Now the newest RIP 9 is getting a lower priced makeover in the form of we-made-the-same-thing-in-aluminum. That means you get most of the RIP 9 RDO performance including the dual wheel size capability, without the price… Original MSPR only USD$3800 for 27.5+, approx. SGD$5415. Now even lower. Limited stock.
The aluminum RIP 9s will be offered in two different 2 Star SLX builds – one with 29″ wheels for $3,500, and one with 27+ wheels and tires for $3,80o. Both bikes include a 1×11 SLX drivetrain with a RaceFace Aeffect parts kit and a KS Dropzone dropper, while the price difference comes from the wheels with the plus version getting an upgraded Stan’s Neo/Baron wheelset.
