Road bikes are only great for the pavement, but if you want to go beyond that, you'll want a gravel bike. Gravel bikes bridge the gap so you can ride on pavement and continue going when the dirt begins. The Niner RLT 9 RDO 3-Star Bike is designed for adventure and versatility. It has an RDO carbon frame and an RDO carbon fork. The frame is compatible with both 700 x 50c tires and 650b x 2.0" tires. The frame also features integrated frame mounts, internal cable routing, and rack and fender mounts so you can easily transform this bike into a daily commuter or touring bike.
The 3-Star version of the Niner RLT 9 RDO comes with a SRAM Rival 11-speed drivetrain. The gearing is perfect for moderate hills and all-day adventures with an 11-42T cassette and a 40T chainring on the front. SRAM Rival 1 HRD brakes provide reliable stopping power so you can descend under control. With the DT Swiss G 1800 Spline 25 wheels and Schwalbe G-One Allround EVO Super Terrain TLE tires, you'll be able to set them up tubeless for a smoother ride, better traction, and fewer flats.
