Niner Bikes Expands Jet 9 Family

Niner has released info and images of the newly expanded Jet 9 family of bikes – their XC full
suspension platform. The complete line up now includes Jet 9 RDO, Jet 9 Carbon and Jet 9 alloy
options.

“We are focused on ride quality at Niner, and the new Jet 9 RDO is about details - the carbon
rocker is a custom design and the 142mm maxle gives riders even more power transfer efficiency
on what is already a very fast platform.” said Niner president Chris Sugai, “The introduction of the
Jet 9 Carbon is the beginning of something new at Niner - a great complete bike option for riders
who want to get onto their first carbon Niner. We’ve set up this build to be dependable and fun
to ride, in cooperation with our friends at Rock Shox, American Classic, Shimano and Schwalbe.
Additionally, we are now able to offer both carbon frames in size extra small with a stand-over
height of 26.5”/672mm – greatly expanding the range of riders that our bikes will fit”.

spec’d with a Fox Float CTD Kashima coated rear shock and high-end Enduro Max Magnetite
Black sealed bearings. It is available in Niner Green for the initial production runs and begins
