>> NEW R.I.P. 9 COMING SOON
As seen recently at Interbike: the new R.I.P. 9 is an evolution of our already popular R.I.P. 9 platform. We have upped the ante in every way - check it out!
>> NEW R.I.P. 9 FEATURES:
� 70% stiffer tapered headtube - tapered forks available from Fox and Marzocchi and we have verbal agreements from Rock Shox that they will be making a tapered fork, too! Marzocchi option is a 100-140mm travel fork recently developed by Marzocchi with input from Niner. The improved ride quality of the tapered headtube is so noticable that we believe that other 29er makers will quickly follow suit and that this will become an industry standard.
� 55% stiffer bottom bracket
� 80% stiffer rear end
� Replacable dropouts available to work with quick release,
12 millimeter thru axle, Maxel or Rohloff hub options.
� Hydroformed top and downtube
� Forged links and dropouts: top link is now one piece instead
of 7 and lower link is now one piece instead of 7. Simpler
systems are the most reliable.
� Alloy hardware replaces steel axles
� New larger pivot bearings move easier under full compression
� Pivot bearings moved to outboard position to handle loads
� Due Jan-Feb 2009 - contact your nearest Niner Dealer to
pre-order yours now!
� Pricing $1,799 includes headset, Fox RP 23 shock
