29" WHEELS // HARDTAIL // 150MM FRONT
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.

Customer Reviews
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!
Great service. Quick shipping and excellent communication. This is why I chose to go with Canfield! Nimble 9 is so fun by the way!
Hi Matt,
Thank you for your kind words. It means a lot to us to know you’re enjoying your experience with Canfield. The Nimble 9 is such a blast to ride—glad you’re loving it. Here’s to countless thrilling adventures ahead, Cheers!
The Nimble 9 is the only bike that I’ve ever had that people walk up to and ask if it’s a Nimble 9. The ride is just as iconic. A great steel frame.
Hi Tony,
We’re stoked to know that you’re having a great experience with your Nimble 9 and thank you very much for taking the time to share this with us. Keep rolling & wishing you more iconic rides!
Got the nimble 9 frame in sweet purple! Built this up as a mullet bike. Man do I love this frame!! So much fun, fast ,nimble and great!a fan of steel is real!!! Thank you guys!!
I watched a lot of videos and reviews and could not be happier with my purchase. Very light for a steel frame, and extremely responsive.
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.
