The Supercaliber SL 9.7 AXS is a carbon XC mountain bike built for rocketing over singletrack and scorching the way to the finish line. It's built with a carbon frame that balances stiffness with compliance for power when you need it most, while IsoStrut rear suspension gives you just enough squish to soften the blow through the rough terrain peppering modern XC courses. It comes ready to rip with a fully wireless 12-speed SRAM GX AXS transmission for precise shifting ? even under load.

Nothing else like it

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 80 mm 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

IsoStrut integrated suspension gives you just enough travel to stay in control. It's fully tunable like a standard rear shock, but without the weight penalty of a full suspension bike.

SL OCLV Mountain Carbon

The Supercaliber SL is a lightweight OCLV Carbon frame. It features a lightweight carbon lay-up that doesn't compromise stiffness for weight, plus it features internal guides that make cable routing a breeze.

You almost forgot your pedals

This bike doesn?t come with pedals because you'll 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 and efficiency.
