BIANCHI NITRON 9.2 XT/SLX MOUNTAIN BIKE 2020
Bianchi’s Nitron 9.2 XT/SLX Mountain Bike borrows many ideas and technologies from their top level Methanol range, ensuring that it is very nearly as fast across the ground. The lightweight carbon hardtail frame has sufficient compliance to be comfortable on multi-hour epics, but is also adept enough at transferring power to trouble the front end of XC races. RockShox’s SID fork is a great match for the frame, being both lightweight and offering comfort, control and handling benefits. The Boost standard 29” wheels also improve handling by making the wheels stiffer and by allowing the use of short chainstays for more nimble handling, whilst still rolling rapidly. SLX and XT components are a winning combination from Shimano, with great performance and ergonomics without the scary prices associated with the XTR products.
