Niner
2010 E.M.D. 9 frame
|
|
The E.M.D. 9 (Eat My Dust) is the least expensive frame in the Niner lineup, but this frame went through the same design process and had to meet the same design expectations that we require from every Niner frame. Even though we were using a less exotic material, it was our primary goal with the E.M.D. 9 to overcome the idea that all aluminum frames are harsh. Starting from scratch, we developed a 7005 series tube set that met these needs. In addition, the rear triangle receives the same s-bend curves as the Air 9, allowing for some vertical compliance of the rear wheel, meaning your body doesn’t have to take it all.
The E.M.D. 9 is finished off with the quality you have come to expect from Niner, with all of the attention to detail that every Niner frame gets, including the stainless steel Niner head badge, reamed and faced head tube and bottom bracket, chased BB threads, and faced disc brake mount tabs.
It’s important to us that everything bearing the Niner logo has been thought through from top to bottom and the E.M.D. 9 is no exception. We’ve poured our heart and soul into this frame, as much as any other, and we’ve created a fun, fast, comfortable ride that still embodies what it means to be a Niner.
