MERLIN C110 Carbon.
A great road bike is a celebration of cycling in its purest form and the Merlin C110 is carbon perfection in motion. The C110 features a perfect blend of unidirectional, Low Density carbon fiber to produce a silky smooth road-racing marvel. Crafted using Merlin's MX MTS carbon tubing technology, the monocoque C110 carbon frame maximizes the unique strength characteristics of carbon fiber to counter frame stress, channeling all your pedal energy into forward motion. Superior handling, drive train stiffness and stability are produced through a massively reinforced bottom bracket, S-bend seat stays and Merlin designed chain stays. Front-end stiffness and responsive steering begins with the proven Merlin geometry, and is further refined using the silky smooth Real Design High Modulus carbon fork. The sculpted 6/4 titanium dropouts are not just pretty add-ons, but the result of Merlin's spare-no-expense development process that analyzes each frame characteristic for performance and reliability.

There are moments in our cycling lives where everything around us comes together; the humidity is down, the sun is up, the temp - just right. Imagine yourself on a stunning Merlin Cyrene without another soul in sight. With seemingly effortless power transfer, the Cyrene feels almost self-propelled. Beautifully sculpted seat stays soften the vibrations of the road, while beefy chain stays maintain a firm connection to the power band. This richly engraved frame is a rolling work of art that inspires confidence on descents while boosting your ego on climbs and sprints. Simply put, Merlin Cyrene is nothing short of a dream machine.

The Pro Race2 road racing tire features a special casing which is remarkably supple, yielding a road feel that rivals fine tubulars. It utilizes our special polyamide casing plies, plus a high density interwoven nylon belt under the tread. The result is a supple ride and high rolling efficiency, plus enhanced puncture resistance in the tread area. The belt is also designed to reduce casing stretch caused by high pressures, thus increasing tread life. Selection may be limited.
Niner's intention was to design the lightest, fastest 29er frame on the market when creating the AIR9 frame. Working off of knowledge gained from the ONE 9 and our relationship with Easton, Niner designed the AIR 9. The AIR9 uses a custom butted and drawn Easton GX2 Scandium tubeset. Niner worked with Easton to develop a proprietary downtube designed to be used without a head tube gusset while still maintaining loads of clearance for fork crowns. A medium raw finish for example weighs just 3.25 pounds. The AIR9 platform paired with choice lightweight components will build the ultimate 29er bike for those long endurance races or simply just hammering the local trails where you want the lightest, most comfortable ride possible. S-Bend chainstays and seatstays offer a surprisingly vertically compliant ride yet the bottom bracket area is stiff for hammering out those hills in middle or big ring putting loads of power to the ground.
Frame: custom butted and drawn Easton Scandium GX2 tubing.

Color:Tang, Kermit Green or Raw finish or powdercoat only except for Raw frame option.
THE 29er REVOLUTION
Big wheels are becoming a big deal! By decreasing the tire's surface contact angle, 29-inch wheels offer a smooth, fast ride, letting you roll over large obstacles quickly and easily. Larger wheels also give you a larger contact patch between the ground and tire, improving traction for cornering and climbing, and letting you float through mud and sand. By placing your center of gravity lower relative to the wheel axles, 29ers are extremely stable.
NINER JET 9 Frame.
JET9 was designed from the ground up to be the fastest and most pedal-efficient 29er full-suspension frame on the market today. This lightweight, race-ready frame is designed around the Niner's proven CVA suspension system, featuring 3.1" of plush, fully active travel with a sloping top tube for increased stand over height. The 72-degree head tube angle delivers precise steering while sealed cartridge bearings in all pivots provide smooth, grit free suspension movement. The custom valved Fox RP23 rear shock offers increased suspension activity on all bump sizes with enhanced shock tuning ability. Polished 7075 T-6 suspension links keep the suspension tracking straight and offer increased torsional stiffness.
Frame: Custom butted 6061 T-6 aluminum tube set with head tube and seat tube gussets. Rear Shock: Custom valved Fox RP23. Frame Weight (Med): 5.8lbs. Sizes: SM-XL. Colors: Black anodized or Kermit Green powdercoat.
One ride on Niner's RIP9 with CVA suspension you will soon understand what all the fuss has been about with regards to 29ers. The RIP9 rails everything and screams through rock gardens where others get hammered literally to a standstill. Power through the gnarliest terrain you can give it – the RIP9 compares in technical ability to any 6" travel 26" wheeled bike and still climbs like any 4" travel bike. This fully active, pedal neutral suspension design is compliant on everything from small chatter to large obstacles - guaranteed to be an all day epic fun bike. All four corners of the linkage feature full complement sealed cartridge bearings and the custom valved FOX RP23 shock provides a smooth stroke resulting in a near bottomless feel of suspension. The ultimate 29" trail bike.

Park's super small micro pump works like a champ, fitting nicely into your bag or jersey pocket, or attaching directly to your frame. Details include an aluminum barrel, locking head, flip-out handle and dual density grips. Presta or Schrader. Includes mounting hardware. Inflates to 100 psi.
By carefully paring down excess material, shortening the chain stays by a half inch and using a smaller diameter down tube and shorter head tube, Santa Cruz refashioned the ever-popular Blur frame into the new, feathery, five-pound Blur XC. Tighter, snappier and lighter, the new generation Blur still sports a plush, 4.5 inches of rear wheel travel. If you’re looking for big air, look some place else. But, if your upward glance is trained on that elusive top step of the race podium, this cross-country racer was built for you.

Patented SportLeg contains lactate forms of healthy calcium and magnesium with Vitamin D. Taken an hour before exercise, it pre-loads your bloodstream with lactate and tricks your muscles into thinking they don't need to make more—a sneaky way to raise lactate threshold and boost performance. Bicycling magazine's testers agreed: "It took longer to reach the burn point; legs kept going and feeling fresh, even up the final climb." No loading phase or every-day requirement. 120 capsules per bottle.
