Hot on the heals of the new licorice black color scheme of the carbon Air 9, Niner Bikes releases the much anticipated Jet 9 RDO carbon full suspension 29er. When Niner released the Air 9 carbon, we knew the Jet 9 would eventually get the carbon treatment. It only seemed logical to bring the same [...]
2012 is going to mark a year for 29er expansion thanks to two new fork offerings out of both RockShox and Fox Racing Shox. Two distinctly different products released by both companies answer long standing wishes of 29er owners everywhere…at very different ends of the spectrum. Fox Racing Shox 34 29er Fork The Fox Racing [...]
With the widespread adoption of the 29er mountain bike in manufacturing and the mountain bike community, the growing debate of 29er vs. traditional 26″ mountain bikes is getting hot amongst riding groups. If you are in the market to upgrade your current mountain bike or get into the sport, your options are wider than ever [...]
The constant debate over 26 vs 29 inch wheels is going to be the argument of the decade.

The sport and the lifestyle extends past our dirt encounters and spreads into our lives outside of cycling. In an effort to keep the stoke rolling on and off the [...]
Can you remember a time when 29ers weren’t prevalent at your local trail head?

However, it wasn’t that long ago that 29ers didn’t [...]
I just received a pretty cool email from the crew over at Niner Bikes. The attached press release (below) and picture (credit: C.A. Smith | casmithphotography.com) you see above is Chris Cugai and Steve Domahidy of Niner Bikes delivering a Niner Jet 9 to former President George W. Bush. President Bush has been known for [...]
Wade Simmons has apparently been ripping up North Shore on 29ers with the argument that the newest geometry releases are much more conducive to more aggressive styled riding. For a niche market in mountain biking that has been pretty much segregated to the XC and Light AM side of mountain biking, this is an interesting [...]
The past week or so has contained some stressful events both personally and professionally. As any seasoned mountain biker knows, the best way to shrug off the stress and get your head straight is to get out and ride…so that’s what I did. This past Saturday, I grabbed my rigid, SS, 29er and hit the [...]

So here are a few pics of the all new, 2009 W.F.O. 9. This bike is for real but you’ll have to wait for early 2009 to get one. And so is the fork. We’re launching the W.F.O. with Marzocchi and their all new 2010 Marzocchi 44 29er fork.
