The Nimble 9 was designed to be the most nimble 29er on the market, hence the name. At 5.5 lbs (Large), it’s light enough to be built as a cross country terrain eating monster. With horizontal rear dropouts and a derailleur hanger, you can build it up as a single speed or geared. The Nimble 9 is the right combination of light weight, nimble geometry and Canfield Brothers innovation.
