want one so bad

It’s a shame you don’t want a large Air9c as Bikelahave got one in their sale

I’m considering buying the Air 9 alloy version. Anyone here got one and what do you think of it? I’ll use it as a second bike for races, more XC, longer days out etc

Can’t help on the Alloy version, but look at the MTBR link above when lots of owners live & breath.

I’ve collected the new EBB2 today, when I get back I’ll fit it with some plumbers paste, dial it in and forget it for 9 years 😆

Stif had a rigid Air9C with xx1 on it in green, blooming lovely looking bike.
I’m tempted later in the year, still SS it maybe get a dangler for it too.. I liked the look of the green one.

@Flange, that’s proper bike porn 😀

There’s something about the Air9 Carbon, it just looks ‘right’
I can’t afford the carbon but its tempting to get an Air9 in stealthy black to replace my El Mariachi frame!

Shame it will only take upto a 32t XX1 front ring, it would be high on the want list if you could fit lager chain rings.

If there’s a risk of chainring/frame interference with a 32t, I wonder if using the 168mm Q factor would allow use of a bigger chain ring?
