ABOUT
9:ZERO:7 was born in February of 2004 at the Susitna 100 winter endurance race in Alaska. Pushing their "fat bikes" equipped with uber-wide 44mm Snowcat rims through the night, Jamey Stull forged a friendship that ultimately resulted in the founding of Chain Reaction Cycles in Anchorage, Alaska. From this experience, Jamey and his original partner recognized both a need and a business oportunity to create a better fatbike; a fatbike that met the demands of winter cycling in Alaska.
They took their passion for fat cycling to the next level, and developed and produced one of the first aluminum fat bike, the 9:ZERO:7, named after Alaska's only area code. From there, 9:ZERO:7 has been a leader in the "plus" market, constantly inovating to provide just the right balance of performance and price.
We're not late to the game. We helped define the game.
9:ZERO:7 Titanium 2008
160mm Symmetrical
Our first entry into the fat bike market and and we went all out with this one. At just over 3 pounds, it was the lightest fat bike available while also improving tire and chain clearance.
9:ZERO:7 Aluminum 2009
135mm Offset
The first mass produced aluminum fat bike on the market! We went with a 135mm offset design to give Pugsly owners a lightweight frame to upgrade to. Our original batch of 100 frames sold out before we even had our first one in the shop to build. We knew we were on to something...
9:ZERO:7 Hydroformed AL 2011
135mm Offset /
170mm Symmetrical
This bike changed the fat bike world with its industry leading stand-over clearance. This design worked so well, we still use it in all of our bikes today.
9:ZERO:7 186mm Prototype 2012
We recognized the need early on for the ability to run 100mm rims with 5 inch tires. We built a few of these to test the concept before the industry settled on the 190/197 hub standard. We eventually went into production with a 190mm, then the 197x12mm spaced frames and hubs. But this frame got us there.
9:ZERO:7 Whiteout Carbon 2013
197mm Thru-Axle Symmetrical
Generation 1 - Matte Green/Black or Orange/Black
Generation 2 - Gloss Black w/ Orange, Green, or Purple.
The first mass produced carbon fiber fat bike on the market. With two Fat Bike Birkie wins and a Fat Bike National Championship win to its credit, this frame is the gold standard in high performance fat bikes.
9:ZERO:7 Whiteout AL 2014
197mm Thru-Axle Symmetrical
Generation 1 - Green, Orange, Polished, Purple, Black w/ White Logo
Generation 2 - Colored logo
With the advent of 197mm spacing, fatbikes saw a dramatic increase in stiffness and better clearance for a 11/12 speed cassette. Our 197mm Whiteout AL brought all these advantages to the geometry of the 190mm QR.
9:ZERO:7 Whiteout Team 2016
197mm Thru-Axle Symmetrical
Gloss Black w/ White Logo
The Team Edition is the fastest of the fast - it's crafted out of Toray T1000 carbon fiber for an incredible frameset weight of 1150 grams. That, combined with race proven geometry, makes this frame possibly the deadliest weapon in a winter racer's arsenal.
9:ZERO:7 Slider 2016
170mm QR
Ano Black/Gloss Blue with White Logo
This is the older brother of the 135mm Slider. The front end is borrowed from a Whiteout AL, while the rear of the bike is spaced to 170mm with a sliding dropout and breakaway seatstay for ultimate drivetrain versatility while still maintaining clearance for a 100mm rim and 4.8" tire.
9:ZERO:7 Tundra 2016
197mm Thru-Axle
Ano Black/Green or Teal/Gold
Tundra is a four seasons friendly successor to the classic Whiteout. It's got a shorter headtube, shorter chainstay, routing for a dropper post, and a slight weight savings for extra summertime fun. Who says a fatbike can't be a year round bike?
9:ZERO:7 Squall 2016
177mm Thru-Axle
Blue/Green or Pink/Green
Squall is the first high-end hydroformed fatbike frame designed specifically for the younger (or shorter!) rider in mind. Kids - we want you to have fun. Parents - we want you to have fun, and we want you to be able to share that with your family.
