ES 2023 Niner RKT 9 RDO
A force to be reckoned with in MTB world.
Niner continues to push the boundaries of MTBing. Bringing you an updated version of the RKT 9 RDO! This is a cross-country marvel, with lightweight construction, precision handling, and cutting-edge technology. Slacker geometry, too. A 2-degree slacker headtube. As well as a steeper seat tube angle and a longer wheelbase.
You still get a flip chip for geo adjustments on the fly. The CVA suspension delivers 100mm front and rear travel. That means faster and more efficient rides, and more trail feedback. It's compatible with a 120mm suspension fork for an extra boost. You can also run a shorter stem and wider bar. And a dropper post!
Other highlights are the full-sleeve internal cable routing and a sag window. The RKT 9 RDO is made for dominating the race scene. Or daily trips up and down the mountain. Available in six builds and extra-small to extra large sizes.

What's RDO carbon fiber?
RDO stands for "Race Day Optimized." RDO is Niner's meticulous approach to utilizing carbon material in their products. Niner maximizes the benefits of carbon fiber by designing products that fully exploit its characteristics. This involves careful computer modeling to establish stiffness and strength parameters, creating frame shapes that disperse energy efficiently, and employing a carbon construction process that ensures tight compaction and precision in wall thickness. The result is enhanced ride quality, durability, and weight reduction, backed by Niner's rigorous testing and 5-year warranty.
