Fwd: Thinking about a new bike but don't know which one? We break the Niner RLT family down.

What are the differences in the Niner RLT gravel bikes?

Which Gravel Bike is for Me? The Niner RLT Siblings Explained. What do you mean Niner's got three bikes called the RLT 9? How are they different? How do I choose? Niner brought the first member of RLT 9 family to life in 2013. The Road Less Traveled (RLT) Aluminum, a close cousin to Niner's mountain bikes, became an overnight hit – literally and figuratively. As it turned out, riders wanted something other than road bikes and mountain bikes. They wanted a versatile bike that could take them far. They wanted more relaxed geometry, the ability to run larger tires, mount bags and head out for long rides on gravel roads without the heavier ride of a mountain bike or the worry that their road bike wasn't up to the task. Fast forward a couple of years and the RLT 9 family has now grown from one bike to three. The RLT 9 Steel takes its place as the middle child. The RLT 9 RDO, just released in early 2017,  became the youngest, but definitely not the slowest, child. SO WITH THE GROWTH OF THE FAMILY, RIDERS HAVE BEEN ASKING, "WHAT NINER RLT 9 IS RIGHT FOR ME?" Below, we offer our ideas about the rider we had in mind when we developed each bike. We do recommend, before making any purchase, that you ride before you buy and put some thought into how you will use one of these adventurous bikes. THE OLDEST CHILD PAVED THE GRAVEL WAY: THE RLT 9 ALUMINUM RIDER PROFILE: You're a rider and you've heard about this gravel riding thing and you want to give it a try. You want a bike that can introduce you to the sport without breaking the bank but you want a bike that delivers. Or, you are a commuter who wants a bike that's stable and sturdy but allows you the flexibility to take it on rougher terrain. Or, you are primarily a mountain biker but you'd like an option that keeps you off the road but allows you to still ride and explore a different aspect of cycling, especially when the trails are muck. The RLT 9 Aluminum broken down: Intended use: The RLT 9 Aluminum offers performance in a more affordable, lightweight and efficient package. Enter a race, get lost on the back roads or load it up for overnights. The original RLT 9 can do it all. Frame: Niner's premium 6000 series aluminum and RDO Gravel fork make this bike snappy and stiff, yet comfortable due to the design of the hydroformed alloy tube shapes. (Total weight of 56 cm frame and fork based on the 56 cm size: 4.5 lbs/2.04 kg) Tire options: 700 c,  1.75 inches/45 mm Mounting options: Rack and fender mounts allow for packing.   THE MIDDLE CHILD KEEPS  IT CALM: THE RLT 9 STEEL RIDER PROFILE: You may come from a road bike background and are looking for a bike that you can do more with, that offers a lot of options. You may simply be tired of paved roads and fast cars. You may come from a mountain bike background and are looking for a comfortable bike that you can get lost on. You don't always want to fight your way through obstacles. You understand the ride qualities that a Reynolds 853 steel bike offers and are not overly concerned with weight. At some point, you may have considered getting a custom steel bike. The RLT 9 Steel broken down: Intended use: The RLT Steel seeks adventure. We designed it for those who want to head out, go long and be comfortable. Frame: Reynolds 853 steel and the Niner RDO Gravel fork make this bike sturdy, durable and versatile. The 853 tubeset offers a ride quality like no other. (Total weight of 56 cm frame and fork: 6.13 lbs/2.78 kg) Tire options: 700 c,  1.75 inches/45 mm or 650b with up to a 47 mm tire. Packable for overnight and extended day trips. Rack and fender mounts, water bottle mounts and bento box mounts allow a lot of flexibility in terms of packing this bike and getting lost. A classic steel beauty with an eye towards steel bikes of yesteryear. THE SPORTY, RACY YOUNGEST CHILD: THE RLT 9 RDO RIDER PROFILE: If you come from a road or cross-country mountain bike background or you just love the feel of a performance-oriented bike, the RLT RDO is likely for you. You are the discerning cyclist who prefers a carbon fiber bike due to its ride qualities, its light weight and its strength. The RLT 9 RDO broken down: Intended use: The RLT 9 RDO seeks speed. A performance-oriented bike with geometry that leans more toward road biking but more stable and forgiving. You can race and train on this bike. Frame: Niner's RDO Carbon and RDO Gravel fork make this bike lightweight and strong yet very responsive. (Total weight of 56 cm frame and fork: 3.63 lbs/1.65 kg.) Tire compatiblity: 700 c, 1.5 inches/40 mm Faster than a steel bike and has a sportier, racier ride quality but the carbon fiber takes the edge off the bumps. Road bikers looking to do some off-road training to mix up their routine will love this bike and or mountain bike racers looking for another option, especially when trails are unrideable, will find this bike to their liking. So go ahead, get lost. Take the Road Less Traveled. And enjoy the freedom that pedal power offers you. Questions? Need more details?

