Niner RKT 9 RDO 4-Star X01 review

Apr 2016 · Guy Kesteven

Super light XC thoroughbred with phenomenal climbing performance, but detail niggles and traumatised by technical trails. Buy if you're a single-minded, foaming-mouthed racer who wants a ride to match their personality – and can overlook its flaws

Highs
  • Ruthless climbing and sprinting ability, near-flawless frame, poised suspension, well-thought out builds

Lows
  • Can be nerve-wracking on descents, irritating spec niggles
