NINETY-SIX 9000

 

Relentless uphill speed with superb descending poise thanks to a light carbon frame and 120 mm fork. Downcountry? Cross-country? This is a bike that can do it all, with a top-drawer spec to match.

Just because you push your limits on climbs doesn't mean you want to take things easy on the descents, which is why we made the NINETY-SIX 9000. The lightweight P-FLEX carbon frame and fast rolling tyres provides the cross-country racing genes while downcountry capability is boosted thanks to a 120 mm travel Fox 34 SC fork and 150 mm dropper post. Add to that the latest Shimano Di2 XTR wireless drivetrain, powerful yet lightweight XTR brakes, a FSA NS SIC one-piece carbon cockpit and Reynolds carbon wheels, and you've got an impeccable package.

The NINETY-SIX is the latest incarnation of our former World Cup proven XC and marathon machine. It inherits the forward-surging race genes of the old NINETY-SIX and combines it with a new readiness and ability to tackle today’s demanding XC and marathon courses. The carbon fibre frame platform and P-FLEX suspension is the perfect basis for a fun-packed, fast and trail loving short travel full suspension machine that helps define what a modern cross-country race bike should be. It's able to take on the rougher than ever world-class race tracks as well as the trail riders who want hyper-speed climbing with the ability to descend like never before.
