Description
Just when I think I’ve ridden the best emtn. bike around, the RIP e9 29er arrives from the folks at Niner in Ft. Collins, CO. This bad boy has raised the bar on trail riding domination. Every single bolt, angle, and component choice on this rig is the result of extensive testing by a passionate team of mtn. bikers.
The Niner aluminum frame is a thing of exquisite beauty and fierce strength. A Bosch Gen4 CX motor and 625wh battery along with SRAM Eagle SX drivetrain handle the get-up-and-go side of things. A combo of Rockshox and Fox suspension, SRAM Guide hydraulic brakes, and Schwalbe tires keep everything completely under your control. All the remaining components are top shelf as well.
The RIP e9 29er is a best-in-class machine which, in the proper hands, can dominate any and all trail riding conditions. The sure-footed stability and responsiveness I feel when I jump on this bike makes me want to seek out the gnarliest conditions I can to let it do what it’s been bred to do so well. If you’re a fan of the big hoops and you want a top contender in the emtn. bike world, the Niner RIP e9 29er could most definitely be the bike for you.
