    Preview: Niner Expands Its Jet 9 Lineup | bikemag.com |  The matter of street cred is of little consequence when it comes to Niner and 29-inch bikes. Structured entirely around the wheel size—right down to the name of the company—the brand has obviously made an unwavering commitment to big wheels.
