If you’re one of those self-proclaimed cardiovascular freaks, you’ll be appropriately super-pumped to hear that the Niner doesn’t disappoint when it comes to a trail workout either.

Addictively competitive
If there’s any hint of competitiveness in your blood the acceleration of the 10.87kg bike will rapidly become addictive and you’ll use it to rip the legs off fellow riders whenever you get the chance.
