Description

Design details

The RCR Range
The RCR range is a real treat for cyclists who want a complete bike with no compromises. For this bike, performance was our priority. The cross-sections of every tube have been calculated to be as efficient as possible in the main wind angles (-15°/+15°). This bike falls within the “lightweight aero” category, offering the perfect balance of weight, rigidity, and aerodynamics for a truly exceptional bike. If you want a bike that’ll win races, look no further than the RCR!
What’s the difference between the RCR and the RCR Pro?
A carbon frame is defined by its geometry, its tube shapes, and its layup. The layup is how the carbon fibres are assembled. Not all fibres have the same properties. On the RCR, we use only high-modulus fibres. On the RCR Pro, we select exceptional fibres that increase stiffness in the areas under the most stress while slightly reducing overall weight. The result: the RCR Pro is ready to compete at the highest level.
A closer look at the frame
The RCR Pro’s frame weighs 790 g (1.7 lb) - painted, in size M. The RCR’s fork weighs 380 g (0.8 lb) - painted, in size M. The frame can take tires up to 33 mm wide. There may be slight variations in weight depending on the colour (+/-50 g). Please note: Never clamp a carbon frame (top tube, seat tube, down tube) in a work stand or bike rack—carbon is a very rigid material but it does not withstand compression.
Several finishes available
Depending on the groupset and wheel configuration, you can choose from different finishes to create a model styled your way. Both the RCR and RCR Pro frames feature a raw carbon finish with a matte varnish, leaving the carbon fibres visible instead of covering them with paint. Every frame is unique, as each of the 450 pieces is individually laminated by hand in the mould. That process saves up to 100 g (3.5 oz).
Cockpit
The RCR features an integrated headset for smooth steering and easy maintenance. Stem: Deda x Van Rysel Superbox EVO, lightweight yet rigid. XS: 80 mm S: 90 mm M: 100 mm L: 110 mm XL: 120 mm Handlebar: Deda Superzero RS carbon Deda measures handlebar width from end to end, meaning a 400 mm handlebar measured between axles will be labelled as 420 mm. Width between axles: XS and S: 400 mm M and L: 420 mm XL: 440 mm
SRAM Force AXS E1 Groupset + Quarq Power Meter
The RCR bike is equipped with the SRAM Force ETAP AXS E1 complete groupset and Quarq power meter. A power meter is a must for cyclists who want to plan their training and monitor progress. Total drivetrain weight: 2,920 g (6.4 lb) with power meter The electronic groupset has two separate batteries (one for each derailleur). You can use the SRAM app to set up your bike and view data from your rides.
SRAM Force AXS E1 Drivetrain

Drivetrain Maintenance
Regular maintenance is key, especially if you ride in wet or dirty conditions. A well-maintained drivetrain lasts longer. You should regularly check your chain using the chain wear indicator available on our website.
Drivetrain Lifespan
When buying a bike, it’s important to consider the cost of drivetrain maintenance. The figures below are estimates and may vary depending on how well you maintain your drivetrain. Average lifespan of a well-maintained chain: 5,000 km Average lifespan of a cassette: 10,000–12,000 km A poorly maintained chain can skip, potentially causing damage to your frame.
Disc Brakes
SRAM Force E1 hydraulic disc brakes with 160 mm rotors at the front and 140 mm rotors at the rear. The SRAM Force E1 disc brakes are hydraulic. This gives you more progressive and more powerful braking than with cable-actuated hydraulic brakes. You will need to bed the brakes in. Simply brake gradually 20 times at a low speed (20 km/h), then repeat at 30 km/h. Be sure to bed in both brakes. Bedding in creates more friction between the disc and brake pad.
Hydraulic Brake Maintenance
Hydraulic brakes operate within a closed system, with a hose maintaining the seal between the brake lever and caliper. Over time, a slight loss of pressure is normal, which can reduce braking efficiency. If your brake lever feels too soft or pulls all the way to the handlebar, it’s time to bleed the system. This process requires specialized tools and expertise.
Warning and Adjustment
Please note: Never squeeze the brakes without a wheel being attached, as the brake pads could get stuck together. If the rotor is touching the pads, here’s how to realign the wheel and caliper: - Loosen the brake caliper. - Brake hard while simultaneously tightening the caliper. - If the problem persists, go to the nearest store.
Zipp 303 SW Wheels
The all-new Zipp 303 SW wheel continues the 303's legacy of versatility. The all-new Zipp AXS pressure sensor integrates the wheel into the SRAM AXS system, adding tire pressure monitoring to our proven 303 platform. Important: it is essential to use the syringe supplied with the wheels for tubeless conversion. Full information can be found on the support website https://www.sram.com/fr/service/models/wh-303-sw-a1
Continental GP 5000S TR 30 mm Tire
GP 5000S TR 30 mm diameter tire. Recommendation: convert the tires to tubeless using the tubeless valve and preventive liquid supplied with the bike (using the syringe). Maximum pressure: 5 bars Tubeless tires provide more comfort, offer improved efficiency, and are self-sealing for small punctures. However, always carry an inner tube in your repair kit for bigger punctures.
Important / Safety
Zipp wheels are considered hookless since they don’t have a hook to keep the tire in the rim. It’s the pressure that keeps the tire fixed in the rim. You must respect the maximum pressure recommended by Zipp—never exceed 5 bars or you may lose a tire.
Position
RCR carbon seat post -15 mm Fizik Argo Vento R5 saddle or Fizik Antares R5 saddle, depending on version. These short-nosed racing saddles, developed in partnership with professional racers, promote stability and relieve pressure on soft tissue areas. Weight: 225 g (7.9 oz)
Pedals
Sold without pedals.
Sizing
Please refer to the bike frame geometry table. If you’re between sizes, choose a smaller frame if you want a bike that’s more responsive and agile. However, if you want to be comfortable when riding long distances, the bigger size is your best bet.
