Niner's exclusive CVA™ suspension granted patent

6/27/2011

Niner Bikes' CVA (Constantly Varying Arc) Suspension Technology is now covered by U.S. Patent No.7,934,739.

“The timing on this is great,” said Chris Sugai, president of Niner Bikes. “As we predicted when Niner was founded, 29 is now a significant focus in the industry. Our early commitment to this platform means that we have the only patented suspension system developed specifically around big wheels.“

According to Niner, in addition to being designed specifically with 29ers in mind, CVA’s advantages also include efficiency across all gears – particularly important with the growing popularity of 2×10 systems.

“The dozens of positive reviews we have received around the world support CVA™ as the premier 29er suspension option. Our commitment to 29ers only enables us to refine the system for our chosen wheel size” said Sugai.

For more details, see our CVA™ suspension technology page.

Win a limited edition IMBA Air 9 Carbon Frameset

4/11/2011

You have probably seen all the pics of our beautiful new tribute to IMBA and we have lots of questions about how to acquire one. There are 2 ways to get your hands on this beautiful and very rare frameset (only 2 smalls, 3 mediums, 3 larges and 1 XL will ever be available to win.

OPTION 1: WIN A COMPLETE BIKE AT SEA OTTER

If you are headed to Sea Otter, make sure you renew or join IMBA while you are there. If you do, you will be automatically entered to win a complete Air 9 Carbon bike, in your size, in a raffle at the CLIF party. (Niner's founders will help you to pick the frame size, on the spot!). With support from our friends at Stan's NoTubes, Ergon International, SRAM, Thomson, Continental and Fizik we have put together a bike worth over $5000 - it can be yours for the price of an IMBA membership.

Raffle is on Saturday April 16 at 4:30 pm in the IMBA tent, on the green. There are a ton of other great prizes on offer to new or renewing IMBA members, and your odds of walking away with a dream bike are pretty great. Must be present to win.

OPTION 2: WIN THE ONLINE AUCTION

Can't make it to Sea Otter? Not in the USA? Don't despair! The other 8 frames will be auctioned (starting at .99 cents!) online starting on April 18. 100% of the proceeds from these auctions will be donated directly to IMBA. Keep your eyes open for the link, to be announced on Niner's facebook page at 8:30 pm, PST. Auction will run for 10 days and after that, we will not make any more of this limited edition available.

These auctions are open to most countries (with a few exceptions due to individual shipping/customs restrictions). Winners are responsible for any customs/duties. See the online auctions after April 18 for complete shipping details. Get complete details here.

MBA said, "Niner's Air 9 Carbon is a convincing argument for racers to dump their 26-inch hardtails forever. It shaved almost a minute a mile off our best time around the test circuit..."

Get yourself ready for the next race season now starting here.
