Need something to take on everything from cross-country races to big-mile days in the mountains? The NINETY-SIX 400 can do all that in full-suspension comfort - and without blowing the budget. Our high-performance, high-value aluminium frame uses our proven P-FLEX technology to deliver 110 mm of controlled travel at either end with remote lockout-equipped SR Suntour suspension, crisp Shimano 12-speed drivetrain and powerful hydraulic disc brakes, topped off with our own dropper post.
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. We've now introduced a high-value aluminium framed option for riders and racers on a tighter budget, but it retains the winning DNA and P-FLEX suspension system, making it the perfect basis for a fun-packed, fast and trail loving short travel full suspension machine. With planted geometry and a supple 110 mm of rear wheel travel, it's able to take on rough race tracks and marathon events, as well as being a great option for riders that want a short travel bike for taking on the trails.
