The 2009 Capital frame has gone through so many technological upgrades, that the NS team has decided to call it a "sequel" to distinguish it from the 08 model. This is an all new premium level frame. The Capital 2 is probably the lightest and most advances mtb street frame on the market. The frame weights 2.12 kg, but it's very strong, for most hardcore riders. The NS testing machine, indicates, that this is the the stronges NS frame ever!
The secret to this weight and strenght is a totally high-end tubeset combined with the new full heat treating process that takes place after the whole frame is welded. Each frame is coated inside and outside inside and outside with a thin weightless layer,that protects it from corosion. The geometry of the frame is seriously revised, it's much more radical.
