I am reluctantly looking to sell my Bird AM9 V3! This bike has been my pride and joy for the last couple of years but just isn’t likely to get the use to justify keeping it. I have suffered a couple of off the bike injuries in the past year and its pushing me further away from Enduro/Trail and more into XC and Gravel. For this reason, the bike hasn’t been ridden since December 2022.

I am not absolutely desperate to sell so I won’t be giving it away.

Other items to note;

The fork was specified as Rockshox Lyrik Select but the damper has been replaced and upgrade to the Charger 2.1 following a warranty issue.

There is a little damage on the paintwork on the top tube of the frame which has been covered with some plastic, it’s only cosmetic. There are obvious signs of wear that you’d expect from a mountain bike. It has been raced and ridden in some great places and its capable of much more than I can ever do!
