Niner ONE 9 (2012)

The Niner One 9 is one of our first and best-loved models - a sexy, light-as-a-feather singlespeed for racing and epic XC rides. This upgraded version integrates hydroformed tubing throughout. More than a cosmetic feature, hydroforming allows us to shape tubes and optimize strength and stiffness in key areas, giving us the ability to create beautifully tuned frames withprecise ride characteristics. You will find hydroforming in the toptube, downtube, headtube, chainstays and seatstays. Because of the larger welding area created by the new tapered headtube, we are able to include a massive hydroformed downtube as well as a significantly larger diameter toptube, contributing to a much stronger frame. Chainstays, seat tube and seatstays also benefit from hydroforming via controlled wall thicknesses and enhanced butting profiles. This translates to a rear triangle that is tuned for stiffness, strength and vertical compliance – in other words, ideal ride feel.
