Following the success of the RIP 9 i s the Jet 9 with 3 inches of travel. 3 inches on a 29er is really like 4 inches… or something like that. So they made this bike that is faster, more flickable and more appropriate for racing.
The frame itself weighs 5.5 lbs. It uses the same type of ’stable platform’ design that the Rip 9 uses. Travel should be very usable and this should be a great climbing , epic ride type of bike.
Availabilty is end of summer and price is around $1595
