{"product_id":"synonym-rc-3","title":"NS Bikes Synonym RC 2","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen NS Bikes launched the Synonym two years ago, people shook their heads in disbelief. This bike was a world apart from any short-travel bike ever mass-produced. The ultra-slack head angle, massive reach, and very steep seat tube had never been used on a short-travel bike, let alone one designed for XC racing. But the Synonym was the harbinger of a revolution. Thanks to this unique geometry, the Synonym feels more like an enduro bike on the descents, climbs like a goat, and charges across the flats like a bull. When they began experimenting with this geometry in the prototypes, they got the results they had expected on the downhill trails.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese bikes were simply on another planet compared to all other bikes on the market with that much travel. What surprised NS the most, however, was the fact that the bikes also climb better and are super fast on flat sections! The climbing capabilities stem mainly from the fact that the rider sits further forward of the rear wheel, resulting in better weight distribution on steep climbs. On the flats, performance is outstanding because the cockpit can be lowered, allowing the rider to sit in a more aggressive aero position without the bike feeling unstable on descents. The RC series is designed for long-distance races and marathons. These bikes feature an ultra-light full-carbon frame with flex struts (which eliminate the need for heavy pivots) and are equipped with flat handlebars, lightweight cross-country tires, and 100 mm of travel front and rear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrame: NS Bikes Synonym, carbon with 100mm travel, 148x12mm dropouts\u003cbr\u003eRear shock: Fox Performance Elite Float DPS 2-position remote lockout, push-to-unlock, Evol LV trunnion, 165x37.5mm\u003cbr\u003eFork: Fox Performance 34 Step Cast Float Grip, 110mm travel, 2-position remote lockout with Open Mode adj., push-to-unlock, 15x110mm Boost, 44mm offset\u003cbr\u003eHeadset: FSA NO.42\/47\/ACB\u003cbr\u003eStem: NS Bikes Synonym Race 31.8 (S:60, M:70, L \u0026amp; XL:80mm), Angle - 8°\u003cbr\u003eHandlebar: NS Bikes Licence Flat Lite 31.8, 750mm\u003cbr\u003eGrips: NS Bikes Silicone Lite\u003cbr\u003eSeatpost: Race Face Aeffect R S, M-125, L, XL-150, 31.6mm\u003cbr\u003eSaddle: WTB Volt Medium Cromoly\u003cbr\u003eFront brake: Sram Level TL, 180mm\u003cbr\u003eRear brake: Sram Level TL, 160mm\u003cbr\u003eRims: WTB ST Light i25 TCS 2.0 29\", 28h, Tubeless Ready\u003cbr\u003eFront hub: NS Bikes Rotary Straight Pull 110x15mm Boost (sealed bearings)\u003cbr\u003eRear hub: NS Bikes Rotary Straight Pull Cassette 148x12mm Boost (sealed bearings)\u003cbr\u003eFront\/rear tires: Maxxis Ikon 2.2 TR \/ Recon Race 2.25 EXO\/TR\u003cbr\u003eCrankset: Truvativ Stylo 7K DUB, 170mm, 34t (XL size 175mm)\u003cbr\u003eBottom bracket: Sram DUB Press Fit BB92\u003cbr\u003eChain: Sram SX Eagle, 12-speed\u003cbr\u003eRear derailleur: Sram GX Eagle Type 3 12-speed\u003cbr\u003eShift levers: Sram NX Eagle, 12-speed\u003cbr\u003eCassette: Sram PG-1210, 12-speed 11-50t\u003cbr\u003eWeight (kg): 11.4 * Size M\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications subject to change without notice.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eActual colours and design may vary slightly from the images on the website.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NS Bikes","offers":[{"title":"Medium \/ Grey","offer_id":57544850047307,"sku":null,"price":4589.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large \/ Grey","offer_id":57544850080075,"sku":null,"price":4589.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0927\/8377\/1979\/files\/BI-NSB-2321_ID_43252.jpg?v=1781081502","url":"https:\/\/www.simplebikestore.eu\/products\/synonym-rc-3","provider":"Simple Bike Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
