Whether you're a racer or you just love big cross-country days at maximum attack, the NINETY-SIX 6000 is a lightweight but highly capable platform for your adventures. With a full carbon fibre frame that uses our P-FLEX flexstay technology to tame the bumps without any excess weight, it's light enough for lactic acid-drenched laps between the tape but capable enough on the trail thanks to a 120 mm RockShox fork. Add in the precise shifting under load of the latest SRAM Eagle 70 with direct-mount derailleur and the power of Shimano's SLX brakes and you're good to go.
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. The carbon fibre frame platform and P-FLEX suspension is the perfect basis for a fun-packed, fast and trail loving short travel full suspension machine that helps define what a modern cross-country race bike should be. It's able to take on the rougher than ever world-class race tracks as well as the trail riders who want hyper-speed climbing with the ability to descend like never before.

We recommend confirming the specifications with your local Evo Cycles showroom if you have any questions.
