Halfords has given its Voodoo Bizango Carbon range a makeover, with new Carbon and Carbon Pro models available to buy now.
Voodoo say they bases their bikes’ design and specs on UK riders and the conditions they’re likely to encounter on the trails. The updated versions of this popular hardtail mountain bike remain at the affordable end of the market, though cost more than the standard alloy Bizangos and come with fancier components.
Both the Carbon and Carbon Pro feature the same lightweight carbon frame, and the geometry is unchanged from the previous Bizango release – that means a head angle of 66.5 degrees and a seat angle of 73 degrees. They also come with 120mm travel, Voodoo Alloy Flat pedals, and 2.35-inch tire clearance, an increase from their predecessor’s 2.25-inch clearance.
In many other departments, however, the pricier Carbon Pro comes with improved specs: you get a RockShox SID Select fork instead of the standard model’s RockShox Judy Silver TK, and a 12-speed Shimano Deore groupset in place of the Carbon’s 11-speed set-up. There’s also a weight advantage with the more expensive model – with the Carbon Pro tipping the scales at 12kg, compared to the Carbon’s 13kg.
Voodoo Bizango Carbon/Carbon Pro availability, pricing and specs
Pricing starts at £1,200 for the Voodoo Bizango Carbon, rising to £1,650 for the Bizango Carbon Pro. Both models come in four sizes – small, medium, large and extra large – and are available to buy now, exclusively from Halfords.
