Overview
About this bike
Niner teamed up with the metal masters at Easton to produce the pinnacle of bikes with a smooth ride at an unmatched weight. Blending custom-drawn Scandium tubing and Niner's well-proven geometry, the Air 9 is a hand-crafted, agile ripper of a frame that offers comfort for the long haul. The rear S-bend chain and seat stays are shaped for maximum horizontal stiffness for efficiency and vertical compliance for comfort, and also big tire clearance. Plus, the components on this bike are all business: WTB wheels, SRAM's X-9 group, Avid's Juicy 7 brakes and Race Face cranks and controls.
