2022 Niner RLT 9 Steel Inventory

A bike for all-day comfort, confidence, and control.

For this Niner, it's all in the name. A beautifully made Reynolds 853 steel bike for ultimate capability. Crush the pavement and the gravel, and take those adventures you've been craving. Niner's so-called "fireroad geometry" is designed to handle those bumpy forest service fire roads as well as pavement. It has an RDO full-carbon front fork for just the right amount of flex, and based on the build kit the seatpost and stem are either alloy or carbon.

The Niner RLT 9 Steel can be customized, and customized, and customized. It can fit 700cx50c tires or 650b x 2.0 tires. It comes in a grand total of seven different build kits as well as a frame only option, and two different frame colors. It's also available in six different sizes, from 47cm to 62cm.
