Merida Ninety-Six RC 9000 frame and suspension details
As with most cross-country race bikes, the Ninety-Six RC provides 100mm of travel for both front and rear wheels, connected by a carbon frame.
Continuing the trends that have been seen across the board, the rear chainstay (or seatstay) pivot has been eschewed in favour of flexible stays that have enough flexibility built in to account for the flex needed as the suspension moves through its travel. This saves weight and reduces areas requiring maintenance.
The main pivot sits just above the chainring, and incorporates a small chainguide for added security. The shock is driven by a carbon rocker-link, which swings from the top- and seat-tube junction.
