When you need to Dig Deep
Gravel can be wild and untamed with slivers of single-track glinting through tall grasses, utterly irresistible. Tracks that trapse deep into the darkened woods dare you into unexplored unknowns. We’ve unearthed just the tool to attack anything in the universe--the new ORE 9 RDO. With a suspension-corrected front end and slack geometry, the ORE is the gravel rig that will take you beyond roads less traveled.
While not always shooting for the moon, sometimes your crazy idea hurtles you into a barely controlled orbit. Space debris flinging past at light speed bringing you to a skittering stop. ORE 9 RDO is your hotshot rock crawler for the giant asteroid shit show. Your Freedom shuttle. Land on the surface of your mission and dig deep for those precious minerals whose glow keeps you moving forward. Though your retrieval of gleaming metals may not always pan out, you will always return a hero for pushing to the edge.
Explore the edge of your orbit
The ORE 9 RDO is your pickaxe. Strike deep and explore your edge. Head out into the cosmos confident you will succeed on the light, stiff, and strong RDO carbon Niner is known for. Surface mining for the raw materials underneath is smooth and easy with the 69° head tube angle and 50mm fork rake paired with snappy and agile rear triangle. You’ll blast through the top rock cleanly to the precious minerals underneath by choosing from a wide array of tools for processing made possible with the T47 85.5mm bottom shell.
Rock crawl over any asteroid surface
It's hard sweaty work extracting valuable fitness so the ORE provides ample space for material handling with fitments for 3 bottles on the front triangle, safety equipment in a frame bag, and fuel storage on the top tube. Gravity will never fail you with tire clearance up to 2.0 inches, keeping you firmly planted in those unpredictable atmospheric conditions. It’s the wild west out there, so as the pressure mounts upgrade to a 40mm suspension fork or add a dropper post for the progressive trek.
