AMANDA NAUMAN’S 2021 UNBOUND XL BIKE

Niner RLT, Shimano GRX and Pro accessories, she is set for a long ride

Former two-time DK 200 (now Unbound) winner, Amanda Nauman is taking on the XL for 2021. Sure she could once again keep the 200 field on their toes but instead, she has opted for the massive commitment of 350 miles. She will be piloting a Niner RLT 9 RDO for the long effort over the Flint Hills. Shimano GRX is her component line of choice paired with a Dura-Ace power meter and yes, there is a front derailleur too. Pro Components and Garmin keep her with plenty of space for anything needed and on course. Check out this gallery of her rig, photos supplied by Shimano.

A Shimano 2x GRX drivetrain will offer a wide range with smaller gaps between gears.

Looks like she will likely rely on a hydration pack for fluids.

Not sure Geoff Kabush would approve, but we do.

Good Luck Amanda.
