2022 Niner RLT 9 Inventory

Pure, unfettered freedom to ride anywhere.

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.

Also read our guides to the Niner RLT 9 in steel and the electric version in RDO carbon.

Frequently Asked Questions

2022 Niner RLT 9

  • How do I know what size to get?

    The 2022 RLT 9 Steel sizes are measured based on the frame size in centimeters. It comes in sizes from 47cm to 62cm. For riders from 4'11 to 5'3", the 47cm size is recommended. For riders from 5'2" to 5'6", the 50cm size is recommended. For riders from 5'5" to 5'9", the 53cm frame is recommended. For riders from 5'8" to 6'0", the 56cm frame should be a good fit. Riders from 5'11" to 6'3" should find the 59cm frame to be a good fit. The 62cm size is for riders 6'2" to 6'6". If you're in between sizes, we recommend demoing the bike at a bike shop.

  • Does the 2022 Niner RLT 9 come in women's sizes?

    Although the sizes aren't broken up by gender, this bike is a good fit for many women. Many mountain bike models unfortunately have sizing too large for many women, but the RLT 9 is an exception. The 47cm size should work great for women starting at 4 feet 11 inches tall, and the 50cm size will work for women from 5'2" to 5'6", and the 53cm size is for 5'5" to 5'9".

  • What's the warranty on this bike?

    Niner bikes purchased after Sept 1, 2019 include a limited lifetime frame warranty for the original owner. Niner branded components purchased after January 1, 2017 are also covered by a 5-year limited warranty. You must register your product with Niner to be eligible for warranty coverage.
