Slow isn't an option.
Let's get one thing out of the way--single speeds aren’t for everyone. No matter how many eggs you chug for breakfast or how many bears you leg wrestle, grinding up steep and endless climbs without the security of a granny gear isn't something that'll make everyone feel like a legend. If that sort of pain and suffering sounds like your jam, though, the Niner ONE RDO Carbon Mountain Bike Frame is your steed.
Descended from the AIR 9 RDO, the ONE RDO is a light, stiff, and scorchingly fast blend of climb-happy XC bike and race-ready hardtail. Like all Niner frames, it was developed using the company’s computer-based finite element analysis, which is a fancy way of saying that the ONE's carbon layup is designed to be extra awesome. The carbon weaves, the varying tube shapes, and the frame's form are all designed to be super light and extra stiff while directing forces to the strongest parts of the bike to prevent damage. The fat CYA bottom bracket and fat 12mm thru-axle direct pedaling forces into the back wheel without flexing, and the slightly curved seat stays help reduce the vibration caused by hard riding on rough and rugged trails.
Unlike the AIR 9, the ONE uses Niner's oversized CYA bottom bracket interface, which fits the included BioCentric eccentric bottom bracket. It's durable, creak free, and easy to use, and if you feel like turning the ONE into a one-by, you can add the necessary hardware and run any drivetrain you desire. You should also note that the ONE will only work with a 160mm brake rotor, and the rear triangle will fit tires up to 2.35in in diameter.

I'm 5'9, I purchased a Medium with the help of Jon J. I went with 780 bars with a 100mm stem, and the niner RDO 0offset post. Purchased the xx crankarms and then went with 32t direct mount 3mm offset chainring to bring the teeth away from the chainstay att the biocentric's most rear positions. sram 8speed chain. xt8000 brakes. xt pedals. ESI chunky grips. Stan's Crest. No issues at all.. yet. I have a 12nm torque key for the BB (prestacycle). no slippage yet. bike is stiff and the xtra wide bar helps grunt up climbs. Carbon fork is great, but very fatiguing... planning on getting a RebaRL in the near future.
SS setup with carbon fork/pedals/garminmount: ~18.5 lbs.
veealmostrodeitHardtail classic!

This bike rips! I currently have it setup 1x10 with a 32t ring up front for the early season but will convert this to SS soon. The EBB works great and fits the 32t with plenty of adjustment room for bigger rings. The only speed this bike seems to know is MASH. Power transfer is amazing. The bike is snappy and fast, handles well, and is absurdly light. Love the 142 rear spacing. Medium size is exactly what I expected. I'm running a 100mm Fox and geometry is perfect. Equipped with an RDO seatpost and bar and the bike is plenty comfortable for long days in the saddle. Get this and prepare to crush PR's and set new landspeed records on the climb up on your favorite trails.
Chase SkidmoreEmployeeIs it illegal to put approximate weights in bike descriptions? Surely there is some kind of disclaimer.
skinewmexicoMost manufacturers don't publish weights , as frustrating as that is to riders.
Virginia DickinsonGearhead1235 grams from what I have from a third party article. It didn't give a size but probably it was for a medium.
Benjamin L.People are asking--does the One 9 RDO frame include a derailleur hanger?
Yes, The ONE 9 RDO frame comes with the parts that you need to run the frame geared or Singlespeed.
Mike NelsonGearheadWhy thank you, kind sir!
ShaeEmployeeWill this frame work in a 2x setup? Can it hold a front derailleur?
What's the weight?
Petr C.Hi Petr, The One 9 RDO can run singlespeed or geared with a single front ring, but is not designed to work with any sort of front derailleur.
Mike NelsonGearheadI have a set of 2014 Mavic Crossmax SLR wheels that I was hoping to use for a Niner One 9 RDO build. However, it just occurred to me that all Sram 1x drivetrains have 11-speed cassettes and trigger shifters. Will an 11-speed cassette fit on the Mavic SLR freehub?
I suppose I could buy the 1x front crank, and then purchase a 10-speed cassette and trigger shifter from another Sram group...is it worth going through this extra trouble?
Thanks,
Greg
Greg DeemerGreg,
The Sram 11 speed cassettes required a special freehub body (MAV0521), which will work with your wheels.
As far as mixing parts, 11 speed parts work best with each other. 11 speed chains, pulleys, cogs and chainrings are narrower than their 10 speed ancestors. I would just make the complete conversion.
Ben ToweryGearheadhow about using a 11speed Shimano XT 8000 cassette, which wouldn't require a different freehub body? it is also cheaper than Sram.
