Many riders enjoy the benefits of having a gravel bike. You’re able to ride the streets and continue going when the streets end and the dirt begins. Gravel bike popularity continues to grow exponentially and the Niner RLT Aluminum is taking advantage of that. The RLT aluminum frame is made from 6061 aluminum and has an RDO carbon fork with internal brake cable routing and Dynamo hub routing. The frame has clearance for 700 x 50c or 650b x 2.0” tires. It has 26 integrated, fixed mounting points for bottles, bags, lights, fenders, and racks so you can turn this into your weekend bikepacker or your ultimate commuter. The frame is 1x, 2x, electronic, wireless, and dropper post compatible.

"Amazing value from a very reputable brand. Cambria Bike quickly processed and shipped shortly after the sale, with worry free, robust packaging. I received it earlier than anticipated and quickly built it up, and it's proven itself on single-track and gravel already! Such a fun gravel bike that can easily be built up on a budget."
"Arrived well packaged and ready to be built up. Looking forward to riding when I receive the components to complete the build."
"The bike exceeded my expectations as far as how it rides. I have a Cannondale Topstone and this not only soaks up the bumps way better but it also climbs like an absolute dream. I run a 42t up front with a 48 cassette and the difference in climbing between the Niner and the Topstone is night and day. Love this Frame! Brian"
"Great deal on a nice frame! Set it up as a single speed and it is perfect for around town."
"The Niner RLT 9 frame set is reasonably light for an alloy frame (my size 59 frame weighs ≈1800g, including the thru axle and mounting hardware), is built well, and looks great (the paint is excellent). One feature that I haven’t seen many reviews talk about, however, is the versatility of the bottom bracket on this frame. It uses a PF30 shell (45.95 mm bore diameter with a 68mm wide shell) but still maintains clearance for 700x50 tires. That is practically unheard of and makes the RLT 9 compatible with practically every crank set on the market. As proof of this point, I’ve attached a picture to this review that shows an s-works crank set mounted to the frame; this crank was originally designed for the BB30 standard but just barely fits on the frame and spins freely. You can not do that with just about any other gravel frame set on the market. The unusual BB choice makes the RLT 9 a uniquely good product for anyone interested in building a custom bike with their choice of parts."
"Nice frame at great price"
