XF 9.6 DC – a downcountry bike for demanding riders seeking speed, control, and fun on any terrain. The new carbon frame geometry is progressive on climbs and stable on fast, technical descents. Tested in the World Cup and by Olympic champion Jaroslav Kulhavý, the frame features a UDH derailleur hanger and integrated cable routing through the headset. RockShox suspension (140mm fork, 130mm shock) ensures maximum control even in the roughest terrain. Lightweight WTB KOM Light wheels enhance fast riding and dynamic acceleration. The Shimano XT/SLX 1x12 drivetrain delivers precise, uncompromising shifting.
