The new XF 979 RC features a 12-speed Shimano XT, RockShox Sid fork, and DT Swiss suspension. With the 100 mm travel, the bike is there to rule any fast cross-country, and its progressive geometry tempts you to take a sportive trail. The dropper post lets you have the best of the ride, whatever the mood. The thrill of the minimalist design is underpinned by internal cable routing. Fun through smart details: Enjoy the Block Lock that keeps the frame from damage by handlebars, the two bidons option, the chainstay rubber protector, and the DT Swiss lightweight tubeless ready wheelset.
