Storck’s long-standing experience developing the highest quality & most technically competent mountain bikes forms the basis of their new 29” wheeled hardtail. The Rebel Nine combines the most efficient power transfer & sure-footed handling thanks to high lateral stiffness in the headstock & bottom bracket. The proven high performance technology & details previously found on Storck 26” bikes (including tapered 1 1/8 – 1.5 oversize headset) combined with the lower rolling resistance of the larger diameter wheels & more stable geometry create one of the highest performance 29er hardtails ever produced. Other innovations such as the off-centre seat stays, ovalized top tube, direct mount front mech. & ‘ Magic’ integrated disc brake mount (post mount) keep weight to a minimum, increase comfort & improve handling & performance. The Rebel Nine truly spans the gap between the all-or-nothing full-suspension or 26” hardtail offerings with its comfort, control, lightweight & performance. If you are new to mountain biking or desire the simplicity of a hardtail capable of taming rough terrain the Rebel Nine is the ultimate.
