Road Bike RCR Pro Red Etap AXS Power

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 tyres up to 32 mm wide.



There may be slight variations in weight depending on the colour (+/- 50 g).

Disc brakes

SRAM Red disc brakes with 160 mm discs at the front and 140 mm at the back.

The SRAM Red brakes are hydraulic. This gives you progressive, 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.

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.

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.

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.

Michelin Power Cup black tyre

Boost your confidence with the Michelin Power Cup road tyre for competitions and training. This tyre is used by the Cofidis team 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.

SRAM RED chain



The SRAM elements are easy to replace, with the Red, Force and Rival ranges being compatible.

SRAM RED ETAP AXS Groupset + QUARQ Power Meter

The RCR PRO bike is equipped with the SRAM RED eTap AXS 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: 2503 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.

Steering position

We've integrated the parts of the headset so that the RCR steers smoothly while remaining easy to maintain.

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 into the aero-light category: an optimum balance of lightness, rigidity and aerodynamics has been found to make this an exceptional bike.

If you're after a bike that's designed to win races, look no further than the RCR!

Tubeless or inner tube

This bike comes tubeless. The provided sealant just needs to be added through the valve.



Tubeless is more comfortable and more efficient, and the tyres 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 tyre gets a slightly 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 caliper:



- Brake hard and tighten the caliper at the same time

- If the problem persists, go to the nearest store.

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.

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.

Zipp 454 SW wheels

Ultra-fast and versatile, this pair of Zipp wheels fulfills its commitment no matter the challenge or the situation: victory.



The 454 SW is the peak of performance. It uses a SawTooth 53/58 mm rim shape inspired by biomimicry to reduce aerodynamic resistance and the effect of sidewind.

100% carbon tubeless ready hookless wheel.

It has a 58 mm profile height.
