Supercaliber SLR 9.8 GX AXS is an ultralight carbon XC mountain bike thats ready to lay down rubber on race day. Its SLR Mountain Carbon frame is as light as it is meticulous, with a high modulus layup that gives you all the stiffness you crave, and none of the weight. XC courses get rowdier every year, so its equipped with a 110mm fork and 80mm of IsoStrut rear suspension to smooth your roll without kicking pedaling efficiency to the wind. Its all topped off with carbon wheels, a carbon cockpit, and SRAMs wireless GX AXS Transmission.
Supercaliber’s unique frame design ditches traditional suspension hardware so there’s less weight, less maintenance, and less lateral flex. IsoStrut connects the mainframe to the pivot-less seat stays to offer about 80mm of rear wheel travel. This design offers a unique blend of efficiency, traction, and fatigue-fighting compliance that keeps racers fresh and in control.
IsoStrut integrated suspension gives you just enough travel to stay in control. Its fully tuneable like a standard rear shock, but without the weight penalty of a full suspension bike.
Supercaliber SLR is the World Cup lightweight frame. It drops grams by using a higher modulous carbon fiber layup that allows us to use less material, plus we skip internal guide tubes for cable routing, minimizing material and maximizing weight savings.
This bike doesn’t come with pedals because youll have a better ride if you choose your own. See the pedal guide to find the best pedals for your riding style. Want pedals built for the race? We recommend clipless MTB pedals for control & efficiency.
