New Shimano XTR Tubular Carbon Wheels

As I was checking out the latest and greatest bikes from Niner, I spotted something entirely new on one of their bikes: Brand-new carbon XTR rims from Shimano! A little digging around reveals that these are a brand-new tubular mountain bike wheel setup. The wheels I spotted were running a Schwalbe Racing Ralph tubular tire. …

Review: Niner Jet 9

The Jet 9 from Niner is a trail-ready 100mm full suspension 29er. Weighing in at one pound more than the carbon-framed Jet 9 RDO, the the aluminum-framed Jet 9 still tips the scales at a respectable ~26lbs with pedals. The four-star build kit (tested) includes a full X0 2×10 drivetrain, X0 brakes, Rock Shox SID …

Niner W.F.O. Test Ride

Niner is a Shiner at Interbike

Last month I got a chance to stop by the Niner booth at Interbike to chat with Carla about big wheel bikes. Believe it or not, I still haven’t personally ridden a Niner so it was torture for me to see such beautiful 29ers on display with nowhere to ride them. Carla and I chatted …
