It can also carry a whole lot of stuff.​

Built from Reynolds 853 steel, Niner says the hardtail SIR 9 is balanced, playful, and confidence inspiring. The bike uses the same trail geometry that was developed for the RIP 9 and JET 9 trail bikes. It also has boost hub spacing for 27.5+ and 29er wheels. And it boasts a whopping 18 mounting options for bottles, bags, racks, and fenders. Let the bike packing adventures begin.
