The Supercaliber SL 9.6 is a carbon XC mountain bike that will whizz through singletrack and arrive at the finish like a rocket. It has a carbon frame that balances stiffness with flexibility for performance where it's needed. The IsoStrut rear suspension is soft enough so you'll blast through the tough terrain of modern XC trails with ease. It's ready to lean into it thanks to a 12-speed Shimano SLX drivetrain that offers the gearing you need for climbing and separation from the pack.

You're picking up an XC race bike and want enough suspension to enjoy the ride more. You want the benefits of a carbon frame and IsoStrut, and you're choosing reliable components that you can upgrade over time.

1. You get a 110mm fork and 80mm rear IsoStrut suspension that, along with a more laid back and capable geometry, can playfully handle the roots and rocks of modern XC trails.
2. The IsoStrut allows for adjustable suspension damping that maintains pedaling efficiency on hard climbs at full speed.
3. The SL carbon OCLV mountain bike frame dampens vibration and offers the stiff agility of carbon at a lower price point.
4. Studless seatstays reduce weight and help minimize vibration through active flex.
5. The 12-speed Shimano drivetrain provides a large gear spread so you can tackle climbs and traverse straights more playfully.

110mm front suspension thanks to a RockShox Recon Gold RL fork with DebonAir spring and Motion Control shock, and 80mm rear suspension thanks to RockShox SIDLuxe IsoStrut shock. Shimano drivetrain with Deore and SLX components and telescopic seatpost. Also reliable Shimano hydraulic disc brakes.

If you're often on the podium and want an XC machine that achieves this, then the Supercaliber SL 9.6 is the perfect choice for you. It's designed for XC and has modern race geometry and a suspension compliant enough to smooth out rough surfaces, so you can keep pushing it all the way to the finish line.

Uniqueness within uniqueness We've done away with traditional suspension in the unique frame design of the Supercaliber models. We've reduced weight, maintenance requirements and sideways flex. IsoStrut connects the frame to the seatstays without pins, which means a rear travel of approximately 80 mm. It's a perfectly balanced mix of efficiency, traction and fatigue delay to keep riders feeling comfortable for as long as possible and the bike still handling precisely.
	IsoStrut The integrated IsoStrut suspension provides ample travel to ensure controllability. It's fully adjustable like a standard rear shock, but doesn't add weight like a full-suspension bike.
SL, OCLV carbon for mountain bikes The Supercaliber SL has a lightweight OCLV carbon frame. The carbon layup is lightweight, but still stiff enough for its weight. It also provides internal grommets for easy cable routing.
	Shimano Deore The Shimano Deore groupset offers a wider range of gears for climbing, fast riding and also fun, so it's designed for big adventures. With a smoother ride, more stable chain and nimble Deore shifting, you'll feel more confident and in control when mountain biking, so you can focus on the trail and enjoy the ride.
You almost forgot the pedals This bike doesn't come with pedals because you'll have a better ride if you choose your own pedals. Take a look at our pedal guide and choose one that suits your riding style. Want pedals designed for racing? We recommend MTB pedals with footpegs for better handling and performance.
