29" WHEELS // HARDTAIL // 150MM FRONT

THE ORIGINAL HARDCORE TARDTAIL, REIMAGINED.

When Lance Canfield set about creating a new version of a bike as beloved as the N9, he was careful to preserve the key geometry, durability and other characteristics that have made it so popular while blending it with the revered ride quality and visual appeal of titanium. The Nimble 9 has been imbued with the suppleness and responsiveness of the new material, but is just as playful and intuitive, ensuring it still lives up to its name. It also tips the scales at a full pound and a half less than its steel counterpart.

Canfield Nimble 9 News and Reviews

NIMBLE DNA - 14 YEARS IN THE MAKING

Introducing theTi Nimble 9, a limited-edition titanium evolution of our beloved steel hardtail, crafted for riders who demand the best.

Only 100 will be produced, and they will only be available via pre-order for a short time.

Titanium is renowned for its perfect balance of strength, compliance, and weight savings. The Ti Nimble 9 shaves 1.5 lbs off the steel version while maintaining the same aggressive all-mountain geometry, making it a precision hardtail built to charge downhills and climb effortlessly.

The Nimble 9 is a head-turner in titanium with a raw, brushed finish and a combination of sand-blasted and laser-etched logos. The frame is also the first to debut a redesigned Canfield logo. But the Titanium Nimble 9 is as brawny as it is beautiful. It’s crafted from oversized Ti-3AL-2.5V tubing and features a flared design at the headtube and bottom-bracket for additional stiffness in crucial areas. Having passed the same extensive testing as other Canfield frames, the Nimble 9 is just as tough in titanium as it is in steel.

In addition to receiving minor updates to its namesake’s dialed geometry, the Ti N9 shares its sliding dropouts and all of its component sizing (with the exception of seat-tube diameter) to streamline compatibility and make it even easier for current N9 owners to upgrade and swap builds. Post insertion/internal routing depth has been increased across sizes to accommodate today’s longer travel droppers. The Titanium Nimble 9 is also the first Canfield frame to be offered in XXL sizing.

A masterpiece of engineering and artistry, the Titanium Nimble 9 is the culmination of 14 years of innovation that once again challenges preconceptions of mountain bikes with both big wheels and rigid rear-ends.
