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 fiber 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.
