The 2009 Rip 9 is coming down the pipe. Steve put some final touches on the frame, including a newly shaped top tube and removal of the pre-production gusset and support brace on the top tube (the frames we had at Interbike were still pre-production samples).
Through final testing and reshaping, the frame will be even stronger, cleaner and lighter than those shown at Interbike. Additionally, production frame welding will be neater.
On the color option front we have great news - the frame will be available in RAW! We've replaced the moondust grey with a raw finish to go with the ano black and milk dud ano for '09.
This first run will be limited so find your favorite Niner dealer to set up a deposit/pre-order.
