IT’S ALL ABOUT THE RIDE - VERSATILE BEAUTY

날씬하고 눈을 사로잡는 디자인, 내부 케이블 가이드, 플랫 마운트 디스크 브레이크. 이러한 특징들이 중요하기는 하지만 승차감(ride quality)이 나쁘다면 그 의미를 많이 상실할 것이다. 그래서 RLT 9 RDO 프레임 세트를 디자인할 때 우리는 라이더들과 많은 대화를 나누었다. 그들은 장거리 가면서도 순간적인 힘에도 반응하는 자전거,  딱딱하면서도 노면의 충격에 순응하는 자전거, 즉각적인 페달링 파워를 전달하면서도 거친 노면의 충격을 흡수하는 자전거, 너무 무겁지 않으면서도 내구성이 좋은 자전거를 원했다.  

그래서 NINER AIR 9 RDO 산악자전거에 뿌리를 두면서 빠르고 재미있으며 편안해서 몇 일 동안의 장거리 도전에서나 어디에서든 경쟁적으로 몰아붙일 수 있는 자전거를 상상하며 디자인하기 시작했다. 바로 우리도 믿기지 않는 그런 프레임 세트인 RLT 9 RDO가 태어났다. 로드 자전거보다 엄격한 산악 자전거 기준에 따른 강도를 충족시키도록 디자인하였다.

NINER Carbon 압축 과정(Niner's RDO Carbon Compaction System)을 통해 10% 무게 감소시키면서도 강도와 내구성을 향상시킨 프레임으로 휘는 현상없이 하루 종일 성능과 편안함을 제공해준다.  

승차감 향상을 위해서 프레임 접합 부분에 많은 시간을 투자하여 두터운 seat tube, bridgeless seatstays, 얇은 두께의 top tube를 결합하는 디자인으로 불필요한 무게를 줄이면서 온종일 편안한 라이딩이 가능하도록 충분한 탄성을 확보하도록 하였다. 하지만 탄성이 많아서는 안되는 부분에서 휘는 현상은 없다. 굵은 down tube와 chainstays를 통해 원하는 만큼 페달링의 파워가 바로 휠로 전달되도록 하였다. 

RDO CARBON PROCESS

Niner RDO carbon fiber 제작 과정에는 Curing Process동안 external molds뿐만 아니라 단단한 internal molds를 사용한다. 이로 인하여 카본 섬유들이 더 압축되어 보다 단단하고 보다 일정하게 carbon layers를 가지게 되며 또한 완성된 프레임에서 레진이 고이는 현상을 현격하게 줄여 카본 튜브의 더 정밀한 일정한 두께를 가질 수 있게 한다. 이러한 보다 엄격한 제작 과정에서의 허용치는 무게 감소와 함께 보다 정련된 승차감과 강성과 내구성을 확보할 수 있게 해준다.

RLT9 RDO GRAVEL FRAMESET - NINER'S RDO CARBON 

Redefining what gravel can be. The new RLT 9 RDO. Seriously. Who doesn’t like a diversion? Something different. A different perspective. A change of pace. We designed the new RLT 9 RDO to encourage diversion. You want to go hard and fast? We encourage it. How about long and adventurous? Please do. Need a change of pace, a break from the routine? Go ahead. Give it a chance. If you can think it on two wheels, the RLT, a multi-tool of a bike, might just be the bike for you. From dirt trails to gravel to asphalt, this bike takes it all in stride and you along with it.

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE RIDE

It’s hard to know where to start with this versatile beauty. The sleek, eye-catching design? The thoughtful benefits of NMF internal cable guide routing? The flat mount disk brakes?

We know those are important, but when it all comes down to it, none of those features matters if the ride quality blows. So, when we set about designing the RLT 9 RDO we talked to riders. They wanted a bike that could go the distance but perform when pushed. They wanted a bike that was stiff yet compliant. A bike that transferred power instantly but absorbed rough terrain. And, a bike that wouldn’t weigh them down but be durable.

So, that’s what we sat down at the drawing board to do and that’s what you see here. A bike we’re proud to add to the RDO line of bikes. A bike with mountain biking roots that tips its hat to the AIR 9 RDO. A bike so fast and fun and comfortably designed that it can be ridden competitively, on multi-day adventures and everywhere in between. This bike just works. In fact, we’re still scratching our heads wondering how we pulled it off.

Take a close look at the frame - the heartbeat of the new RLT 9 RDO. It’s a frame that wants to be pushed and pushed hard. Our Carbon Compaction process makes this frame 10% lighter without being flexy in the wrong places. It delivers performance and comfort all day long. And, we always design our bikes to meet rigorous mountain bike industry standards for strength. (Road bike standards are less stringent.)

Keeping ride quality in mind, we went to great lengths to design the frame junction where the stout seat tube, the bridgeless seatstays and the wafer-thin top tube come together. This design delivers just enough flex to keep the rider comfortable all day long without unnecessary weight. But don’t worry about this bike flexing in the wrong places. The massive down tube and chainstays keep power transfer right where you need it to be.

TECH FEATURES

You'll lov taking advantage of new technology, we included a window under the bottom bracket which makes cable/wire installation easy and allows you the ability to easily service components like Shimano’s Di2 system. The NMF cable guide routing means you feed the cable housing in one end and it comes out the other end. No More Fishing. The full carbon sleeved bottom bracket shell can be used with a PF30 press-fit bottom bracket or, if you pine for a simpler life and would like to go singlespeed, the BioCentric 30 eccentric bottom bracket can handle the duty. (BioCentric 30 sold separately.)

We also added flat mount disc brakes. The absence of post mounts makes for a stiffer rear end and we were able to design the bike around appropriate braking power. There’s no need for a 160mm rotor when a 140mm handles the job with ease. They’re also easier to install and adjust which may also make your mechanic smile.

And speaking of mounts (this is a high-performance adventure bike after all) you’ll find intelligently placed rack and fender mounts on both the frame and the fork.

RIDE ONE TODAY We could go on and on about this new RLT 9 RDO. It truly pushes the limits to what a gravel bike should be, but we’d rather you stop reading, get to your local Niner dealer and test ride one. Once you’re on, you’ll see what we mean.
