The RLT 9 RDO is Niner's carbon gravel frame, here built with SRAM's Apex XPLR 12-speed group and a rigid carbon fork. The frame is the draw: 26 threaded mounts, rack and fender eyelets, internal cable routing, and clearance for either 700 x 50c or 650b x 2.0" tires. It suits riders who want one light carbon bike for fast gravel, commuting and light touring. Against alloy gravel bikes it is lighter and more versatile in mounting, but it is a rigid, race-leaning frame rather than a cushioned bikepacking rig. Owners rate it highly, with most giving it full marks.
It checks today's price at every store, compares the alternatives and answers in about a minute.
Owners rate the RLT 9 RDO highly, with the large majority giving it five stars and very few rating it three or below. They like the carbon frame, the mounting options and the wide-tire clearance. Complaints are minor and mostly about the rigid ride and the Apex build.
