2022 Niner RLT 9

2022 Niner RLT 9

Adventure awaits with aluminum.

There's no match to the RLT 9. It's the bike for the road less traveled. Made with affordable, high-performing materials with elegant engineering. A fully-featured frameset. And, best of all, 6061 aluminum. Optimized for strength and durability, but still as lightweight as possible. This version has a new, forged chainstay yoke for better stiffness and tire clearance.

There's an RDO carbon fiber fork up front. Made for better compliance over rough surfaces. The brake hose is routed internally, so no more digging for wires. But there is wiring for a hub dynamo light. Also multiple rack, fender, and cargo mounts for your heavy loads. The open trails are calling, and you've never been more ready to answer.
