JET 9 RDO - GX EAGLE AXS TRANSMISSION
Just enough travel
JET 9 RDO ratchets up the fun factor when it’s time to fly, but it doesn’t bite back during your climb to cruising altitude.
Blending the pedaling chops of a cross-country bike with the suspension and geometry characteristics of a trail bike, we’ve made our JET 9 RDO into the most versatile bike we could imagine.
Ready for takeoff
The roomy cockpit has a comfortable reach for short stem lengths, giving you quick handling and plenty of maneuverability to navigate any airspace. The slack 66.5-degree front end and long wheelbase contribute stability and self-confidence when you’re dropping into steep descents.
Keeping your engine positioned well over the pedals, a 76-degree seat angle makes ascending to altitude a little easier. Paired nicely with short 430mm chainstays, the JET 9 RDO won’t hesitate when crawling up the crux of your favorite trail.
Constantly Varying Arc
Constantly Varying Arc (CVA) suspension system debuted in 2008 as the first suspension layout made specifically for 29ers.
Our CVA fundamentals are rock solid. It’s stable yet supple while climbing and pedaling. It’s sensitive and supportive downhill. It’s consistent and controlled in every phase of travel.
The Enduro MAX Oxide pivot bearings at the upper shock fitment allow extra-smooth articulation through the entire rocker arm sweep of 40-degrees during suspension travel. This improves small bump suppleness. Furthermore, trunnion shock mount adds width stiffness to the frame and linkage.
Fit for flight
Svelte yet stout, the JET 9 RDO exhibits a blend of weight-conscious trimming where possible and strength-enhancing structures where needed. JET boasts the ideal balance of XC light weight and trail bike sturdiness.
If your daily dose of dirt includes less pedaling, faster corners, and some heels-down, flat out fall-line chutes—enter flip chip. Lower bottom bracket by 8mm and slacken head tube angle by a half degree.
