle and long reach deliver stability and control across every trail.
: The Xtrada 5 29r LG comes equipped with a Shimano Deore 2×10 drivetrain:
Front Derailleur: Shimano Deore FD-M4100
Rear Derailleur: Shimano Deore RD-M4120
Shifters: Shimano SL-M5100
Shifting is smooth and reliable, providing a wide range for both steep climbs and fast flats. The 2×10 setup also leaves room for future upgrades without replacing the entire groupset. Paired with sealed-bearing hubs, the drivetrain maintains efficiency and reduces drag.

"
Smooth, reliable shifting ensures your momentum stays steady even on challenging terrain.
: The Xtrada 5’s geometry encourages a slightly upright posture for long rides, reducing fatigue over extended trails. The SR Suntour XCM-HLO 120mm suspension fork absorbs bumps and rough patches, while the lightweight frame flexes subtly for additional comfort.

"
The combination of responsive suspension and smart geometry makes long rides more enjoyable.
: Hydraulic disc brakes provide confident stopping power in all conditions. Lever feel is consistent, and the 160mm rotors give sufficient braking force for steep trails. Steering is precise, thanks to the stiff frame/fork junction and modern head tube angle. The bike handles well in technical sections and maintains stability at higher speeds.

"
Reliable hydraulic braking keeps you in control, no matter the terrain.
: The Xtrada 5 uses double-wall alloy rims with sealed-bearing hubs, offering durability and reduced maintenance. Stock 29" x 2.25" tires provide traction on varied surfaces, with the option to slightly wider tires for rougher trails. Wheels feel stiff but responsive under load, and the sealed hubs maintain performance in wet or dusty conditions.

"
Durable wheels and grippy tires give you confidence on every trail.
: The Polygon Xtrada 5 29r LG is ideal for riders seeking a high-performance hardtail that handles cross-country and trail riding with ease. It combines a modern frame, reliable Shimano drivetrain, efficient suspension, and quality components all at an attractive price.
