Our brand new flagship Reynolds 853 hardtail is made in the EU, and we have production samples in the building. These show the incredible quality production finish you can expect if you're getting one of these beauties. Check out these awesome photos.

The Solaris is our ultimate all rounder hardtail. Premium Reynolds 853 steel, 29 inch wheels, smiles for miles.

Now featuring our 5 step 'C-Sizing', 100-120mm fork, lighter frame and a slightly lower BB than before for better corning stability.

Over 20 years of hardtail heritage, development and character has distilled the Solaris into your hardtail allround tool of choice. It's confidence inspiring, agile and fun. A singletrack scalpel one moment, planted and fast on the rocks the next.

The Solaris uses our radical Longshot geometry for sweet, short stem handling, technical trail confidence and roomy cockpit for long distance comfort.

The Reynolds 853 frame has our famously subtle and traction rich ride feel, with plenty of space for bags and bottles for long days in the saddle.

All of this adds up to give the Solaris amazing adaptability. It can switch between a high precision trail centre carver, to a 2.4" tyre high traction monster truck. It's a light and lively XC blade, a bikepacking rig, map crossing smoothie, or just your Mountain Bike. Where will your Solaris take you?

The frames are currently in production at Fort over in Czechia. We were so excited to see these production finish frames after Cy inspected the raw frames at the factory in September. As soon as they landed we put them straight in front of Darren's camera lens. Will has declared "this would be good for dual racing"!

The colours are Ember and Forest; both with a matte finish and both looking stunning in the autumn woodland. Ember is C5 size, Forest is C3.

Solaris frames are due to get our Chesterfield HQ at the end of January.
