Niner Bikes coming to Liberty Bikes in July.

Niner Bikes do only one thing and they do it well. Their entire range consists of 29ers, from steel, alloy and carbon frame hardtails to alloy and carbon dual suspension weapons. From precision XC race bikes to all-out Freeride beasts, Niner have it dialled.

Niner make their steel frames from Reynolds 853 tubing to supply a superior ride quality at low weight penalty. The 2012 SIR9 (stands for 'Steel Is Real') has many of the features of a carbon 29er. It accepts a suspension fork with a tapered steerer and has spacing for a 142x12 rear axle which add to the overall stiffness of the completed bike. The real advantage of the SIR9 is its versatility, with the Niner 'Bio-centric' bottom bracket, the bike can be run as a single speed or with gears. The 2012 SIR 9 will be available sometime in September and we are taking pre-orders, however there are a few deals on 2011 SIR9's around so get in touch with us to find out sizes and colour availability. They still have the 'Bio-centric' BB but can't accept tapered steerers and have 135mm quick release spacing for the rear axle.

For those who are looking for an XC and/or enduro bike to add to the quiver we have a large Jet9 demo bike available for you to try before you part with your hard currency.
The Jet9 has 80mm of Niner's very efficient CVA suspension.
Here's a link to a video explaining some of the Jet9's features.

And finally for the racers there is the Air9 carbon. One of the lightest carbon race bikes on the market the Air9 Carbon has taken out many races including the Single Speed World Champs in NZ. This bike is as versatile as the SIR9 using the 'Bio-centric' bottom bracket to run either Single speed or geared drivetrains. We have a Black Licorice Medium frame on the way but other sizes and colours are available.

Our first run of frames will arrive in the next fortnight, here's what we have:

EMD9 (geared alloy frame) - $699 (Hot Tomale Red - Medium)
AIR9 Carbon (Geared or SS) - $2449 (Black Licorice - Medium)
MCR9 (steel geared frame) - $1125 (Moondust Grey - Large)
