Riding a RIP9 for 2 years now, I'm still not sold on using a 9er for DH. Wheelset durability and tire selection are the biggest two limitiations right now. I'm having too much fun on my Nomad and that's only 6.3" of travel. I see they used a 150mm rear and TA front, similar to Lenz Lunchbox, so that's a good start. But find me a tire greater than a true 2.2" with some bite and thick sidewalls that won't get sliced open the first time down Bootleg.

Nothing wrong with the flat bar. There are a ton of downhill racers that use low rise or flat bars to get the front low.

It's because Niner only makes a flat bar w/ their name on it.
