Niner EMD 9 1-Star Deore (2015)

The new EMD 9 opens the door to Niner for all riders and will fit nicely in the outdoor enthusiast’s garage of envy. Nestled amongst the quiver of skis, whitewater kayak or climbing racks and harness, the EMD 9 will be comfortably at home awaiting all riding adventures. So when the running shoes are hung up for the offseason or the day demands a break from the pavement and the single track beckons, the EMD 9 is ready to deliver. The EMD 9 shares the same lust-worthy design roots as its siblings, at a value anyone can appreciate. The frame features all of the modern technology found across the Niner line and incorporates the ability to install a stealth routed dropper post for when the trail demands the extra confidence of dropping the saddle on the go. It’s a carefully procured, trail-ready bike build that balances performance, weight, and is easy on the budget. All designed to balance new outdoor passions with the ability to pursue it to the highest level. The EMD 9 will satisfy the need for off-road exploration by riders of all levels. These introductory builds are lovingly curated to deliver the most bang for the starter buck. The 1-Star Build is a popular choice for high school racing and great for a first niner because it's riding, not frills, that ignites passion for the trail.