RACE-READY JUST GOT READIER The Niner RKT 9 RDO gets a new paint scheme and a few key tweaks based on rider feedback - namely a move to a 120 mm front fork which will make an already fast bike, faster on the downhills.

Punish it on daylong epics and be amazed - it will keep coming back for more despite its featherweight feel.  Bicycling Magazine's Editors' Choice 2016 NOT YOUR GRANDADDY'S MOUNTAIN BIKE FORK We introduced our carbon RDO fork for mountain bikes a few years ago, and quite honestly, it was well received if not adored. Riders love its responsive feel and how it lightens up their bike while still taking the edge off the trail. But even with it being well loved, we've continually looked for ways to make it better, and we believe we have. Introducing the new Niner RDO mountain bike fork, produced using our tried and true carbon compaction process. A fork we believe takes what made the original great and makes it even better. For riders looking for tire options, we've added Boost spacing. And for those riders thinking about getting out and getting lost overnight, the new RDO fork now has mid-mounts so the adventure can go on and on. Give the new Niner RDO mountain bike fork a go today. You'll quickly understand what all the talk is about. For pricing and color options, go HERE.  NEW STAR BUILDS SHINE BRIGHTLY Spring makes for the perfect time to shake things up, make some changes based on feedback and work to offer you, our riders, improvements in ride quality and performance. Throughout the winter, holed up at headquarters, we had more than enough time to evaluate our current Star Build kits on our mountain bikes and figure out which bits needed an update. So, that's just what we did. Whether you're ready to shred on our recently redesigned trail bikes, the JET 9 and the RIP 9, or race it up on the AIR 9 or RKT 9, you'll be pleasantly surprised to see some of the tweaks we've made. For our trail bikes, and those of you who must have the very best, our 5-star builds get a new crank, SRAM's carbon Descendant, a part of the Truvativ family. Add to that, the impressive stopping power of the well-received SRAM Guide RSC brakes and you'll find yourself going faster down the hill with more ability to haul it in quickly when needed. Looking for a great ride, but with a bit more value? Our mid-range trail bikes continue to ride on reliable Shimano XT and SLX parts. The most noticeable change you'll find is with the dropper post. To tidy up the cockpit, we've swapped out the external cable routing and added the well-loved KS LEV SI post. For our race-ready riders, the RKT 9 RDO gets a little more cushion up front. The front fork grows from 100 mm of travel to 120. The 5 and 4 Star builds get the three-position Fox Float 34 with Boost spacing. The 3 and 2 star builds get the Rockshox Reba RL Solo Air, also with Boost. And not to be ignored, AIR 9 RDO 5-Star Eagle also sees an upgrade to its stopping power with the addition of SRAM Guide RSC brakes. All of the RKT and AIR builds receive Niner's Flat Top RDO or alloy handlebar at 780 mm. Cutdown marks are printed on each handlebar if you wish to shorten your bars. For a full list of changes to our bikes, go to our newly redesigned and more rider-friendly website.
