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.

Features:

  • Ultra short Chain Stays for the fastest turning 29” wheeled bike.
  • Adjustable Chain Stay length so you can run single speed or geared.
  • Radial Bent Seat Stays for an extra smooth, comfortable ride.
  • 4130 Cromoly Steel construction: strong, compliant and lasts a life time.
  • Disk Brake compatible only for the best stopping power possible.
  • Two water bottle bosses for the epic long rides or night riding.
  • Full length seat tube with a 35mm forward offset to give a 73 degree effective seat angle.
