Overview
About this bike
Niner’s AIR 9 RDO is designed with cross-country racing in mind. With the culmination of over ten years of research, design, and rigorous lab and real-world testing, The AIR 9 RDO is ready tackle your short track, cross-country, marathon, or ultra-endurance goals. The Air 9 RDO is beautiful from the inside out because of Niner’s Carbon Compaction System, which utilizes rigid internal molds for tighter, more consistent carbon compaction and precise wall thicknesses, or more precisely: more strength with less material. The AIR 9 RDO accommodates up to a 120mm-travel fork for stable, precise steering and handling that lets you relax, stay confident, and focus on being fast. Niner’s AIR 9 RDO 3-Star XT build curates the best components to give you a flyweight race machine. Fox gets down to business with a 32 Float FIT4 and Kashima-coated fork with 100mm of course-taming travel. Shimano’s XT 2 x 11-speed drivetrain is more than capable of turning your well-earned power into sheer speed, offering a huge gear range and smooth, reliable shifting. Though your friends swear you cannot be stopped, Shimano’s XT brakes beg to differ; with the ability to lock it up or modulate as needed, you’ll be faster, smoother, and more controlled. 29-inch Stan’s Arch EX wheels and Maxxis Ikon tires ensure quick acceleration and a wide, tacky grip through loose corners.
