Niner R.I.P. 9 XT (2012)

Why would we mess with a frame that has garnered applause from all 5 of the major US mountain bike magazines, including Best 29er of 2007 and Consumer Choice Award? Because at Niner we believe we can always do better. The all new, redesigned R.I.P. 9 for 2009: same travel, same weight, drastically increased stiffness. Our CVA™ suspension technology still gives the rear wheel 4.5” of smooth, efficient, active suspension travel while the geometry has been tweaked to utilize the latest 120mm travel forks – giving the R.I.P. 9 that perfect all-mountain balance.
