Niner RLT 9 RDO 2-Star Gravel Bike

If you’re the type of rider that likes to explore and travel on the roads less traveled, then a gravel bike might be what you want. Gravel is growing in popularity exponentially and doesn’t seem to be slowing down. The Niner RLT 9 RDO has been redesigned for 2020 and comes with a ton of new features. The carbon fiber frame is light enough and stiff enough to satisfy the most selective gravel racers and is tested to ISO mountain bike standards for strength. The frame has clearance for 700 x 50c or 650b x 2.0” tires so you can have maximum traction everywhere you ride and the frame features 26 integrated, fixed mounting points for bottles, bags, lights, fenders, and racks so you can easily transform this into your weekend bikepacker or a daily commuter. It has full-sleeve internal routing for all cables and brake lines and is 1x, 2x, electronic, wireless, and dropper post compatible. With a revised geometry and longer wheelbase, you’ll have more stability while you’re riding offroad.

The 4-Star version of the Niner RLT RDO comes with a 2x11-speed Shimano GRX800 drivetrain. This provides riders with a cassette that has an 11-34-tooth that makes climbing a little easier while not sacrificing your top-end speed. The GRX800 hydraulic disc brakes provide excellent stopping power so you can descend with confidence. Stan's NoTubes Grail S1 wheels are paired with Schwalbe G-One EVO SS tires that roll well on the street or in the dirt. Lastly, with the Niner Carbon Seatpost, you'll have a slightly smoother ride compared to an alloy seatpost.
