Top UK Racer Billy Whenman has spent the last 2 years on an Indian Fire Trail and won countless races in the saddle of this popular hardtail.

This is what 19-year-old MTB idol  Billy reckons: “The Indian Fire Trail is a quality bike. It is lightweight, responsive, stiff, and has excellent handling…just what I need from a bike.

“It comes equipped as standard with the quality components that will help anyone win a race. Without a doubt it is a top class XC race bike and highly suitable for all terrain.

“ I ride hard, as most people know, and  I find the Indian Fire Trail is great going uphill because it is so stiff and light and, in turn, that also makes it good for sprinting as well. I have won many races hurtling for the line at breakneck speed and taking people in front of me by complete surprise. It’s nifty!

“The Indian Fire Trail is really controllable and quick on the super technical down hills too and behaves amazingly through the single track.

“All in all it’s a pedigree race winning machine…and I wouldn’t have won so many races without it!”

Billy fully agrees with American Mountain Bike Action Magazine when they said “The Indian Fire Trail is a Stunner. This is a bike that, dare we say, a trail rider could ride and enjoy for years and years. The ride quality and bump absorption are a marked improvement over the vast number of aluminium hardtails.”
