The Nordest Britango 4 is the brand’s latest update to their go-fast hardtail. Designed around a 140mm fork, the refreshed downcountry hardtail includes several improvements and tweaks that make it better suited to bikepacking. For more, read on below…
Launched today, the Britango 4 is the latest iteration of Nordest’s aggressive downcountry hardtail. It introduces several meaningful upgrades, including additional eyelets on the seat stays that accommodate rear racks and compatibility with SRAM UDH Full Mount rear derailleurs. Made of double-butted 4130 chromoly tubing, the Britango 4 is designed around 140mm of front suspension and supports both 27.5″ × 2.8″ and 29″ × 2.6″ tires. The bike also uses Boost spacing, a 73mm BSA bottom bracket standard, a TR44 head tube, and a 31.6mm seatpost clamp with dropper routing.
The Britango 4 is available in three sizes, the smallest of which is a medium. Regarding the bike’s geometry, Nordest says, “The secret behind the Britango 4’s dual personality lies in its carefully engineered geometry. Ultra-short 425 mm chainstays paired with 29″ wheels and a 75° seat tube angle deliver explosive, efficient power transfer for fast climbing. When the trail tips downward, a long top tube, 40 mm stem and a 66° head tube angle put the rider in full command for high-speed descents and technical trail sections.”
Those interested in the Britango 4 can purchase a frame directly from Nordest for €700 ($810), with shipping included for EU customers. Nordest has made the Britango 4 available for pre-order, with a discounted price of €600 ($700). Frames come in either black or white gloss, have a claimed weight of 2,750 grams for the M/L size, and all frame purchases include dropout brake mounts and thru-axles.
