Pedigree counts in racing. That’s why we chose a RockShox SID SL Ultimate fork for the AMS ZERO99 C:68X SLT 29, delivering 110mm of ground-hugging travel. We matched it with a RockShox SIDLuxe Ultimate shock at the rear, and added Newmen Phase 30 Vonoa wheels with carbon rims and spokes, shod with Schwalbe Racing Ray/Ralph 2.35in tyres for the ultimate in grip. Sram’s 12-speed XX SL Eagle Transmission serves up a huge range of ratios with incredible shifting precision, so you’ll never miss a gear again, and Sram Level Ultimate hydraulic disc brakes help you ride faster by allowing later braking. Throw in the Fox Transfer dropper post, and you’ve all you need for flat-out XC race performance.
Frame description
Fast is light, fast is efficient, but above all fast means zero compromise. The AMS ZERO99 C:68X 29’s frame is crafted from our premium carbon and weighs in at a stunning 1,600g, approximately. There’s plenty of room for 2.4in tyres – and that means more grip and more control, even in the toughest conditions. Based on feedback from our XC and European Champion riders, chainstay length is tuned for optimum climbing whilst retaining excellent manoevrability. Slender tubes help keep the ride comfortable, rather than harsh. There are angle adjustment inserts to allow fine-tuning of the head angle. And with 110mm of travel front and a geometry that’s tuned for agility and pace, you’ve got everything you need to get to the head of the pack.
