Niner Rip 9 RDO 27.5" Frame 2019Longer, Lower, and SlackerTake a gander at the brand new 2019 Niner RIP 9 27.5". Yes, you read that right, 27.5! Niner's long travel trail slayer is now available in 27.5" wheels. Don't worry though, the new frame has been specifically designed around the smaller wheels. They took a no compromises approach. The 2019 Niner is longer, slacker, and lower than any bike Niner has ever made, and it even features a geometry flip chip if you want to get extra low (65-degree HA in low setting). Compared to the previous generation, the 2019 model also has a wider and stiffer rib cage main triangle for precise handling, clearance for 2.6" tires, and a refined suspension curve for a sensitive early stroke and supportive mid stroke. Also, if you like to tinker on your own bike, you'll love how the 2019 RIP 9 has full sleeve internal cable guides, factory installed frame protection, and durable long-lasting Enduro Max Black Oxide pivot bearings.Long travel bikes are becoming the norm in the mountain biking world and there is a good reason for it. Advancements in suspension technology have made it so long travel mountain bikes can descend smoothly and still climb efficiently. The 2019 RIP 9 is here to sit upon the throne as the king of the mountain. It features an RDO carbon frame which is both lightweight and incredibly durable and perfect for the trails. The frame features Niner's CVA, or Constant Varying Arc, suspension design which lets you climb efficiently and descend smoothly. It features Boost hub spacing on the front and rear that delivers a stiffer and more predictable ride.REVIEWSJensonUSA Journal - "This is the "one bike" quiver (heaven forbid, only one bike!!!) that will let you hang with whoever your riding with in most every situation... The Rip 9 is a bike that is going to be expected to do a lot of things well-this is a bike that will see a lot of big epic days... It's hard to argue with the range and diversity of the Rip 9 for most every ride and rider." - Matt LongJensonUSA Journal - "Next to the older model, the V3 Rip 9 just looks like it has spent a lot of time in the gym, it's bigger, it's chiseled (it's probably more likely to pick a fight as well)... the new 140mm-travel Rip 9 V3 felt more capable than the 150mm bike it replaced." - Matt LongFeaturesCompact, shortened rear triangle with oversized tubes increases overall frame stiffnessExtra wide seat tube rocker link pivot with double-width bearings improves torsional rigiditySag indicator on the rocker link pivot allows you to easily dial in your rideSPECIFICATIONSFrameNiner RIP 9 RDO Carbon 27.5" Frame, 140mm rear travel, 12 x 148mm BoostRear ShockFox Factory Float DPX2, 210 x 55mm metricWheel Size27.5"Headset IncludedN/AHeadtube DiameterTaperedFront DerailleurNot CompatibleBottom BracketThreaded 73mm BBSeatpost30.9mm seatpost, 34.9mm clampDropout Style12x148mm Boost Thru-axleAccessory MountsISCG 05 chain guide mounts, water bottle cage mountsCable routingInternal w/full sleeved internal routing guidesIntended UseEnduro, All-mountain, TrailWeightN/AGeometry MM/INCH// MetricStandardNiner RIP 9 27.5" LowSizeSmallMediumLargeX-LargeA: Seat Tube Length376406446495B: Effective Top Tube576598627653C: Stack597607621637D: Reach431433458483F: BB Drop20202020G: Head Tube Length110120135140H: Head Tube Angle65 deg65 deg65 deg65 degI: Seat Tube Angle74.7 deg74.7 deg74.7 deg74.7 degJ: Standover Height671700725762K: Chainstay Length430430430430L: Wheelbase1148117312041242Niner RIP 9 27.5" HighSizeSmallMediumLargeX-LargeA: Seat Tube Length376406446495B: Effective Top Tube574596625651C: Stack593603616633D: Reach420440465490F: BB Drop13131313G: Head Tube Length110120135145H: Head Tube Angle66 deg66 deg66 deg66 degI: Seat Tube Angle75.5 deg75.5 deg75.5 deg75.5 degJ: Standover Height677706732769K: Chainstay Length430430430430L: Wheelbase1149117312041242Niner RIP 9 27.5" LowSizeSmallMediumLargeX-LargeA: Seat Tube Length14.816.017.619.5B: Effective Top Tube22.723.524.725.7C: Stack23.523.924.425.1D: Reach17.017.018.019.0F: BB Drop0.80.80.80.8G: Head Tube Length4.34.75.35.5H: Head Tube Angle65.0 deg65.0 deg65.0 deg65.0 degI: Seat Tube Angle74.7 deg74.7 deg74.7 deg74.7 degJ: Standover Height26.427.628.530.0K: Chainstay Length16.916.916.916.9L: Wheelbase45.246.247.448.9Niner RIP 9 27.5" HighSizeSmallMediumLargeX-LargeA: Seat Tube Length14.816.017.619.5B: Effective Top Tube22.623.524.625.6C: Stack23.323.724.324.9D: Reach16.517.318.319.3F: BB Drop0.50.50.50.5G: Head Tube Length4.34.75.35.7H: Head Tube Angle66.0 deg66.0 deg66.0 deg66.0 degI: Seat Tube Angle75.5 deg75.5 deg75.5 deg75.5 degJ: Standover Height26.727.828.830.3K: Chainstay Length16.916.916.916.9L: Wheelbase45.246.247.448.9
