Description

Design details

COCKPIT
We've integrated the parts of the headset so that the RCR steers smoothly while remaining easy to maintain. DEDA x VAN RYSEL Superbox EVO: the stem is lightweight yet sufficiently rigid XS: 80mm S: 90 mm M: 100 mm L: 110 mm XL: 120 mm DEDA SUPERZERO RS handlebar (carbon) Deda measurements are taken from the ends (ex: a 400 mm handlebar measured between axles = a 420 mm handlebar from Deda) Width between axles: XS/S: 400 mm M/L: 420 mm XL: 440 mm
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 the soft tissue area. Weight: 225 g (140 mm)
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 of bikes, offering the perfect balance between weight, rigidity and aerodynamics, resulting in an exceptional bike. If you want a bike that'll win races, look no further than the RCR!
Disc brakes
SRAM FORCE E1 disc brakes with 160 mm discs at the front and 140 mm at the back. 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 these brakes in. Simply brake gradually 20 times at a low speed (20 km/h), then repeat at 30 km/h. Make sure to bed in both brakes. Bedding in creates more friction between the disc and brake pad.
SRAM FORCE AXS E1 GROUPSET AND 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 to help them improve. Total drive train weight: 2920 g 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.
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.
A closer look at the frame
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 tyres up to 33 mm wide. There may be slight variations in weight depending on the colour (+/- 50 g) Please note: Carbon frames must not be secured on the top tube, seat tube and down tube using a clamp (workshop stand, bike carrier). Carbon is a very rigid material but it does not withstand compression.
CONTINENTAL GP 5000S TR 30MM TYRE
GP 5000S TR 30mm diameter tyre. Recommendation: convert the tyres to tubeless using the tubeless valve and preventive liquid supplied with the bike (using the syringe). Maximum pressure:5 bars Tubeless is more comfortable with better performance, and the tyres can self-repair when you get small pinches. Of course, you should always carry an inner tube in your repair kit, just in case your tyre gets a bigger puncture.
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 and tighten the caliper at the same time - If the problem persists, go to the nearest store.
PEDALS

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.
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 tyre 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
Important / Safety
Zipp wheels are considered hookless since they don't have a hook to keep the tyre in the rim. It's the pressure that keeps the tyre slammed into the rim. You must respect the maximum pressure recommended by Zipp - never exceed 5 bars, or you may lose a tyre
Which size?
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.

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.
SEVERAL FINISHES TO CHOOSE FROM
Depending on the groupset and wheel configuration, we offer different finishings to choose from so that you can ride in a model you styled yourself. The RCR and Pro frames come in a raw carbon finish covered in a matte varnish. This means that the carbon fibres are visible since they are not covered by paint. Every frame is unique as the 450 pieces are individually laminated by hand in the mould, which saves up to 100 g.
LIFESPAN OF A DRIVE TRAIN
When buying a bike, it's important to take into account the cost of servicing it, especially as regards the drive train. The amounts below are averages and are given 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 5000 km. The average lifespan of a cassette is 10,000-12,000 km. A poorly maintained chain can jump, which can damage your bike's frame.
