Features | Equilink: Equilink is Felt's patented award-winning suspension design completely that isolates active working suspension from drivetrain or braking influence. The result is ride efficiency like no other suspension platform whether on a 24-hour epic, high-speed short-track loop or aggressive all-mountain terrain. | CVA™ SUSPENSION: The RIP 9 features Niner’s patented CVA suspension (U.S. Patent No. 7,934,739) and delivers 125mm of fully active travel with superb compliance and damping via a tuned for CVA RockShox Monarch RT3 HV shock. For those seeking the technical advantages of 29” wheels combined with pedalling efficiency across all chainring combinations (not just the middle ring), CVA™ is the front-runner. The result? A faster, smoother ride up and down the trail. | C9-12: Our C 9-12 System separates the suspension from braking forces, allowing maximized traction and control under heavy braking. The Orbea C 9-12 system is based around a suspension design that features a rear pivot that is concentric with the rear axle. It allows true separation of braking forces from the swingarm; the seat stays act as a brake floater, much like systems used in motorcycle and auto racing to optimize traction under heavy braking. With the rear wheel following the ground more effectively, you’ll have more control and more confidence in edge-of-control situations. We made sure to provide compatibility for multiple axle systems (QR and 12x142mm) so you can choose whichever you prefer. | TRU4-BAR SUSPENSION: More power for your pedal. The Tru4 4-bar mechanism positions the rear axle on the isolated seat stay. This optimises the “virtual pivot point” so the suspension system operates efficiently and independently of rider effects. Enjoy optimum pedalling efficiency as virtually none of your precious energy is wasted bobbing the rear suspension. Your suspension stays supple when braking so you can stop quickly and choose the best line in every corner. |
