29" WHEELS // HARDTAIL // 150MM FRONT
🔥 The first-ever Ti Nimble 9 launch was a huge success. We have ONE large frame left for one lucky rider. If that's not your size and you'd like to know when we plan another run, hit the notify me button to get alerts. (No ETA presently for another round.)
The Canfield Ti Nimble 9 is the evolution of an icon—our legendary steel hardtail reimagined in titanium for unparalleled ride quality, strength, and agility. Precision-crafted from oversized Ti-3AL-2.5V tubing, this limited-edition frame blends the supple, responsive feel of titanium with the playful, all-mountain capability that has made the Nimble 9 a fan favorite for over a decade.
The Ti Nimble 9 retains the aggressive all-mountain geometry that defines the N9—long, low, and slack with a 150mm fork—but now weighs a full 1.5 pounds less than its steel counterpart, giving riders even more confidence to charge technical descents and power up climbs.

Absolutely beautiful bike
Hey Jacob, Appreciate it! Stoked you’re loving the Ti Nimble 9. It’s a beautiful piece of metal magic. Awesome to hear you’re as happy on it as we are.
My new Ti Nimble 9 just arrived and I’m building it up now. It a beautiful thing to behold.
Hey Justin, Right on,stoked to hear your Ti Nimble 9 has landed! That frame’s a beauty! Can’t wait to see it built up and ready to shred. Welcome to the Canfield family — you’re gonna love how it rides.
Stopped by the shop in Poncha Springs, Lance and company helped me pick all my parts for the build and hooked me up my dream hardtail! Nimble 9 does it all and looks good doing it.
Hey James,
That’s some serious stoke—“Dopest dope” might be the best Nimble 9 review yet. Stoked Lance and the crew helped you put together that dream build. Props on the awesome rig, and thanks for riding Canfield—ride it hard and enjoy every mile!
I recently picked up the Nimble 9 Frame for the wife as a fun do-it-most adventure bike. I set it up singlespeed with a mix of XT/SLX bits and 2.6 Rekon tires and set her on her way. She's loving it so far. I hopped on it, despite it being a size too small for me, and am impressed at how compliant the bike feels. I have a Chameleon for my SS hardtail and while the geo is more aggressive the ride does feel a bit harsher than the Nimble 9. Must be the steel :)
The bike built up easy with the only surprise being the IS brake mounts on the rear. Fortunately, I've been biking forever and had some IS to PM adapters in the bike part bin. The color is way nicer in person with the silver flake making the blue pop! Overall we're both really stoked on this bike!
Hey William,
Love this! Sounds like a super fun build for your wife—and stoked to hear the Nimble 9 is hitting the mark for both of you. That steel ride feel really is something else.
Glad the build went smooth (bonus points for having that adapter on hand!). Appreciate the support—enjoy the adventures ahead together!
Loving my Nimble 9! I got the Cherry Cola metal flake finish and it’s a head turner!
I’ve run this both geared and single speed. Handling is great, super quick and responsive.
More people have stopped me to look at this bike than any other.
If you are on the fence about getting a steel frame, just get this one!
Hey Joseph,
Love hearing how much you’re digging the Nimble 9—and that Cherry Cola finish really does turn heads! Sounds like you’ve got it built just right, whether geared or SS.
Appreciate the great feedback—and thanks for sending the pic and repping Canfield out there!
Just built up my new Nimble 9. Build went super easy, and this is going to be an amazing bike. Super excited to put it through its paces. Definitely made the right choice!
Hey Andrew,
Really appreciate the shoutout! Hope you’ve been tearing it up on that Nimble 9 since the build—it sounds like a perfect match.
Glad you’re loving it, and thanks for rolling with us! Cheers!
The paint job was way better than expected! Going to start building her up in a few days. Can’t wait for the first ride!
Hi David,
Thank you for your review. We're so glad to hear that you're happy with the paint job of your NIMBLE 9 frame. We can't wait for you to start building and take it out for its first ride. Happy trails & feel free to share photos too!
Love my nimble 9. I’ve wanted one for at least 15 years and to finally own it at the perfect time is awesome! The purple haze is the amazing. Get more compliments on this bike than any other bike ever. And let me tell you, it deserves em.
Hi CM,
It’s worth the wait! We’re thrilled to hear how much you’re loving your Nimble 9 and It’s awesome to hear it’s getting the recognition it deserves. Ride on and enjoy all those well-earned compliments!
