FORT COLLINS, Colo. (BRAIN) — Niner Bikes announced the upcoming release of the Bosch powered RLT e9 RDO gravel bike. It's the third model in Niner's e9 Series of Bosch-powered e-bikes, and it complements the RIP e9 and WFO e9 mountain bikes introduced in July.
It's called Niner's first e-gravel bike, but the company said it's more like a pedal-powered SUV or an overland expedition vehicle. The design details make the bike equally at home across a range of environments. Cargo-capable, front-suspension-ready, and flat-bar friendly, its calling card is versatility.
Available Oct. 15, the RLT e9 RDO is powered by the fourth-generation Bosch Performance Line Speed drive system. Paired with a 500Wh battery, the bike offers up to 85Nm of torque and lasts an average 30 of miles between charges.
The MSRP will be $5,695.
Other features include:
- Race Day Optimized carbon fiber frame and fork, tested to ISO mountain bike standards.
- Integrated, externally accessible 500wh Power Tube battery for long range and easy recharging.
- Boost hub and drivetrain spacing is interchangeable with mountain bike components.
- Post mount brakes, with custom flat-mount adapters, allows interchangeability between brake components and flat bar control levers.
- Adaptable for available Niner custom integrated front and rear cargo racks plus multiple bottle and bag mounts.
- Frame geometry is corrected and ready for a gravel bike suspension fork.
- Clearance for 50c tires and adaptable for fenders.
- Lifetime warranty.
