ES 2022 Niner RIP 9 RDO 29
It's like two bikes in one.
This Niner hits the sweet spot of capability and efficiency. The flip chip means two different geometries, making it two bikes in one. High mode is for everyday trail riding. You'll be launched uphill and over all technical terrain. Low mode is the party down personality. Perfect for long descents and backcountry excursions.
There's more standover clearance than the previous model and a shorter seat tube to accommodate 170mm dropper posts. The CVA suspension is supple yet stable, which controls unwanted suspension movement. It's perfectly tuned for cranking uphill, ripping downhill, and everything in between. The carbon frame also provides better ride tuning, high strength, and outstanding durability.
