Overview

About this bike

Niner’s JET 9 RDO is most at home in mountain bike stage races, epic endurance races, and on the podium. The frame features their RDO carbon compaction process, which results in less material and more consistent wall thickness for the strength and reliability you expect from Niner with even less weight. The CVA linkage and Fox Factory CTD shock offer 100mm of super-efficient travel. A 142 x 12mm rear thru-axle delivers a high degree of stiffness for efficient pedaling and precise handling. The RDO frame ensures luxury and performance with Enduro Magnetite Black bearings in the linkage for smooth, frictionless suspension and an ultra-lightweight paint that shaves 40-50 grams. Niner’s JET 9 RDO 5-Star makes no comprises. The near-perfect XTR 2 x 11-speed drivetrain provides all the gears you need, quick, decisive shifting, and seamless power transmission from your legs to the ground. The XTR brakeset is equally refined, offering a phenomenal lever feel and power you can trust, all in a remarkably lightweight package. The RockShox Pike RC fork ensures precise steering, smooths small bumps, and takes big hits with ease. Niner’s own Carbon XC wheels are, stiff, responsive hoops wrapped in Maxxis’ Ikon 3C/EXO tires, which have the traction to stick every corner. The RockShox Reverb dropper post instantly adjusts saddle height giving you control on the climbs and descents. Niner included their RDO carbon handlebar and race-ready Niner touch points. They didn’t compromise, so you don’t have to, either.
