The trick to 29er single speeding is tyre choice, and of course tubless is not even an option. The singular is my standard go-to bike on most trails here is S.A, with a thick layer of dust gathering on my on-one scandal. As always the bicycle is a humbling machine and however hard you push it always teaches you a lesson! cheers!

That thing was a hoot to ride on our local trails. I bet it would be even faster, and more fun, now with some moisture in the trails. I’m still grinning about riding the Air 9 this past summer.
