Nine 80 components
Fork
This bike has the SunTour XCT fork installed. The fork’s travel is 100mm. Bike forks are good shock absorbers and provide a smooth ride and a great experience. In conclusion, always look for a fork with decent travel when you buy a bike.
Fork material
The fork is made out of aluminum, which doesn’t add too much extra weight to the bike. However, it is not so stiff as steel or carbon forks are.
Wheels
When leaving the production line, the Nine 80 model has 29″ aluminum wheels. With 29″ wheels, bumps will feel lighter and you’ll gain more speed on descends, compared to smaller wheel-sized bikes. However, 29″ wheels will make your bike react slower to obstacles you may encounter.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The Nine 80 has Mechanical Disc brakes. They deliver good performance and cost less than hydraulic disk brakes. However, they don’t have the stopping power of hydraulic brakes.
