BH Bikes ULTIMATE 6.5

The "ULTIMATE 6.5" model from the "BH Bikes" brand from 2023 is a high-quality mountain bike that is characterised by its advanced equipment and low weight. The frame is made of carbon, which not only gives the bike a high level of stability with a permissible total weight of 165 kg, but also reduces the total weight to just 11 kg.

The Shimano MT201 brakes with 180 mm discs ensure reliable braking performance. The gearing is equipped with the Shimano XT 8100 12-speed component and is operated via Shimano Deore 6100 shift levers, which enables precise and smooth gear changes. The Rock Shox Judy RL fork with 100 mm travel and remote lockout offers excellent suspension and control on rough terrain.

The bottom bracket and crankset are also from Shimano, with the crankset having a length of 175 mm. The drive is supported by Shimano Deore components, which ensures efficient power transmission. The BH Lite flat handlebars with a width of 780 mm and the BH Lock On grips offer comfortable and secure handling. The stem is a BH SL model with a length of 80 mm, a diameter of 31.8 mm and an angle of +/-6 degrees.

The control system is complemented by the Acros ICR headset with Block Lock 160. The choice of tyres consists of Maxxis Ikon 2.20 or Continental Race King 2.21, which are mounted on the BH Lite wheelset and ensure good grip and riding comfort. The Prologo Nago RS saddle and the BH Lite seatpost with a diameter of 31.6 mm and a length of 420 mm offer additional comfort and stability.

The geometry of the bike is also well thought out: with a reach of 455 mm, a stack of 624 mm, a seat tube length of 460 mm and a top tube length of 631 mm, the ULTIMATE 6.5 offers a balanced riding position. The head tube angle is 68 degrees and the seat tube angle is 75 degrees, which ensures optimum riding dynamics. The head tube has a length of 225 mm, the chainstay length is 420 mm and the bottom bracket height is 303 mm.

The ULTIMATE 6.5 is available at a price of EUR 1899 and offers an excellent price/performance ratio, making it an attractive choice for ambitious mountain bikers.
