2011 951 fun factor has been improved
So with the introduction of our M9-FRO we had a lot of people asking are you still making the 951 now? well you bet your ass we are! why would we stop making one of the most fun DH bikes ever made? We did however push the envelope of enjoyment for this bike, brought the price down, dropped the weight a smidge and made it a more simple bike. 3 key differences on this bike over the last model:
New hydroformed downtube, vs the monococque shell of years past and yes, are you ready for the bike industry keywords? the new tube is lighter and stronger. All that marketing BS aside, it really is a nice tube.
We changed the shock spec to a FOX RC2, more simple to adjust, basically took out adjustment you did not need on this type of bike.
Removed the adjustable G3 dropout and created an entirely new fixed dropout system. It looks so clean and trick, with a new rear axle system that is integrated into a threaded derailer hanger.
MSRP of the new 951 is $2499. An american made beauty.
