The Air 9 aluminum hardtail blends the agility and efficiency of a pedal-friendly XC bike with the versatility, toughness and capability of a rowdy trail rig. Lightweight and snappy, poppy and peppy, the AIR 9 has plenty of stiffness to get you up to speed when you stomp on the pedals. 
[R]evolution geometry puts the rider in the sweet, balanced spot on the bike. The roomy cockpit has a comfortable reach for short stem lengths, giving you quick handling and plenty of maneuverability to blast through rock gardens and cut hard corners. The steep 74-degree seat angle gets you centered over the BB for climbing and pairs nicely with the short 430mm chainstay length for supreme pedaling efficiency.. And of course, the slack, 68-degree head tube angle and long wheelbase contribute stability and self-confidence when you’re dropping into the steepest lines.

If you're looking for a dose of simplicity, this 3-Star Shimano singlespeed build is your ticket. Single Speed bikes are lighter, simpler, quieter, and often more reliable than their geared counterparts. With purity comes peace.

  • 6061 Aluminum Frame: Hydroformed aluminum blends stiffness and comfort in a durable package.
