Kirt Voreis' showed up at Sea Otter with a new dual slalom rig, but this isn't a one-off specialty item - it's actually a prototype of a 140mm trail bike that Niner is working on. The final name hasn't been settled on yet, and the specifics are still under wraps, but there is one obvious detail about the bike that separates it from the rest of Niner's lineup: those 27.5" wheels. Niner have made a 27.5+ bike before, but when this rig debuts this will be the Colorado company's first true 27.5" bike.
The un-named bike uses Niner's Constant Varying Arc (CVA) suspension design, with the carbon swingarm joined to the front triangle and shock by two links.

I think that says something important.
Set of Cojones: Cojones is a Spanish word, and a loan word in English, that can mean: Testicles, in profane slang. Courage or boldness, as in the expression "tener cojones", equivalent to the English idiom "having a lot of balls
