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.
Sram Force groupset and Quarq Power metre
The RCR bike is equipped with the Sram Force eTap AXS complete groupset and Quarq power metre. A power meter is a must for cyclists who want to plan their training and monitor progress. Total drive train weight: 2,920 g (2.9 kg) with power metre 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.
Drivetrain maintenance
Please note that it is important to regularly service your drive train, especially if you ride in difficult conditions (wet and/or dirty roads). Regular maintenance will help your drive train to last for longer. You should regularly check your chain with our chain wear indicator, available on our website.
Michelin Power Cup black tire
Boost your confidence with the Michelin Power Cup road tire for competitions and training. The Cofidis team uses this tire for competitions. It has been directly inspired by MotoGP technology, bringing you speed and performance. It’s light and reliable thanks to the Michelin Aramid Shield technology and the 3 x 120 TPI carcass. The Michelin GUM-X compound grips the road well and keeps you stable on both dry and wet ground. 700 x 28: pressure between 44 and 73 psi 240 g (8.5 oz)
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.
Position
RCR carbon seat post -15 mm Fizik Argo Vento R5 saddle or Fizik Antares R5 saddle, depending on version. These racing saddles, developed in partnership with professional racers, have a short nose to promote stability and relieve pressure on soft tissue areas. Weight: 225 g (8 oz) (140 mm)
Cockpit
The RCR features an integrated headset for smooth steering and easy maintenance. DEDA x Van Rysel Superbox EVO: the stem is lightweight yet sufficiently 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 = a 420 mm handlebar from Deda) Width between axles: XS and S: 400 mm M/L: 420 mm XL: 440 mm
Disc Brakes
SRAM Force disc brakes with 160 mm discs at the front and 140 mm at the rear. The SRAM Force brakes are hydraulic. This gives you progressive braking that is more powerful 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.
Warning and adjustment
Please note: never squeeze the brakes without a wheel being attached, as you could get the brake pads 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.
Tubeless or inner tube?
We recommend converting your tires to tubeless using the tubeless valve that comes with the bike. Tubeless tires provide more comfort, offer improved efficiency, and are self-sealing for small punctures. Of course, you should always carry an inner tube in your repair kit, just in case your tire gets a slightly bigger puncture.
A closer look at the frame
The RCR’s frame weighs 830 g (painted) in size M The RCR Pro’s frame weighs 790 g (painted) in size M The RCR’s fork weighs 380 g (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).
The RCR Range
The RCR range is built for cyclists who refuse to compromise. With this bike, performance is the top priority. Every tube’s cross-section is engineered to deliver maximum efficiency at key wind angles (–15° to +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!
Zipp 404 Firecrest wheels
The 404 wheel from Zipp has been honed for increased performance. 100% carbon tubeless ready hookless wheel. It has a depth of 58 mm, just like the previous version, but also benefits from the new ZR1 hub which is smoother and creates less friction when freewheeling. Internal width of 23 mm to handle 28 mm cross-section tires. Pressure between 44 and 73 psi (max). Weight per pair: 1,470 g (1.5 kg)
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. When your brake guard is too soft, or you stop short against your handlebar, you need to bleed your system. This process requires specialized tools and expertise.
Drivetrain lifespan
When buying a bike, it’s important to take into account servicing costs, especially the drive train. We have provided averages below so that you have a general idea of what to expect. They will, of course, vary depending on the care you take of your drive train. The average lifespan of a well-maintained chain is 5,000 km. The average lifespan of a cassette is 10,000–12,000 km. A poorly maintained chain can jump, in turn damaging your bike’s frame.
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.
