Gardena
Origin
The Gardena 29 is Bottecchia's cross-country racer, and the current generation is a full-suspension carbon bike built with the brand's MONOLITH HM monocoque process. With 100 mm of travel front and rear, Boost 148 spacing and clearance for 29x2.30 tires, it's aimed squarely at XC competition — quick and controlled on the climbs, composed on technical descents. Builds run from Shimano Deore up to SRAM XX SL AXS, with RockShox SID/Reba forks, so the same frame covers everything from sharp-end racing to fast trail riding.
