| Features | TAPERED HEADTUBE The E.M.D. 9 features a tapered headtube. The benefits of a tapered headtube aren’t just for riders of long travel bikes. The increased surface area of a tapered headtube allows for a larger downtube, increasing strength and rigidity at this critical intersection. Tapered fork steerer tubes measurably reduce fork deflection, which means your Niner tracks straight and true. The full spectrum of riders from XC racers to All Mountain shredders benefit from these features which is why we incorporate the technology in all our new frames. The E.M.D. 9 lets you take full advantage of increased steering precision as you carve a corner and descend toward the finish. HYDROFORMED DOWNTUBE AND TOPTUBE Because of the larger welding area created by the new tapered headtube we are able to include a new, massive hydroformed downtube as well as a significantly larger diameter toptube, contributing to a much stronger frame. By allowing for the use of the newest generation of 1.5” tapered steerer suspension forks and integrated headset, we create the stiffest front end possible – with the same stack height as our original E.M.D. 9 model. NINER HARDTAIL GEOMETRY As verified over and over again in independent reviews, Niner has hardtail 29er geometry dialed. Climbing or descending, the geometry of the E.M.D. 9 is tuned to for great handling and rider positioning. The E.M.D. 9 is intended for 80 to 100mm forks, allowing you to fine tune your ride. |
