Key Benefits

Modern 6061 hydroformed frame helps confidence on trail routes
Shimano CUES 1 × 10 drivetrain offers simple shifting and a wide 11–48T range
100mm SR Suntour suspension fork includes a lockout function
Shimano MT200 hydraulic brakes support reliable trail control
WTB Ranger 29 × 2.25-inch tyres balance rolling and mixed-surface grip

The Claud Butler Alpina 2.0 is a 29-inch hardtail built for riders who want to develop their trail skills and tackle varied off-road routes. A hydroformed aluminium frame with modern trail geometry, a 100mm SR Suntour fork and 750mm-wide bars provide a controlled platform for exploring.

Its Shimano CUES 1 × 10 drivetrain keeps shifting simple with a 32T chainring and broad 11–48T cassette range. Shimano MT200 hydraulic brakes and WTB Ranger 29 × 2.25-inch tyres help manage changes in terrain and conditions. It is a compelling step up for riders who prefer a single front chainring.

Frequently Asked Questions

What changes from the Alpina 1.0 to 2.0?

The 2.0 uses Shimano CUES 1 × 10 shifting with a wide 11–48T cassette, rather than the 1.0’s 2 × 9 drivetrain.

Does it have a front derailleur?

No. The 1 × 10 setup uses one 32T chainring at the front.

Does the fork lock out?

Yes, the SR Suntour XCM-HLO has 100mm travel with lockout.

Which brakes does it have?

The manufacturer describes Shimano MT200 hydraulic discs, although the detailed component table omits the brake entry. Confirmation is recommended.
