Customer Reviews
Best cornering bike I have ever ridden. Excellent climbing characteristics and carries speed well. Superb design aesthetics too. All in all a perfect mountain bike.
This bike has been my favorite, I prefer it over my ripmo and spearfish bikes for all my local riding. It's set up 140 mm up front, and singlespeed. With the chainstay slammed, it fits a 2.30 Maxxis Aggressor easily. The sliding dropouts were a little tricky for me to center, but I figured them out and they have been solid for the past 1000 miles. It climbs Norcal single and double track nicely, and goes down anything I can ride on my big bike-though not as fast of course. A great bike.
Love my nimble niner, I have it set at the shortest chainstay and it rips! Can go down anything and climb back up to do it all over again!
Great very happy
Beautiful frame! The galaxy black looks amazing in the sun. Rides nice and smooth. I love how capable it is without having overly gnarly geo. Did a quick build with parts I already had, but I can’t wait to try it out fully built up as. I want it!
