Looking for a gravel bike that feels more at home in the dirt than on the coffee shop loop? The Niner ORE 9 RDO brings real mountain-bike attitude to the drop-bar world with stable geometry, smart frame details and true off-road capability. Here are the highlights from our long term test:

• Built for dirt with real mountain-bike DNA
• Lightweight carbon frame tested to MTB ISO standards
• Progressive geometry for a stable, confident ride
• Suspension-ready for up to a 40mm fork
• T47 bottom bracket, UDH hanger and full internal routing
• Dropper-post compatible
• Multiple bottle and accessory mounts for adventure rides
• Full Shimano GRX 12-speed mechanical drivetrain
• Hydraulic disc brakes
• DT Swiss 1800 wheels built for rough terrain
• Stock 40c Schwalbe tires with room for bigger rubber
• Fast on pavement, planted on rough dirt
• Handles steep sections, switchbacks and technical terrain well
• Quiet, smooth ride feel from the carbon frame and internal routing
• Even better with a dropper post and larger tires
• One issue on our test bike was rear brake rub that needed shop correction
• Bottom line: a gravel bike that leans hard into off-road performance
