For over a decade, the RIP 9 trail bike has ruled Niner’s off-road lineup. This latest evolution of our
flagship 140mm 29er is ready to tame any trail.
On every Niner Bikes full-suspension frame, Enduro Bearings MAX black oxide bearings are inside every
pivot point. Niner is one of the only brands using these high-grade pivot bearings.
We always say, if you really want to understand Niner, you have to go and ride one. Our bikes make riding
on dirt a better experience! We’d love to get your bum on one of our bikes, because we are certain
you’ll have a great time and you won’t want to give it back.
As often as possible, we partner with key dealers in popular locations around the country to offer
semi-permanent fleets of Niner test bikes. Let’s call them “Niners in residence,” or maybe “Niner pop-up
dealer demos.”
It’s not about where you’re at, it’s about where you’re headed.

"Niner really nailed it with this bike."
"Riding the RLT off pavement was more comfortable, more efficient, and just plain more fun than riding a mountain bike on similar surfaces."
"After several months on this bike, it’s easy to say I love it."
"This sturdy steel, disc brake, and rack mount-equipped Niner is so much more than an adventure bike."
"All told, the RLT 9 Steel is a bike that’s damned near perfect for what it’s trying to bemdash;a go getter rig destined for weekend adventures, a gravel grinder that begs for all-day rides, and a light touring bike that offers a ticket to lesser used tracks."
"The RLT 9’s steel frame is a well shy;designed piece of Reynolds 853 mastery."
