” The goal of this frame platform is to provide a bike for riders who demand more off-road prowess than the current RLT line offers. With suspension manufacturers now offering suspension forks for the gravel market, joining this trend is well suited to cover a wider range of riding demands.” – Niner Bikes
“We are seeing gravel riders both pushing the limits of the RLT line with more rugged terrain and participating in the ever-evolving rougher racecourses. Riders are adding suspension to a non corrected geometry (compromise), while others are demanding higher performance out of the same frame that is currently pushing beyond the limits.”
