Top Fuel 69er
Ride
- Race bike fast, trail bike confident. The 29" front wheel provides superior rollover and traction characteristics, while the 26" wheel keeps the wheelbase short and maneuverable. Fast acceleration, nimble handling, and stable high-speed descending are all traits of the 69er.
Fit
- The benefits of the 29er platform with the familiar fit of a 26er. A race fit with the descending capabilities of a trail bike.
Technology
- Balanced frame geometry and fork offset helps the 69er carve through single track like it's on rails, but is also stable, smooth, and fast when the trail opens up.
- Longer front tire contact patch provides unbeatable cornering traction.
- Decreased angle of attack allows the front wheel to roll over trail obstacles better.
- Short chainstays for quick handling.
- Custom-offset suspension fork provides both slow-speed maneuverability and high-speed stability, while keeping wheelbase length the same as a 26er.
- 26" size keeps rear wheel light, strong, and accelerating quickly.
- R1 Suspension Technology provides the optimum blend of pedaling efficiency, balanced ride characteristics, and an active suspension.
- Main pivot cartridge bearings adding better small bump compliance.
- Hi-Lo asymmetrical swingarm is stiffer and saves over 200 grams over previous bonded version.
- 100mm front wheel and 90mm rear wheel suspension travel.
