Steel is real and adventure is the new big thing, so the Niner RLT 9 Steel, a steel adventure bike, ought to be the best thing ever.

Niner RLT 9 Steel Review

May 2016 · Logan Watts

Whether labeled gravel, all-road, or adventure, it’s hard to ignore all the new bikes... but the Niner RLT 9 Steel, seems to do each of those words justice.

Highs
  • Great all-around geometry that’s comfortable on long stretches yet maintains a nimble feel for singletrack as well.

  • Finally, someone put cage mounts on a carbon fork.

  • Tire clearance for 1.75″/45mm rubber.

  • Downtube bottle bosses; in my opinion, any adventure bike should be equipped these… but many don’t.

  • The graphics aren’t so bad; I am typically a minimalist when it comes to paint, but the off-white and dark red grew on me.

Lows
  • Terrible gearing for loaded bikepacking on steep terrain.

  • The Schwalbe G-One Tires are actually a really nice tire, until you get out of the saddle on steep loose gravel; I have a pair of WTB Nanos 40c and plan on popping those on next mountain trip.

  • The 4-star model isn’t cheap; but for $2,500 you can get a 2-star build with a lesser Shimano 105 drivetrain and mechanical BB7 brakes.
