Rcr Or Rcr-F: How To Choose

The RCR-F Pro has been designed to excel in competitions on rolling to hilly terrain..It is particularly effective on trails with under 1,500 m of positive gradient over 100 km, with average speeds of 35 to 50 km/h.The RCR Pro has been designed to exceed expectations on hilly to mountainous terrain.It is therefore ideal for trails with more than 1,500 m of positive gradient over 100 km, with average speeds of 25 to 35 km/h.

The Story Behind The Design:Aerodynamics

The RCR-F frame is the result of thorough work on aerodynamics, carried out with our partner and aerodynamic optimisation expert, Swiss Side.With one purpose in mind: to design the fastest road bike in the pack!After CFD simulations and wind-tunnel tests, the final contours have been tested in the field by our professional athletes.The result: the RCR-F is 13 watts faster than the RCR at 45 km/h.

The Story Behind The Design: Stiffness And Performance

The second aspect of its development is the stiffness, with the aim of meeting the needs of the most demanding racers and maximising performance.To do this, a Super High Modulus carbon layup was designed with 517 plies, made exclusively from high-end carbon fibres.The RCR-F is 7% stiffer at the front than the RCR, which makes it especially more effective in fast phases like attacks or sprints.

Rcr-F Pro Frame/Fork

The RCR-F Pro frame and fork have been designed for fast riding on rolling to hilly terrain.The Super High Modulus layup is made from exceptional fibres, offering maximum performance combined with excellent stability at high speed.This frame has been co-developed with the World Tour Decathlon Ag2r La Mondiale team and is used on the longest routes of the UCI circuit.Gross frame weight: 1,010 g (Size M) Gross fork weight: 420 g
