Mountain Bikes
Momentum Cycles is very proud to be one of the countries largest Trek, Gary Fisher and Niner bikes Dealers.
"The 69er is arguably Trek's most racing-influenced bike: Travis Brown himself was instrumental in pushing its development and six-time 24 Hours of Adrenaline World Solo Champion Chris Eatough used one to win the recent Lumberjack 100 and Mohican 100 National Ultra-Endurance Series (NUE). Eatough had championed Trek's 26" wheeled Top Fuel for each of his six championships but has apparently been smitten with the 69er's enhanced ability to roll over objects with its 29" front wheel while still preserving the stiff rear end, light chassis weight, familiar gear ratios, quick acceleration, and climbing prowess of the 26" rear wheel.

Trek's 2007 69er offerings were limited to a sole singlespeed hardtail, but 2008 sees two new models, both benefiting from a crossover of Fisher G2 geometry: a 3x9 geared hardtail based on the singlespeed frame, and a full suspension geared bike with 100mm and 90mm of rear and front wheel travel, respectively, and the existing R1 rear end instead of the newer R1i design." --cycling news
As mountain biking continues to evolve, Fisher evolves to stay ahead of it. Since the introduction of Genesis Geometry in the mid 90s, trails have become more technical and tighter structure is now commonplace. This makes slower-speed handling more important than ever. We believe that Fisher Genesis Geometry is best suited for the types of trails we have in this region.
Although Gary Fisher has been making bikes around 29 inch wheels longer than anybody, only Ninerbikes are solely committed to the 29 inch revolution. Unlike some other brands, "R&D" does not stand for Ripoff and Duplicate. Niner's research concluded that 29 inch wheel mountain bikes built around a 26" wheel geometry yielded a much slower and sluggish handling mountain bike. So, by tweaking the geometry specifically around 29" wheels, Ninerbikes created a bike most at home when the trails get tight, twisty and technical which are indigenous to Missouri.
