Niner AIR 9 29 - 2-Star - Silver-Baja Blue - 2021

The Air 9 aluminum hardtail blends the agility and efficiency of a pedal-friendly XC bike with the versatility, toughness and capability of a rowdy trail rig. Lightweight and snappy, poppy and peppy, the AIR 9 has plenty of stiffness to get you up to speed when you stomp on the pedals.  

[R]evolution geometry puts the rider in the sweet, balanced spot on the bike. The roomy cockpit has a comfortable reach for short stem lengths, giving you quick handling and plenty of maneuverability to blast through rock gardens and cut hard corners. The steep 74-degree seat angle gets you centered over the BB for climbing and pairs nicely with the short 430mm chainstay length for supreme pedaling efficiency.. And of course, the slack, 68-degree head tube angle and long wheelbase contribute stability and self-confidence when you’re dropping into the steepest lines.

Hit the trail big with the 2-Star SRAM SX build, without a big hit to your wallet. Thanks to SRAM's outstanding SX Eagle drivetrain, you can bring every ounce of AIR 9 performance to bear at an affordable price level.
