Niner is American bike brand , whose name already hints at what they specialize in. They have been creating bikes with 29-inch wheels since 2005. After steel hardtails, they gradually switched to carbon, full-suspension frames, and of course bikes in the newest gravel segment. Ros9 (Roll Over Shit) is hardtail with 140 mm of travel , welded from chrome-molybdenum tubes and rolls on 29” wheels, but also accepts 27.5”+ tires.

Special features
The biggest feature of the frame is eccentric drive bearing (EBB), which easily converts the bike into a single-speed bike and adjusts the bottom bracket position and consequently the bike's geometry. The geometry is just aggressive enough for downhill fun and doesn't pose any obstacles when the road turns uphill.
