Not anymore. Say hello to the NINETY-SIX 7000. It builds on the fast genes of the short-travel race winner with a CF4 carbon frame and adds a whole new level of capability thanks to a 120 mm Fox 34 SC Performance fork with longer travel combined with 100 mm out back. Add more aggressive tires and a larger four-piston front brake and you're ready to rock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NINETY-SIX is the latest incarnation of the former World Cup-tested XC and Marathon machine. It inherits the racing genes of the old NINETY-SIX and combines them with a new readiness and ability to tackle today's challenging XC and Marathon courses. The carbon fiber frame platform and P-FLEX suspension provide the perfect foundation for a fun, fast, trail-loving, short-traveling full-suspension machine that helps define what a modern cross-country bike should be. It is capable of tackling the toughest world-class race tracks ever, as well as riders who want hyper-fast climbs with the ability to descend like never before. For those who want a cross-country bike for racing rather than high-speed trail fun, the RC models offer a short-travel with a 100 mm fork at the front, super-fast tires, and a lighter front brake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight CF4 carbon frame with 100 mm travel and P-FLEX technology.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModern aggressive geometry with dropper seatpost.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e120 mm travel Fox 34 SC fork for increased capability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarbon fibre Reynolds TR 309 wheels and aggressive Maxxis tyres.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowerful Shimano XT 4-piston front brake.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12-speed Shimano XT drivetrain.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal weight allowed: 135 kg.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrame\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNINETY-SIX CF4 III\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100 mm suspension travel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: carbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e29x2.35\" max. wheelsize\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e148x12 mm standard axle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottom bracket set: Race Face BSA BB 73 mm Ø30 mm, Ext.
