Niner Jet 9 RDO

The CVA (Constantly Varying Arc) system is designed to isolate pedaling forces from the suspension, which means you get a very stable platform when climbing. It minimizes pedal bob while still allowing the rear wheel to track over roots and rocks, keeping your traction consistent on steep, punchy sections.

Yes, the Jet 9 RDO features a flip-chip in the suspension linkage that allows you to adjust the geometry. This lets you tweak the head tube angle and bottom bracket height to prioritize either stability for fast descents or sharper handling for tighter, twistier trails.

Absolutely. With 130mm of front travel and 120mm in the rear, it strikes a balance between efficiency and comfort. It is designed as a versatile trail bike that is capable enough for demanding descents but efficient enough to pedal comfortably for several hours.

Niner uses full-length internal cable tunnels, which makes maintenance significantly easier than standard internal routing. You can simply slide new housing through the frame without needing to fish for cables or use magnets, saving you time and frustration during routine service.

The frame uses Enduro MAX Black Oxide pivot bearings, which are specifically designed to handle the high-load, low-rotation environment of mountain bike suspension. They are highly durable and resistant to corrosion, though you should still inspect them periodically for smooth movement after wet or muddy rides.

Yes, the 73mm threaded bottom bracket is a major plus for reliability and ease of maintenance. It is less prone to creaking than press-fit alternatives and is much easier to remove or replace in a home workshop without needing specialized hydraulic presses.
