NIMBLE 9 - Chrome (Frame Only)

29" WHEELS // HARDTAIL // 150MM FRONT 

The original hardcore hardtail. Handcrafted in small batches, the Canfield Bikes Nimble 9 is a steel all-mountain hardtail built to get rowdy and designed to accommodate 29-inch, 29-plus or 27.5-plus wheels with up to 2.8-inch tires.

Combining the revered ride quality of 4130 chromoly steel with updated aggressive all-mountain geometry, the Nimble 9 challenges preconceptions of mountain bikes with both big wheels and rigid rear-ends. A slack 66-degree head-angle keeps things confident when you venture where no hardtail should, and short chainstays (adjustable down to 16.33-inches via sliding dropouts) make sure the Nimble 9 lives up to its name.

Recommended: Chrome frames do not receive the factory ED Black treatment due to the plating process. We recommend using Frame Saver to treat the inside of your frame before building to help prevent rust. Get it here.
