From the challenging slickrock terrain of Moab to the rugged alpine trails of the Rockies, the Niner RIP RDO 29 Mountain Bike Frame is born to shred, and most importantly, to have fun while doing it. This long travel beast has ruled Niner's mountain bike lineup for over a decade, and has seen a number of evolutions to improve the breed. For 2019 the RIP 9 evolves again, boasting 140mm of consistent and controlled CVA suspension, progressive geometry that's adjustable via flip-chip, and increased frame stiffness thanks to its Rib Cage construction. Plus it's got a lower standover height, more room for longer dropper posts, longer reach, and a shorter head tube. These changes make the RIP more capable and versatile than ever, giving riders a bike that's equally ready to nab stage wins as it is to conquer big backcountry rides. While the old RIP had a dual wheel size persona, the new RIPs are frames dedicated to each wheel size. This allows Niner to optimize the frame for each wheel size by dialing in the suspension kinematics and geometry specifically for each size eliminating compromises. Either way, you're getting 140mm of CVA rear travel that's sensitive off the top and supportive in the mid-stroke paired with 150mm of fork travel and clearance for 2. 6-inch tires with room for mud. This is the longest, lowest, and slackest Niner ever created, however, with the inclusion of its adjustable geometry via flip chips at the seatstay pivots, a Niner first, you can make adjustments as needed for your terrain and riding style. The high mode geometry is perfect for tamer trails and daily riding. You'll quickly appreciate the climbing and pedaling efficiency of its steeper 75. 8-degree seat tube angle and reworked CVA suspension platform. On the way down, you can shred in confidence with its longer reach, slack 66-degree head tube angle, and a 44mm, reduced offset fork. If you have some shuttling or bike park laps on the docket, its low mode brings out even more aggres...   read more
