Top Fuel 9.7 is a high-performance full-suspension cross country mountain bike with an OCLV Mountain Carbon main frame. It's light, stiff and built for smooth speed with 100 mm of front and rear suspension travel and a 1x12 SRAM NX drivetrain. It's also equipped with a TwistLoc remote suspension lockout, which lets you lock out the front and rear suspension simultaneously with a simple twist of the grip.
