Niner RIP 9 RDO 3-Star 2020 Military Green Grey
The Niner RIP is one scary-cool midrange trail bike. Featuring some heavy duty mountain bike specs, the Niner RIPs are bound to thrill. The CVA suspension and Revolution geometry have made these bikes stellar performers with a killer look. The SRAM-heavy componentry does not disappoint either. These bikes are more than worth the price you’ll pay for them. Read full review
Niner RIP Review
The Niner RIP bikes don’t just look awesome. They also ride beautifully. We tried a few known rough trails, and we couldn’t have been happier with the performance. On any terrain, these bikes can give you speed, stability, and precision handling. We just couldn’t find anything to complain about!
Niner Rip 9 RDO 27.53-StarBike 2020Longer, Lower, and SlackerTake a gander at the brand new 2020 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 2020 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 2020 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 2020 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 2020 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.The 3-Star version of the Niner RIP 9 RDO comes with a Shimano XT 12-speed drivetrain with 10-51 tooth gearing so you can ride up and down any terrain. The Shimano XT hydraulic disc brakes provide the confidence-inspiring stopping power you need for any descent and a Fox 36 Float fork and Fox Float DPX2 rear shock offer industry leading suspension performance. DT-Swiss provides the wheelset with their M1900 Spline wheels which provide a tubeless ready setup so you can run lower tire pressures for increased traction and a smoother ride. If you’re looking for the ultimate mountain bike, then you’ll love the 2020 Niner RIP 9.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 bearingsimproves torsional rigiditySag indicator on the rocker link pivot allows you to easily dial in your rideFox Performance/Elite suspension provides exceptional suspension performanceShimano XT 12-speed Drivetrain provides a wide range of gears for climbing and descendingKS Lev SI dropper seat post allows an effortless transition between climbing and descendingShimano XT brakes provide powerful and consistent stopping powerSPECIFICATIONSFrameNiner RIP 9 RDO Carbon 27.5″ Frame, 140mm rear travel, 12 x 148mm BoostForkFOX 36 FLOAT PERFORMANCE ELITE FIT4 EVOL, 3 POSITION W/ ADJ, 150MM, 110X15MM, 37MM OFFSETRear ShockFox Float DPX2 Performance, 210 x 55mm metricHeadsetN/AShiftersSHIMANO XTRear DerailleurSHIMANO XT M8100 12SP I-SPEC EVCranksetRACEFACE TURBINE 12SP, 32TBottom BracketRACEFACE THREADEDPedalsN/AChainSHIMANO SLX M7100 W/ QUICKLINKCassetteSHIMANO SLX M7100 12SP, 10-51TBrakesSHIMANO XT M8100, METAL PAD W/ FINWheelsetDT SWISS M1900 SPLINE 30, DT370 CENTERLOCK HUBTiresMAXXIS MINION DHF 3C/EXO/TR 2.5 WT FRONT, AGGRESSOR 2C/EXO/TR 2.5 WT REARHandlebarRACE FACE AEFFECT R 780MM WIDE, 20MM RISE, 35MM CLAMPStemRACE FACE AEFFECT R 40MM, 35MM CLAMPGripsNINER GRRRIPS L/O NYLONSeatpostKS LEV SI (S-125MM, M-150MM, L/XL-175MM)SeatclampNinerSaddleNINER CUSTOM WITH CR-MO RAILS, NINER GRAPHICIntended UseTrail, All-mountain, EnduroWeightN/ANote: Components are subject to change without notice.Geometry 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
