2022 Niner RKT 9 RDO RS

2022 Niner RKT 9 RDO RS

Hop on and prepare for launch.

The short-travel version of the 2022 Niner RKT ("rocket") 9. Although it shares a name with the 2022 RKT 9, the RS, or "Race Spec," version has a different frame and suspension. It's designed "pre-upgraded" so you can race it just as you bought it.

The RKT Race Spec is all about XC racing. It's equipped with a 100mm travel fork up front and 90mm rear travel, both with remote lockouts in case you want to ride rigid. It's paired with stiff and responsive carbon fiber construction for a fast, light cross-country bike.
