Niner Mountain Bike Frames

Niner's intention was to design the lightest, fastest 29er frame on the market when creating the AIR9 frame. Working off of knowledge gained from the ONE 9 and our relationship with Easton, Niner designed the AIR 9. The AIR9 uses a custom butted and drawn Easton GX2 Scandium tubeset. Niner worked with Easton to develop a proprietary downtube designed to be used without a head tube gusset while still maintaining loads of clearance for fork crowns. A medium raw finish for example weighs just 3.25 pounds. The AIR9 platform paired with choice lightweight components will build the ultimate 29er bike for those long endurance races or simply just hammering the local trails where you want the lightest, most comfortable ride possible. S-Bend chainstays and seatstays offer a surprisingly vertically compliant ride yet the bottom bracket area is stiff for hammering out those hills in middle or big ring putting loads of power to the ground.

Frame: custom butted and drawn Easton Scandium GX2 tubing.

Frame Weight: (Med): 3.1 lbs.
Sizes:SM-XL.
Color:Tang, Kermit Green or Raw finish or powdercoat only except for Raw frame option.

Big wheels are becoming a big deal! By decreasing the tire's surface contact angle, 29-inch wheels offer a smooth, fast ride, letting you roll over large obstacles quickly and easily. Larger wheels also give you a larger contact patch between the ground and tire, improving traction for cornering and climbing and letting you float through mud and sand. By placing your center of gravity lower, relative to the wheel axles, 29er's are more stable. The next development of mountain bikes has arrived and its your turn to lead the pack.

The only mountain bike company dedicated solely to the 29-inch wheel concept, Niner's E.M.D. 9 is the weapon you need to confidently say to your riding buddies "Eat My Dust". Built with a custom butted 7005 series aluminum tube set, the E.M.D.9's chain and seat stays feature proprietary bends to increase tire clearance while maintaining heel clearance. The down tube has a proprietary bend that tested much stronger than a gusseted down tube while maintaining necessary clearance for fork crowns. In addition, the E.M.D. 9 uses Niner's race-tested and confidence-inspiring geometry that works flawlessly with either 80mm or 100mm suspension forks.

Frame: Custom butted 7005 aluminum tube set.

Frame Weight: (Med): 3.5lbs.
Sizes:SM-XL.
Color: Black, Powdercoat only.

THE 29er REVOLUTION
Big wheels are becoming a big deal! By decreasing the tire's surface contact angle, 29-inch wheels offer a smooth, fast ride, letting you roll over large obstacles quickly and easily. Larger wheels also give you a larger contact patch between the ground and tire, improving traction for cornering and climbing, and letting you float through mud and sand. By placing your center of gravity lower relative to the wheel axles, 29ers are extremely stable.

NINER JET 9 Frame.
JET9 was designed from the ground up to be the fastest and most pedal-efficient 29er full-suspension frame on the market today. This lightweight, race-ready frame is designed around the Niner's proven CVA suspension system, featuring 3.1" of plush, fully active travel with a sloping top tube for increased stand over height. The 72-degree head tube angle delivers precise steering while sealed cartridge bearings in all pivots provide smooth, grit free suspension movement. The custom valved Fox RP23 rear shock offers increased suspension activity on all bump sizes with enhanced shock tuning ability. Polished 7075 T-6 suspension links keep the suspension tracking straight and offer increased torsional stiffness.

Frame: Custom butted 6061 T-6 aluminum tube set with head tube and seat tube gussets. Rear Shock: Custom valved Fox RP23. Frame Weight (Med): 5.8lbs. Sizes: SM-XL. Colors: Black anodized or Kermit Green powdercoat.

The M.C.R. 9 (magic carpet ride) is the newest member of the Niner's steel family. Based on the ever popular S.I.R. 9, the M.C.R. 9 has a custom-drawn Reynolds 853 frame designed for gears only. Similar to the AIR 9, Niner re-designed the frame with a standard bottom bracket shell to save weight for those who know they will never run their steel bike as a single speed. Ride quality is that heavenly combination of forgiving steel compliance with razor sharp steering precision for the perfect back country epic. Ride this 100% Reynolds steel frame to find out for yourself why this is called the magic carpet ride.

Frame: Custom drawn Reynolds 853 main triangle with size specific tubing.

Frame Weight: (Med):4.3lbs.

The One 9 is the lightest 29er single speed frame on the market. Made with the same custom drawn Easton GX2 Scandium as its geared brother, the One 9 delivers high performance through advanced tubing and tubing mainipulation. From the outset, the One 9 had seemingly simple design objective: create the best-riding single speed possible. This meant that Niner wanted a blazing fast frame, with no discernible flex at the bottom bracket or through to the rear wheel without creating an overly harsh ride. Niner went to Easton and worked directly with them on the tube set to meet these goals, creating a frame that did exactly what Niner was after: a fast, nimble, but comfortable ride.

In addition to the front triangle, the rear s-bend chain stays and seat stays do more than look good. The tubing has been shaped for maximum horizontal stiffness while still allowing for some vertical compliance. Rounding out the package is Niner's own super light eccentric bottom bracket, allowing for easy wheel removal with the disc brake and versatility in EBB positions (high or low) to tune your ride for your terrain and riding style. The One 9 fuses the most technically advanced tube set on the market with the simplicity of a single speed and proven Niner geometry to give you a completely fresh riding experience. No chain chatter, no gears, just pure, unadulterated fun.



Frame: custom butted and drawn Easton Scandium GX2 tubing.

Frame Weight: (Med): 3.4lbs.
Sizes:SM-XL.
Color:Godzilla Green, Hot Tamale or Tang, Powdercoat only.
