Jenson USA Exclusive: Niner Rip 9 RDO Eagle Bike

Big wheels, bigger performance

Niner has dominated the big wheeled bike market since the dawn of the 29'er craze. To them, it's not about a larger wheel size, or more accommodating geometry, it's about sharing an entirely unique experience on two wheels. Since they began in a humble Fort Collins, Co office, Niner has focused intently on building the rowdiest and most innovative big-wheeled bikes on the market. Their RIP 9 RDO series prides itself on a meticulously designed carbon fiber frame. In the process of designing this frame, Niner has revolutionized the way a long-travel, large-wheeled bike performs. The CVA rear suspension is remarkably versatile, counteracting squat and bob to absorb shock without stealing from your pedal stroke. With short chainstays and a low bottom bracket, this bike is remarkably fun.

The RIP 9 RDO is designed with modern geometry built with roomy cockpits, and a slack and low demeanor. This long-legged machine not only uses big tires to eat up the trail, with 150mm of rear travel, this bike is ready for some seriously rowdy fun. Meanwhile, the CVA Suspension keeps pedal performance and efficiency light and tight. This is the ultimate Niner bike for big trail day adventures, or hot laps at the local bike park.

This Jenson USA custom build pairs the RIP 9 RDO with SRAM's groundbreaking Eagle 12-speed drivetrain. The Eagle trigger shifter throws down precise shifts along the SRAM X01 Eagle 10-50t cassette while the Shimano XT brakes have you stopping on a dime. The Rock Shox Pike fork delivers 160mm of plush, terrain gobbling performance. Jenson rounds out the RIP's Eagle build with Industry Nine Enduro S 29" wheels wrapped with Continental X-King rubber and a Race Face Turbine dropper seat post. So, whether you are on a weekend trail ride with your buds, or you want to test your limits at the next endurance race, this well-equipped Niner RIP is game.
