Niner has dominated the big wheeled bike market since the dawn of the 29’er craze. To them, it’s not about a larger wheel size, or more accommodating geometry, it’s about sharing an entirely unique experience on two wheels. Since they began in a humble Fort Collins, Co office, Niner has focused intently on building the rowdiest and most innovative big-wheeled bikes on the market. Their RIP 9 RDO series prides itself on a meticulously designed carbon fiber frame. In the process of designing this frame, Niner has revolutionized the way a long-travel, large-wheeled bike performs. The rear suspension is remarkably versatile, counteracting squat and bob to absorb shock without stealing from your pedal stroke. With short chainstays and a low bottom bracket, this bike is remarkably fun for a 29’er.
The new 2018 2 Star build comes with the epic 12 speed SRAM Eagle group. The 12 speed cassette features a 10-50T range, giving you the upper hand on a vast array of trails. Sprint, climb, cruise, or descend, and do it all with precision. The SRAM brakes in the front and rear flaunt 180mm rotors to provide excellent handling. Wide Race Face bars and a short stem place you in the optimal attack position in the cockpit. A KS dropper post lets you blend your climbs and descents seamlessly. The Niner wheels come complete with the iconic Maxxis Minion Tires to give you complete control without slowing you down. If you are looking for a fun and versatile bike, you just found it. But get it while it’s hot, for there are hammers to be dropped.
