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.”
Ride beyond the city limits, without going beyond your budget.

"Love to venture off-pavement. This bike is relationship material."
"Niner has updated their RLT line, putting thru axles where they weren’t and making them ever more capable of letting you hit the “road less traveled"
"It’s versatile, beautiful and will gladly take you anywhere you point ithellip;.The RLT 9 is the bike I can’t live without."
"You might recall one of the first bikes we tested at grit.cx was the Niner RLT 9, which was the mountain bike company’s first foray into the drop bar world."
"Niner felt like “good” wasn’t enough so they took the entire RLT9 line and gave it thru-axles along with a new fork."
"The RLT 9 blurs the distinctions between road and off-road riding, finding its niche instead in the undefined world of the all-rounder."
