Although 29″ is now the industry standard in nearly every MTB category, this wasn’t always the case. When Niner was established in 2005, they concentrated on this size right away, and ever since then, their mountain bikes have been equipped with 29″ wheels. The company’s initial bicycle was a singlespeed on a scandium frame, and it was established in Fort Collins, Colorado (USA). The company expanded quickly at the beginning of the first and second decades of the twenty-first century, gained popularity, and produced some incredibly intricate and fascinating bikes.
Iconic JET 9 RDO bike has undergone a complete redesign, solidifying its status as the most well-liked, adaptable, and nimble trail bike. With 120 mm of suspension travel and a very efficient frame geometry, you can fly down quick descents, master tough climbs, and effortlessly navigate everything in between.
The JET 9, our original bike, made its debut in 2007. We were able to take the lead in our category because of our early launch. Niner has honed his skills with full-suspension 29-wheel mountain bikes to an extreme degree. Over these fifteen years, our offer has consistently included the JET model. With a lifetime warranty and a legacy to support it, the JET 9 RDO is undoubtedly among the greatest short-travel trail bikes on the market right now, as this most recent release demonstrates. It’s our best-selling mountain bike and gets great feedback from athletes, media, and riders alike.
Our JET 9 RDO is the most versatile bike you can imagine, combining the characteristics and suspension of a trail bike with the advantages of a cross bike. All you can do when pedaling uphill is use your legs and lungs. We spare no time or energy with our patented CVA suspension. Every pedal stroke increases your height without compromising your performance.
