Gearing

A bike with lower gearing will be easier to ride up steep hills, while a higher top end means it will pedal faster down hills.

Niner RIP 9 RDO 27.5 4-Star first ride - MBR

Jul 2019 · Alan Muldoon

Built around twin-link suspension the Niner RIP 9 RDO 27.5 pumps out 140mm travel. Its Ribcage construction and shorter seat tube accommodate long droppers.

Highs
  • The rear suspension tracks well with limited movement when pedalling hard.

  • A carefully considered build kit makes it a very capable trail bike.

Lows
  • The reach is a hair too short on the size L and there’s no XL option in 27.5in.

  • Not all shock pumps are compatible with the frame layout.

  • Swapping between the geometry settings is fiddly.

Tested: Niner RIP 9 RDO

Feb 2019

If you’re just too fast, too young or too shreddy to picture yourself on a Niner, picture yourself on the new RIP. It’s an unapologetic thrashing machine that happens to come in both a 29- and 27.5-inch version.
