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 were calculated to be as efficient as possible in the main wind angles (-15°/+15°). This bike falls into the aero-light category: an optimum balance of lightness, rigidity, and aerodynamics makes this an exceptional bike. If you want a bike designed to win races, look no further than the RCR.
What's the difference between the RCR and the RCR Pro?
What makes a carbon frame is its geometry, its shapes, and its layup. The layup is how the carbon fibres are assembled. Not all fibres have the same properties. On the frame of the RCR, we only use high-modulus fibres. On the RCR PRO, we've chosen exceptional fibres that make the bike stiffer in the areas that are put under the most stress and that slightly reduce the weight. 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 [28 ox.] (painted) in size M The RCR's fork weighs 380 g [13 1/2 oz.] (painted) in size M The frame can take tires up to 32 mm [1 1/4"] wide. There may be slight variations in weight depending on the colour (+/- 50 g).
Cockpit
We integrated the headset parts so that the RCR steers smoothly and is easy to maintain. Deda x Van Rysel Superbox EVO: the stem is light yet rigid XS: 80 mm (3") S: 90 mm (3 1/2") M: 100 mm (4") L: 110 mm (4 1/3") XL: 120 mm (4 3/4") Deda Superzero RS handlebar (carbon) Deda measurements are taken from the ends (ex: a 400 mm [16"] handlebar measured between axles = a 420 mm [16 1/2"] handlebar from Deda) Width between axles: XS / S: 400 mm (16") M/L: 420 mm (16 1/2") XL: 440 mm (17 1/3")
Shimano Ultegra DI2 groupset + Stages power sensor
This RCR is equipped with a full Shimano Ultegra DI2 12S groupset. A power sensor is a must for cyclists who want to plan their training to help them improve. We chose Stages Cycling sensors for their reliability and excellent accuracy. This is the Stage Power sensor (left crank) Total drive train weight: 2717 g (96 oz.)

Drive train 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, which is available on our website.
Drive train lifespan
When buying a bike, it’s important to take into account servicing costs, especially the drive train. We provide estimates based on average lifespans below to give you a general idea of what to expect. These 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 (3000 mi). The average lifespan of a cassette is 10,000-12,000 km (6200-7500 mi). A poorly maintained chain can jump, potentially damaging your bike’s frame.
Disc brakes
Shimano Ultegra RTCL 800 disc brake with 160 mm (6 1/3") discs in front and 140 mm (5 1/2") in back. The Ultrega disc brakes are hydraulic. This gives you more progressive, more powerful braking. You will need to bed these brakes in. Simply brake gradually 20 times at a low speed (20 km/h [12 mi/h]), then repeat at 30 km/h (19 mi/h). Make sure to bed in both brakes. Bedding in creates more friction between the disc and brake pad.
Hydraulic brake maintenance
Hydraulic brakes function using a closed circuit between your brake lever and your caliper. There is a hose to maintain the seal. With time, you’ll see a normal loss of pressure in your hoses, leading to a loss of braking efficiency. When your brake guard is too soft, or you stop short against your handlebar, you need to bleed your system. This requires specific tools and knowledge.
Warning and adjustment
Please note:Never squeeze the brakes without a wheel being attached, as you could get the brake pads stuck together. Here's how to realign the caliper if the rotor is touching the pads: - Brake hard and tighten the caliper at the same time - If the problem persists, go to the nearest store.

Continenatal GP 5000 S TLR Tire
Ride faster, more comfortably, and with even greater puncture resistance with the Continental GP 5000 S tubeless ready tires 700 x 28 C: pressure between 4 and 6.5 bar 280 g (10 oz.)
Tubeless or inner tube
We recommend switching your tires to tubeless using the tubeless valve that comes with this bike. Tubeless is more comfortable and more efficient, and the tires can self-repair when you get 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.
Position

Sizing
Please refer to the bike frame geometry table. If you're between sizes, a shorter bike is better if you want something more responsive and lively. However, if you want to be comfortable when riding long distances, the bigger size is your best bet.
