The Ninety-Six 9000 is the cross-country bike for riders who want to keep their speed up on the climbs and the descents alike.
Its lightweight carbon frame and fast-rolling Maxxis Rekon Race tyres carry the XC racing genes, while down-country capability gets a boost from a 120mm Fox 34 Float SL Factory fork and a 150mm Fox Transfer dropper post. At the back, 100mm of travel is controlled by a Fox Float SL Factory shock, and both ends can be locked out from the bar with a three-position remote.
The build is about as good as it gets: Shimano's latest XTR Di2 wireless drivetrain, powerful yet lightweight XTR brakes, an FSA one-piece carbon cockpit and Reynolds 309 XC carbon wheels with a lifetime warranty. It's an impeccable package for racing, long days and fast trail riding.
