Niner Air 9 2-Star GX Fox Bike 2018
Niner Air 9 2 Star Bike 2018Light and Simple ReliabilityWith their years of expert crafting and precision, Niner takes pride in building their bikes. Highly innovative and forward thinking, they're one of the most revered brands in cycling. Since their early days they have known the importance of perfecting their frame materials and geometry. Their latest Air 9 has both bases covered. A low bottom bracket and short rear end make the bike tight and nimble when the terrain beckons, and the steep head tube angle gives it the chops to climb like a goat. In 2018, they have also shortened the rear end and slackened the headtube angle.Niner's Air 9 frame is nothing short of iconic. It combines World Cup tested geometry and high end alloy reliability. The new AIR 9 is comprised of hydroformed aluminum, a light and stiff material that absorbs shock and transfers power optimally. Riders benefit from years of hardtail experience with the unique ride quality of a high-end alloy frame. The feel of a hardtail like this is unique and efficient, which is why it has survived so many years punishment on the trail.The SRAM Eagle components that feature prominently on this build are also new for 2018, but their presence in the bike industry has been pretty massive for the past few years. Meeting at the perfect crux of price point and performance makes them ride at a pro level while still being attainable. The 1 x 12 drive train features an 10-50T cassette that can get you through any grade of terrain with ease. The Race Face cockpit is wide and low, offering optimal control on the trail. Niner's Alloy wheels have a low rotating weight and terrific integrity. Complete with a Fox Float Rhythm fork up front, this bike is built to smooth out the trail without smoothing out your bank account.FeaturesHydroformed Alloy frame is stiff and lightExcellent geometry lets this bike climb and descend with easeSRAM Eagle components preform awesome without blowing out the price pointNiner Alloy wheels provide fast rolling stiffnessLow and wide cockpit utilizes Race Face components to provide optimal handling SPECIFICATIONSFrameNINER AIR 9ForkFOX 34 FLOAT RHYTHM GRIP EVOL, SWEEP ADJUST, 120MM, 110X15MMRear ShockN/AHeadsetNINER INTEGRATED SHIS DESCRIPTION IS42/28.6|IS52/41ShiftersSRAM GX EAGLE 12SPFront DerailleurN/ARear DerailleurSRAM GX EAGLE 12SPCranksetSRAM STYLO 7K EAGLE PF30 32TBottom BracketSRAM PF30PedalsN/AChainSRAM GX EAGLE 12SPCassetteSRAM EAGLE XG 1275, 10-50TBrakesSRAM GUIDE RWheelsetNINER ALLOY BOOSTTires29" MAXXIS ARDENT F60 SC 2.4 FRONT, 2.25 REARHandlebarRACE FACE AEFFECT R 20MM RISE, 35MM CLAMP, 780MM WIDTHStemRACE FACE AEFFECT R 35MM CLAMP, 50MM LENGTHGripsNINER GRRRIPS L/O NYLON FLANGEDSeatpostKS LEV INTEGRA SISeatclampNINERSaddleNINER CUSTOM TR WITH CR-MO RAILS, PRINTED NINER GRAPHICIntended UseCross Country, TrailWeightTBANote: Components are subject to change without notice.GEOMETRY (mm / inch)SizeExtra SmallSmallMediumLargeExtra LargeA: Seat Tube Length356 14.0394 15.5419 16.5483 19.0533 21.0B: Effective Top Tube570 22.4585 23.0603 23.7627 24.7652 25.7C: Stack610 24.0610 24.0620 24.4634 24.9652 25.7D: Reach395 15.5410 16.1425 16.7445 17.5465 18.3E: BB Height- -- -- -- -- -F: BB Drop52 2.0552 2.0552 2.0552 2.0552 2.05G: Head Tube Length100 3.9100 3.9110 4.3125 4.9145 5.7H: Head Tube Angle68.0 deg68.0 deg68.0 deg68.0 deg68.0 degI: Seat Tube Angle74.0 deg74.0 deg74.0 deg74.0 deg74.0 degJ: Standover Height698 27.5729 28.7748 29.5800 31.5841 33.1K: Chainstay Length430 16.9430 16.9430 16.9430 16.9430 16.9L: Wheelbase1102 43.41117 44.01136 44.71162 45.81189 46.8Suggested Rider Height153-165cm 5'0"-5'5"160-175cm 5'3"-5'9"173-183cm 5'8"-6'0"180-191cm 5'11"-6'3"191-201cm 6'3"-6'7"
