Niner’s Rip9 is one of our favorite do everything trail bikes. It’s not the newest or the lightest, but it still one of the best choices for one bike to do it all. I was glad to see that Mountain Bike Action feels the same in this review in their September 2011 issue:
“The R.I.P. 9 was already a favorite trailbike when compared
to any previously tested 26- or 29-inch-wheeled bike.
The addition of a 2×10 drivetrain and an adjustable-height
seatpost sweetened an already sweet deal. The R.I.P. 9 is an
intelligent choice for any terrain we have ever ridden. Where
we ride most often, on Southern California’s weird mix of
loose sand and adobe hardpack trails, the R.I.P. 9 has an even
more distinct advantage.“
