For 2023, Ragley has made some minor modifications to the Big Wig platform. It’s still a hard-hitting 29er trail bike with a robust 4130 steel frame, but the angles and fit have been tweaked to eke out those final few percentage points of performance.
Currently the new format is only available as a frame only, as Ragley still has 2022 versions of the complete Big Wig to shift before the new frame geometry is rolled out across the range. As such, our Big Wig Race test bike was a mix of old and new: the build kit is similar to the 2022 build for £2,499.99, the frame is brand new and available for £549.99. Hopefully Ragley can hold complete build prices where they are at when the new frame finally rolls out to the range later this year.
So what exactly has changed?
