Niner was born from a love for mountain bikes with 29in wheels, though in recent years the company has ventured off the trail and onto gravel roads and ’cross courses with a couple of drop bar models. The BSB 9 RDO is the company’s flagship cyclocross racer. Like the sport itself, the BSB 9 RDO is fast and unforgiving.

Cyclocross is a merciless sport. One misstep, misshift or miscalculated corner will leave you in the dust.

The BSB 9 RDO can be an equally harsh mistress. When you’re on your game, this bike is a superb companion for out-of-the-saddle pedal mashing and is a willing accomplice for your holeshot machinations. The full carbon frameset corners with precision and the geometry occupies a Goldilocks position that will suit just about any rider. The BSB 9 RDO is neither too low and slack nor too high and tight; it’s just right. The BSB 9’s middle-ground frame numbers make it a well-rounded competitor on any course.
