Overview
About this bike
Niner's AIR 9 takes advantage of hydroformed tubing to create a nuanced, responsive ride meant for XC courses and daily trail shredding. The aluminum frame is mated to a RockShox Recon Gold fork with 100mm of bump-swallowing travel, and thanks to the tapered steerer and thru axle, swooping through the trees and bombing down the steeps comes with an extra dose of precision and strength. When you stomp on the pedals, you get plenty of go thanks to a Shimano SLX/XT drivetrain, and when you cross the finish line, you can slow it all down with Shimano Deore disc brakes. And with Niner wheels rolling easily over rocks and roots—thanks to 29 inches of cyclical awesomeness—your trail rides will feel like you're floating on air.
