The RLT 9 Aluminum Frameset lets you ride beyond the city limits, without going beyond your budget. Whether it's on pavement or gravel road, this frameset craves long adventures. With plenty of room for all your gear, spec it out to your personal preferences and hit the roads with the RLT 9 Aluminum. 

The 6061 aluminum RLT9 is welded with hydroformed aluminum tubing. This material is universally praised for affordability and versatility. Before welding, Niner carefully shapes the tubing to optimize strength, durability, stiffness, all the while keeping it as lightweight as possible. The 2021 version features a forged chainstay yoke to improve tire clearance and stiffness.

The RDO carbon fork is sure to offer a supple ride, regardless of duration. The brake hose is routed internally through a fully sleeved guide tube. Multiple rack, fender, and cargo mounts make light work of heavy loads. The 12x100mm thru-axle and flat mount disc brake attachments are compatible with contemporary components. The fork features internal wire routing and fitment for a hub dynamo powered light, so the only thing keeping you from riding into the night is your bedtime.

  • Niner 6061 Aluminum frame; internal cable routing, versatile, elegant, lightweight.
  • RDO carbon fork; light, stiff, and optimized for compliance over rough roads

Niner 2021 RLT 9 Frameset (Forge Grey/Skye Blue) (47cm)
I bought one of these from another mail order company.
Frame failed after 30mi. I rode over a double water bar a little heavy on the front end . Kept riding. Took a break looked down and my frame was bent . Top tube and down tube. Niner will replace it for a price which is pretty unfair. But there is a definite problem with this frame as I talked to someone else who had the same thing happen. He bought the replacement frame and put it up for sale.
Still nothing definite from Jenson USA either. It’s been 6 months.
Please don’t wast your time or money on this bike.
