karma Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 agh, looks just like a Giant Anthem...... Myles in 3....2....1..... Sepia, rock, nonky and 2 others 5
Odinson Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 That vertical shock position is a clear DW-Link rip-off that you find on Giant bikes. Worst-link suspension designs are superior, so it's an odd choice by Niner. I would've bought one, but since you can't fit two bottles inside the front triangle, I'll look elsewhere.

Shebeen Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 jees it must be hard being the local buyer for this. R46k is not small change, but there's clearly not a shortage of okes who see value here. but it's a fickle crowd. how many do you order?do you read comments here to gauge (i hope not)!

Eldron Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) Not sure I'll like the new JET RDO - slacker with more travel... I'll love my JET cos it's nippy/point&shoot! Awesome XCO/Marathon bike. Maybe the shorter stays will keep it nimble but a 67.5 head is slaaaaaaack. Either way - I don't have enough kidneys to buy this bike. I wonder how much blood and semen requires donating for one of these.... ~R70k for an SLX bike is a little steep! Edited July 8, 2016 by Eldron T-Bob, ChUkKy, shaper and 1 other 4
ChUkKy Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 What on earth are they gonna call the 27,5? Niner-1,5 ?? shaper 1
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Myles in 3....2....1.....You called?
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 What on earth are they gonna call the 27,5? Niner-1,5 ??Technically still a niner as the circumference of the tyres at inflation s the same as a niner.  karma 1
shaper Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 What on earth are they gonna call the 27,5? Niner-1,5 ??Instead of the 27 plus... will probably be the 29 minusÂ
