GEOMETRY KEY, FRAME SIZE SELECTION & COMPONENT SELECTION
Does the setup of my Niner affect how it will perform and/or handle?
Yes. All of the items in the list below (and myriad unlisted choices) can
help you to customize your Niner’s ride feel and fit:
• Frame size selection
• Fork Travel/Length
• Fork setup
• Wheel retention devices (Maxle/QR, etc.)
• Rear suspension set up
• Stem length & bar width
• Wheel & tire selection & set up
You have many choices as to what components you choose to use with
your Niner bike. You also have many choices to make when it comes to
how you set up these components. The choices you make can dramatically
alter the character of your bicycle. In general, this is a good thing.
However, We cannot predict every new product that may come to the
market and as such we cannot guarantee that every future product will be
compatible with our frames.
For basic size recommendations see the chart to the right. For additional
advice or for further info on component selection and set up, see your
Niner dealer.

maneuverable ride or sizing up for more stability.
The best way to determine which size is for you is to test ride a Niner at
one of our dealers or demo events.
