If you are looking to get an efficient-pedaling trail bike with enough travel to handle just about any terrain you put it up against, the Jet 9 RDO is a good option to have on your short list of possibilities.

The Niner Jet 9 is more focused on the down portion of 'downcountry' compared to some of the other bikes on test.
Sensibly specced for aggressive riding
Thrives on steeper trails

CVA suspension design has a planted feel
Balanced reach to chainstay length as tested
FOX Suspension is supportive and ready for aggressive riding
Updated, descent-focused geometry still climbs incredibly well
Deore XT brake pad cooling fins rattle on caliper
Rear axle removable handle rattles
30-pound weight lessens snappy, XC bike characteristics
