NINER RIP 9 MTB Frame

The same meticulous detail spent on the craftsmanship of our flagship RDO line was applied to our new alloy line. This means we cut no corners to deliver the highest quality bike with the best possible components, with a price to blow your mind! This new model utilizes the same [R]Evolution geometry, patented CVA suspension and Boost spacing as our RDO models creating a dream bike for riders who value a tried and true aluminum frame platform. We take great pride in producing high quality alloy frames and are committed to pushing alloy frame development just as far as we push our carbon RDO line. Built with 150mm of remarkably versatile rear suspension on a lightweight alloy frame, the RIP 9 (RIP stands for Roll In Peace) gives you all the traction, control and fun that used to be the domain of big, all mountain crushers, but without the extra pounds [R]Evolution Geometry. Focusing first on the frame, the critical feature is the [R]Evolution geometry we have tested, evaluated and carefully selected. The roomy cockpit has a comfortable reach for short stem lengths, giving you quick handling and plenty of maneuverability to go mobbing through rock gardens and barreling big berms. The steep seat angle gets you centered in the bike and pairs nicely with the short 443mm chainstay length for better pedaling efficiency than anyone deserves from a long travel trail bike. And of course the compact rear allows you to square off turns and play your way down the trail. 27.5” plus compatibility. We embrace change when it means bettering the performance of our bikes. Advances in technology are enabling us to take new approaches to design and engineering, and nothing has had a bigger effect over the last several years than the evolution of wheel dimensions. Having already adopted 29” plus and Boost spacing into our lineup, we’re now introducing another wheel option, 27.5” plus. Given its similar diameter to a 29” wheel with a trail tire, the 27.5” plus wheel adds another layer of versatility to this already amazingly capable trail bike.
