Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The Rail 9 comes with Hydraulic Disc brakes. Hydraulic disc brakes provide amazing stopping power, no matter what the terrain. To sum up, these are ideal for anyone.
Dropper post

As mentioned above, the lever system allows you to quickly move the saddle out of the way when approaching descents or trail obstacles.
