Niner E.M.D. 9 1-Star Complete Bike Red, S Description

When it comes to 26in full suspension bikes in this price bracket, you"re not going to find one that can match the potential of Niner"s E.M.D. 9 1-Star Complete Bike. That may seem like a bold statement, but there are key factors that make the 29er hardtail platform superior when it comes to pure quality on the trail. A price ceiling causes manufacturers to make compromises. When you try to package bearings, links, and a rear shock into a frame, production and design costs increase quickly -- and those components are moving parts, or high-wear items. Niner"s E.M.D. 9 forgoes that complexity, added weight, and future maintenance hassles, enabling it to focus on frame tuning, while allowing budget room to spec" the E.M.D. 9 1-Star Complete a notch above what a comparable 26in FS can permit. As its name suggests, Niner has a head start when it comes to 29er technology. And while the E.M.D. lacks some of the bells and whistles of Niners top-tier bikes, it still rolls with the same hydroformed tubing, attention to detail, and trail-oriented geometry as its more expensive stablemates. In fact, the E.M.D. 9 relies on the AIR 9s proven geometry in order to give the E.M.D. 9 quick handling, stability at speed, and plenty of stand-over clearance. Sharing the general design of the Air 9, the E.M.D. 9 uses a lightweight, hydroformed alloy tube set that provides a compliant ride,while a tapered head tube ensures strength and steering precision. Niner used extensive computer-aided finite element analysis, as well as a mess of real-world testing, to perfect the E.M.D. 9"s tube shapes. These tubes, when combined with widespread forging and CNC machining, ensure an optimum balance of strength to weight. The development investment on the E.M.D. 9 frame is ensures that the advantages of a hardtail really shine. Unlike full-suspension bikes, where pedal energy is lost to flex and suspension compression, the wide, swooping stays and sturdy bottom bracket junction allow the E.M.D.
