The e-version of Niner's vaunted RLT gravel bike goes far- and it goes fast. The Bosch Performance Line Speed drive system propels a rider to 28 miles per hour with a 500wh battery for longer distances. Bosch leads the category with reliable motors that deliver smooth, lag-free pedal assist, backed by an unparalleled global service network. The full carbon frameset integrates the battery and power system in efficient ways, and the over all build kit helps you get great overall performance in a great e-bike built for gravel.
What’s not so obvious are the details, starting with Niner's RDO carbon construction. The engineers wanted the battery to be integrated and yet easily externally removable for the utmost flexibility when recharging. However, this design presents engineering challenges that we solved in elegant fashion. Using FEA modeling and extensive testing, lead engineer George Parry built a robust carbon backbone structure to withstand the roughest roads imaginable. In fact, the RLT e9 RDO passes ISO mountain bike test standards. Bonded to a 1-piece alloy motor mount, this machine is ready to go the distance for years to come.... Read More
