The new "Jet" model is designed for racing and performance-oriented trail use. This is evidenced by the 100 millimetres of suspension travel at the rear, while a fork with 100 or 120 millimetres of travel can be installed at the front. As with the previous fullys, Niner relies on a further development of the VPP suspension system. The lower rocker link now rides around the bottom bracket and is attached to the side of the down tube. The frame also has a low top tube for increased freedom of movement. The rear triangle is also made entirely of carbon. The gear cables are routed inside the frame. Niner does not specify the weight of the frame or a complete bike. The price in Swiss francs has not yet been fixed, but is likely to be around 3000 francs for a frame kit. Swiss importer Simon Ruchti has given the end of July / beginning of August as the first delivery date.

In addition to the specifications on technology and workmanship, the Jet impresses with its excellent looks. The bike is a real eye-catcher. The repeated criticism that bikes with large wheels look strange is more than refuted by Niner.
