Ruckus_ICT_01

After countless hours of development, testing, and more testing, Ruckus Composites is finally rolling out the long anticipated (and highly rumored) state of the art ICT System. This revolutionary system is guaranteed to take weight off of your full suspension bike while making it less expensive to maintain and faster on flats. What’s the most exciting part? This system is available right now. See how it works and how to get your hands on your own ICT System today after the jump.

The ICT (Inanimate Carbon Tube) System features a Hi-Mod unidrectional carbon body with 3k twill weave decals (for those of us who want to style while we ride and smile). And, in this new, uncertain age of metric suspension, Ruckus designs and 3D prints each ICT System to fit the bike for which it’s intended for that extra peace of mind.

Once installed, Ruckus claims the system will help you to “relive the hard tail glory days” while helping your ride up hill faster.

The ICT System is available now through the Ruckus website. MSRP $500

I really, really wanted to see them case something with the ICT installed.

It was pretty tough to case stuff when you’re used to riding a 150mm bike and you’re used to preloading the rear- it was unsurprisingly, way easier to jump with it!

Ruckus really left much on the table. Come on, adjustable geometry option? Turn that FS XC steed into a slack hardtail trail slayer! But just like the rest of the industry…planned obsolescence for new models, amiright?

Wtf. For 500 you can buy an entire hardtail carbon frame! Stupid and pointless product.

But can it hold a space shuttle door closed on re-entry?

If they design it with a thinner walled tube you can still get some good flex.
