Summary
The Niner WFO is a versatile and playful downhill bike that excels in big terrain with its impressive suspension travel and efficiency. It's praised for its ability to handle high-speed descents and tight turns, offering a stable yet poppy ride. While it's more of a 'play bike' than a race-focused machine, its comfort and climbing capabilities make it a strong all-rounder.
Massive amount of suspension travel (180mm front, 170mm back)
Really, really poppy, more so than any bike with this much travel
Excellent resistance to harsh bottom outs
Versatile long-travel machine
Comfortable pedaling position
Poor 'high' BB position geometry and kinematics
2.6-inch Tire spec is not for everyone
Felt dull and lacked pop in bump jumps and jibs
Actual seat angle could be steeper
The Niner is really, really poppy. Far more so than any bike with this much travel has any right to be.
Jeff Kendall-WeedThe WFO falls on the friendly side of the long travel category, a bike that could work well for riders who want plenty of travel without paying too much of a penalty when it comes time to pedal.Pinkbike
WFO stands for 'Wide Full Open,' and that is exactly where this bike is happiest.

The WFO returns to Niner's lineup, this time with 170mm of travel, a 180mm fork, and a 64-degree head angle.

We put the all-new big mountain bike from Niner to the test with two riders in three states.
Excellent climber
Mows down any obstacle
Eats up square-edge hits
No harsh bottom-out
2.6-inch Tire spec is not for everyone
Takes muscle to move and corner
