2016 Niner WFO 9 4-Star X01

Overview

About this bike

From trips to Whistler to the Whole Enchilada, Niner’s WFO 9 will have you descending at truly negligent speeds. This enduro-ready bike rocks shorter chain stays, a slacker head angle, and a lower BB height than you’d expect on a long-travel 29er, and all comes together to give you a bike that’ll shred even the biggest terrain features at ungodly speeds. Niner’s patented CVA suspension delivers 150mm of fully-active travel with superb compliance and damping via a custom-tuned RockShox Monarch Plus RC3 shock. The result is a faster, smoother ride with serious control on the way down. Combine this design with Niner’s signature air-formed aluminum tubing, and you have a platform that delivers industry-leading ride characteristics and class-blurring performance. The SRAM X01 build will leave your expectations lying in a smoldering pile under the bed. The Fox 36 Float Factory fork pilots down the mountain with 160mm of travel that’ll soak up big rocks and gnarly roots at breakneck speeds. Bolted to the business end of this bike are a pair of Niner’s Carbon TR wheels, rolling over everything with the stiffness to dig the beefy Maxxis Ardent tires hard into the corners and shoot you out the other side as fast as you please. A SRAM/Shimano 1 x 11-speed drivetrain gives you eleven perfectly-spaced gears that ensure blistering speed out of every pedal stroke, instant shifting, and a clutter-free cockpit. SRAM’s Guide RSC brakes provide incredible power, modulation, and lever feel along with multi-point reach customization and . If that weren’t enough, Niner rounds the build out with their Flat Top RDO carbon handlebar and a RockShox’ Reverb dropper post so you’re set up to put that trail in its place.
