Ellsworth sent us a preview of their 2009 lineup.Those who are allready members of the Ellsworth family will tell you that the Made-in-America framebuilder hosts special rides and parties for its customers--and has a number of setaside programes that raise moniey for cancer and environmental programs. --RC

Ellsworth Truth: Our 4-inch-travel, endurance racing, cross-country racing and trailbike legend that features 16 years of perfected geometry and Ellsworth’s Zero Energy Loss, Instant Center Tracking (ICT) suspension technology.

Ellsworth Witness: Add a partner, 4 inchesof rear-wheel travel, ICT Suspension, and the lateral stiffness to track 8 feet of fun down any singletrack and you have the Witness. If you want to experience off-road cycling in a completely new way, you owe it to yourself to try a Witness...along with your best friend.

Ellsworth Tiruth: For the rider who loves everything that makes the Truth best in its class but desires the unique riding characteristics of Titanium. The Tiruth delivers our best full-suspension, cross-country frame in the world rendered in U.S. Titanium.

Ellsworth Evolve: The Evolve has the fast rolling advantages of a 29er platform without the nasty "log truck" handling associated with “adapted” 26-inch-wheel designs. The 4-inch-travel Evolve is designed from the ground up as a true 29er.

Ellsworth Epiphany: The Epiphany is one of the lightest 5.25-inch-travel cross-country bikes in the world. Its relaxed geometry, lightweight frame, and ICT suspension earned this bike the reputation as “The Holy Grail” of trail bikes, and the “Bike of the Year” by the media.

Ellsworth Moment: Our most versatile bike offers 6” of travel and exceptional climbing ability due to its ICT suspension. The Moment is the one bike that goes anywhere; whether it is cross-country, all-mountain, freeride, Super D, 4-Cross, closed-course DH, or urban, the Moment is your ride.

Ellsworth Specialist: Everything you need to be a Specialist in urban assault, dirt jumping or trials riding. The Specialist is built to withstand the rigors of riding obstacles that you won’t normally find on your favorite cross-country trail. It is built for obstacles that scare people!

Ellsworth Rogue: The ultimate all-mountain freeride machine uses Ellsworth’s ICT suspension and 8 inches of rear travel (with a 6 or 7-inch option). Aboard it you can drop into anything with a pedal kick, run any DH course and hit big air stunts so huge that people will swear that you wore a Superman cape.

9. Ellsworth Dare: Designed specifically for closed course DH competition and big hits. With 9” of rear travel, the Dare’s geometry is built to rail technical gravity courses. The ICT suspension makes it the fastest accelerating bike on the circuit. Ridden by April Lawyer and Team Maxxis.
