The re-designed Jet 9 frameset will be available Spring 2010. Highlights of the re-designed frameset will included Hydroformed tubing, a tapered headtube, and forged frame pieces. All of these improvements will greatly increase frame stiffness and durability without a weight penalty.
JET 9– Fast, light, race-ready full suspension frame
The Jet 9 is designed around the same award winning CVA™ suspension system found on Niner’s other suspension frames, the Jet 9 features 80mm of plush, fully active travel.
Speed was the main design concept of the Jet 9, and the geometry is focused on a balance between stability and maneuverability. The 72° head tube angle is based on an 80mm travel FOX fork and is designed to give the same precise steering as Niner’s hardtail frames. All linkage pivots are outfitted with full complement sealed cartridge bearings for a smooth, friction-free suspension, and a custom valved FOX RP23 shock offers superb bump compliance and damping. New forged linkage increases strength and stiffness without any penalty in weight.
80mm of travel combined with a 29” wheel creates an amazingly smooth ride at an incredibly respectable weight, making the Jet 9 the perfect weapon for everything from your local race scene to the all day epic. If it’s speed you are looking for, the Jet 9 will get you from zero to hero in the skip of a heartbeat.
