The Niner MCR 9 RDO is a distinct outlier in the world of gravel bikes, a full-suspension heavyweight bruiser in a field of pared-down welterweights.

Superb rider comfort, tangible boost in tire traction, good pedaling efficiency.
Very heavy, weird handling, ungainly aesthetics, suspension maintenance.

The MCR merely represents a new level of evolutionary technology being brought to the table. It makes no bones about its adventure-seeking DNA. No, it’s not the bike we would choose for Dirty Kanza. Is it a bike for everyone? No. Is it a bike that anyone can enjoy given their own desired ride experience? Yes.
