Bamboo for a mountain bike? Is that really durable enough for big hits, suspension forks, rocks, and anything else mountain bikers can throw at a bike? YES.
The Boo MTB, available in 26" and 29" versions, is a very robust and stiff machine capable of seasons of abuse. The construction is similar to all other Boo models, with specially treated and hand selected dendrocalamus strictus bamboo tubing and high-modulus carbon wrapped tube-to-tube. All aspects of the frame have been beefed up to weather the elements, including thicker tube walls all around and additional carbon layers at the joints.
The Boo MTB's true advantage is in bamboo's special ride properties. The bamboo is able to flex very slightly over trail chatter, gravel, and washboard--smoothing the ride and letting you hammer in the saddle all day with less fatigue and more speed. Bamboo is truly the best material in existence for a race-ready trail rig, and the Boo MTB marries it to carbon fiber for light weight and ultimate stiffness.
