Hey Guys,
Just a heads up that next week we will be receiving our first shipment of 2009 NS frames and components!
We have been getting a lot of inquiries about the new gear from Farkin members so I have put together a little run down on the new gear and when it will be available!
For all the finer details check out the website www.ribbed.com.au and dont forget that everything is now available direct to keep prices down! check out the STORE now!
So here is a quick run down on the new bits!
Cheers,
Ben.
Frames:
2009 NS Majesty:
The Majesty frame is NS Bikes' new premium level dirt jump frame. It uses a new patented 4130 cromo tubing that sees the whole frame heat treated after the frame is welded. It uses no gussets, is oxodized internally and externally which keeps the frame from rusting!
26" Specific and only 2.2kg! - Available Febuary
2009 NS Capital 2:
The new Capital frame is nuts! It uses the same technology as the Majesty frame. With slammed chainstays and 24" specific geo, this thing is tight and whippy! And at only 2.09kg is possibly the lightest MTB-street frame on the market. And if thats not enough NS claim this is the strongest frame they have ever made!
24" specific, 2.09kg - Available Febuary
2009 NS Suburban:
This year sees some big changes in the Suburbans cromoly tubing. Using a special offset butted down tube with internally integrated gusset! (a mouthful i know! basically its damn strong where it needs to be) The rear end has been beefed up considerably and all V pivots and cable mounts are flush fitted - giving it a super clean look.
26" and 24" specific models 2.4kg - Available NOW
2009 NS Traffic:
This is a brand new frame in the NS range and is aimed to be the economical frame for DJ and Street. Its strong, light and uses very similar Geo to the Suburban (infact its rumoured that this is actually the 07 Suburban frame!) which is nuts considering the price! Even crazier is its made from double butted Japanese Sanko cromoly... unheard of in a frame of this price.
24/26" 2.6kg - Available NOW
2009 NS Surge:
Similar to last years frame but with a few geo upgrades. The Surge is NS Bikes all-rounder. This thing performs really well as a DH/FR/4X hardtail. Made out of 4130 cromoly and a much more advanced tubeset the Surge does away with its old heavy gussets and is perfectly matched to a 120-160mm fork and 26" wheels
26" wheels, 2.7kg - Available NOW
Forks:
2009 NS RNS 2:
The new RNS fork has taken MTB rigids to a new level. Forget the old-school heavy lumps of steel that some people call rigids. The new RNS uses custom triple butted 4130 cromoly blades, CNC machined and black oxodised steerer that is internally tapered. All this means that the new RNS is lighter than anything else on the market and a heap stronger too!
24/26" 1.18kg - Available NOW
2009 NS Fundamental 2:
The new Fundamental has also gone through some pretty serious changes for 2009. Basically its a slightly taller version of last years RNS fork! Tapered blades and CNC steerer with black oxodising. Oversized dropouts that are big enough and strong enough to be cut out to fit 14mm axles!
24/26" 1.45kg - Available NOW
Stem:
2009 NS Quark Pro:
Heavily re-designed for 2009 the Quark is lighter and stronger than ever. using a custom extrusion mold these stems are cold-forged before going into the CNC department for some serious machining internally and externally.
40mm long 0deg rise 190g - Available NOW
Pedal:
2009 NS Aireal:
These new pedals from NS are pretty exciting! Super low profile platforms that inclead 2 sealed bearings and a bush to ensure you wont blow them out.
400g (pair) - Available Febuary
Bars:
2009 NS Proof:
A brand new bar for NS the Proof is a 7050 Alloy bar designed to fill the gap between the District High and Low models. They come in a 3" rise and are 28" wide with a new-school relaxed geometry. The tubing is custom butted making them strong enough for DJ/Park yet nice and light!
310g - Available NOW
2009 NS District:
Well NS have completely re-vamped the District according to their pro-riders requests. Its now alot lighter, wider and with a little more back-sweep.
The new District feature new multi butting to keep them light even if they are uncut. with a 22.2 clamp-size and shims included you can use this bar with any MTB or BMX stem on the market.
500g - Available NOW
Hubs:
2009 NS Rotary 9:
This is the new high end front hub from NS. The Rotary 9 will fit into any Q/R or Rigid fork dropout. These things are bomb-proof, using a Ni-Cromo hollow axle and 7075 body and cones this is also one very light hub.
199g - Available Febuary
2009 NS Rotary 20:
A 20mm brakeless version for suspension fork users. No unnecessary hub shell machining making the hub weaker or heavier. Straight up no gimmicks. Ultra low flanges, lightweight & strong AL7075 hardware guarantee that your hub will not fail & will run smooth for a very long time. Check the special CNC'd 7075 cone nuts – pure quality!
170g
2009 NS Rotary Rear SS:
This hub is simply as good as MTB SS hubs get. It takes all the technology from BMX and brings it into the MTB scene like no other. No stupidly heavy axle nuts, weak driver bearings and bendable 3/8” axles for this hub.
NS have created this extremely light hub by machining any excess material from the shell, adding 7075 male clamp bolts, and running the latest bushing technology for the driver. This ensures that you wont have any driver bearings collapse, and extremely accurate engagement. Oh and if you were worried about strength, get this – NS have ensured you cant strip any cones with steel slip-ons. The hollow axle bolts use a super clean 17mm hex head to ensure max clamping force.
