The Next-Level Upgrade of an Award-Winning Legend
First, Voodoo built the Bizango Pro Mountain Bike as the premium version of the multi-award-winning Bizango platform. Since winning MBR’s Hardtail of the Year award in previous years, Voodoo has refined this bike with a fully redesigned frame featuring modern geometry, upgraded components, and a dropper post straight from the factory.
Redesigned Aluminium Frame with Modern Geometry
The frame uses lightweight, triple-butted aluminium tubing in the front triangle to save weight while retaining strength. The geometry features slacker head and seat tube angles for improved control and enhanced comfort across all terrains.
Key geometry highlights (Size M):
| Measurement | Value |
|---|---|
| Head Tube Angle | 65° |
| Seat Tube Angle | 75.5° |
| Chainstay Length | 435mm |
| Reach | 425mm |
| Bottom Bracket Drop | 65mm |
The bike includes front and rear thru-axles (15x110mm front, 12x148mm rear) with Boost spacing, a UDH hanger for future drivetrain compatibility, and internal cable routing for a clean, low-maintenance setup.
RockShox Psylo Gold RC Fork with 130mm Travel
Up front, a RockShox Psylo Gold RC fork delivers 130mm of travel . The air spring allows you to adjust the fork to your weight and riding style. With big 35mm upper tubes and a 15mm bolt-through axle, the fork offers plenty of stiffness to hold a precise line without the steering ever feeling wayward or vague. The Psylo delivers a buttery smooth action, so traction and comfort are both first rate, with plenty of support in the middle of the travel.
Shimano Deore 1×12 Drivetrain
The drivetrain features a full Shimano Deore M6100 12-speed groupset .
| Component | Specification |
|---|---|
| Shifters | Shimano Deore SL-M6100, 12-speed |
| Rear Derailleur | Shimano Deore RD-M6100-SGS Shadow+ w/ UDH hanger |
| Cassette | Shimano Deore CS-M6100, 10-51T, 12-speed |
| Crankset | Shimano Deore FC-MT510, 32T, 170mm (S), 175mm (M-XL) |
The 10-51T cassette provides a massive gear range, giving you a low climbing gear for steep ascents and a high gear for fast descents. The clutch mechanism in the Shadow+ derailleur reduces chain slap and prevents dropped chains on rough terrain. Shifting is swift, accurate, and never felt like something would break even when mashing down hard.
Shimano MT401 Hydraulic Disc Brakes
For stopping power, the Bizango Pro uses Shimano BR-MT401 hydraulic disc brakes . The front rotor measures 180mm, while the rear uses a 160mm rotor – providing powerful, fade-free stopping in all conditions. The slender MT401 brake levers allow you to modulate your speed with absolute ease and complete control.
Maxxis Forekaster 29″ Tyres on Tubeless-Ready Rims
The Bizango Pro rolls on Maxxis Forekaster 29″ x 2.4″ tyres featuring EXO protection for puncture resistance. These tyres use a dual compound and come tubeless-ready from the factory. The 29″ alloy rims are double-wall construction and tubeless compatible, running front 15mm and rear 12mm thru-axles.
X-Fusion Manic Dropper Post (150mm Travel)
One of the standout features is the X-Fusion Manic dropper post with 150mm of travel . Unlike the standard Bizango which has only a rigid seatpost, the Pro model includes a dropper from the factory. The hydraulic remote allows on-the-fly saddle height adjustment, giving you the confidence to tackle technical descents by lowering your saddle out of the way.
Wide Bars and Short Stem
The cockpit features a 780mm wide Voodoo alloy handlebar (760mm on size small) paired with a 45mm short stem . Lock-on grips provide secure comfort, while the short 45mm stem creates the confident, stable handling that modern trail bikes are known for.
WTB Volt Saddle
The WTB Volt saddle features medium-thickness padding with steel rails, offering great comfort and performance on longer rides. Everyone agreed that the profile of the WTB Volt makes for the perfect perch.
Sizing and Fit
The Voodoo Bizango Pro Mountain Bike comes in four sizes to fit riders from approximately 5’2″ to 6’7″ :
| Size | Rider Height (Approx.) | Handlebar Width | Crank Length | Seatpost | Reach |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 5’2″ – 5’6″ | 760mm | 170mm | 429mm | 425mm |
| M | 5’6″ – 5’10” | 780mm | 170mm | 429mm | 440mm (est) |
| L | 5’10” – 6’2″ | 780mm | 175mm | 429mm | 455mm (est) |
| XL | 6’2″ – 6’7″ | 780mm | 175mm | 429mm | 470mm (est) |
The X-Fusion Manic dropper post measures 31.6mm x 429mm across all sizes.
Weight
The Bizango Pro weighs approximately 13.19-13.6 kg (29.1-30 lbs) for a size large without pedals . This weight makes it highly competitive for an aluminium hardtail with a 130mm air fork, dropper post, and tubeless-ready rims.
CUES Version (2025 Update)
For 2025, Voodoo introduced a new version of the Bizango Pro featuring the Shimano CUES groupset . The CUES version includes:
- Shimano CUES U6000 1×11 drivetrain (11-50T cassette)
- Shimano CUES BR-MT420 hydraulic disc brakes (4-piston)
- Same RockShox Psylo Gold RC fork (130mm)
- Same X-Fusion Manic dropper post
Both versions share the same redesigned frame geometry, thru-axles, UDH compatibility, and dropper post. Check with your retailer to confirm which specification your local store carries.
