The Niner R.I.P. 9 will re-awaken your passion for all-mountain riding. Capitalizing on innovative design and production technologies, Niner redesigned their award-winning suspension frame, picking over every detail while asking, "can it be done better?" Taper steerer tube technology at the head tube, hydro-formed top tube and down tube, and over 10 forged or extruded parts went through a painstaking process of re-evaluation, mechanical stress testing and real world testing to create a frame as light and strong as possible. The result: increased stiffness everywhere without a weight penalty. Niner's CVA (Constantly Varying Arc) suspension technology delivers 4.5" of smooth, efficient rear suspension, while the custom valved Fox RP23 shock provides a smooth stroke with a near bottomless feel of suspension. The pedal-neutral suspension design is compliant on everything from small chatter to large obstacles. And, all four corners of the linkage feature a full complement of sealed cartridge bearings. Finally, the geometry has been slightly tweaked to utilize the latest 120mm travel forks - giving the R.I.P. 9 that perfect all-mountain balance.
