Details
Built around our new Four-bar linkage frame with up-to-date geometry and proprietary X6 aluminum tubing, the new Shift R9 is the ultimate ride-anywhere-ride-anything Enduro model. With a steeper seat tube angle for more efficient pedaling plus a slacker head tube angle and longer reach for an improved attack position, the Shift R9 will satisfy a wide range of riders. With 160mm of rear travel and 170mm of front suspension provided by RockShox, the Shift R9, with its new Shimano XT and SLX 12-speed components, allows for a smooth ride up or down the hills, under the clock or not, with a wide-range gear ratio and precise, crisp shifting.

A dropper seatpost allows you to quickly lower and raise your seat to give you an ideal riding position. Dropping your seat creates a lower center of gravity for better control and maneuverability on steep descents, while raising it puts you at normal riding height for efficient pedaling.
Construction can include either hydraulic- or cable-actuated systems and the post’s travel can either be infinitely adjustable or stopped at set intervals, depending on the model.
Dropper seatposts come in standard lengths and diameters and vary by the amount of travel.
