Overview
About this bike
For fast and rowdy rides that find your tires airborne as often as they're glued to the trail, Niner's got the bike for you. The RIP 9 RDO 3-Star 29er features a 160mm Fox 36 Float Factory fork paired to a Float DPX2 Factory EVOL rear shock to complement the supreme-handling CVA suspension. A SRAM GX Eagle 1x12 drivetrain has impressive gear range to keep up with your hard-charging antics, and Guide R hydraulic disc brakes enable confidence on mind-bending descents. Boost hub spacing sets your stance wide for increased stability in the rough stuff and plays nice with varying wheel sizes so you can take advantage of mid-fat traction with a swap to 27.5+ wheels and tires. And when the trail turns downright demanding, keep your cool knowing the KS Lev SI seatpost and Race Face cockpit components are there to give you loads of control.
