RCR-G Force AXS

Engineered for racers who refuse to just endure the race, the RCR-G redefines the rules of performance gravel.

By merging World-Tour-derived aerodynamics with explosive agility, it delivers a radical edge: the power to shatter the status quo, slice through the dust cloud, and ride alone at the front.

The RCR-G Range

The RCR-G makes zero compromises. Engineered with an obsession for pure speed, this frame brings World Tour standards to off-road terrain to deliver the category's most radical edge: the ability to break away alone at the front, where the air is clear and the racing line is yours.

Ice Blue look. Fire performance.

The RCR-G Force AXS saves 8.6W at 45 km/h compared to its predecessor. Designed for those who race at the front, where the air is clear and the line is free.

• Up to 50 mm / 2" tire clearance
• 1x or 2x drivetrain compatibility
• UDH compatibility
• Three bottle cage mounts
• Top-tube bento box compatibility

A Closer Look at the Frame

The RCR-G frame weight (size M, raw): 1.95 lbs (885 g)

RCR-G fork weight (size M, painted): 0.91 lbs (417 g)

Tire clearance: Up to 50 mm

Never clamp a carbon frame (top tube, seat tube, down tube) in a work stand or bike rack—carbon is rigid but vulnerable to compression.

Cockpit

The RCR-G cockpit is designed for precise handling and easy maintenance, with an integrated headset that ensures smooth steering. The VR stem is both lightweight and stiff.

Stem lengths:

• XS: 70 mm
• S: 80 mm
• M: 90 mm
• L: 100 mm
• XL: 110 mm

Paired with the VR Carbon handlebar, it delivers aerodynamic efficiency and comfort.

Handlebar widths (measured center to center):

• XS/S/M: 380 mm
• L/XL: 400 mm

SRAM Force Groupset & Quarq Power Meter

The RCR-G features the SRAM Force eTap AXS groupset with a Quarq power meter for precise training. The electronic drivetrain runs on two separate batteries, with full customization and ride data available via the SRAM app.

SRAM Rival Drivetrain

The RCR-G is equipped with the SRAM Force XPLR AXS E1 groupset, delivering smooth, wireless shifting and seamless compatibility with Force components.

• Shifter: Force eTap AXS E1
• Rear derailleur: Force eTap AXS E1
• Cassette: Force XPLR XG 1371, 10-46T
• Crankset: Force E1 XPLR WIDE, 42T
• Chain: SRAM Force E1

Crank length by size:

• XS/S: 165mm
• M/L: 170mm
• XL: 172.5mm

Drivetrain Maintenance

Regular maintenance is key, especially in wet or dirty conditions. Check chain wear often using a chain wear indicator.

A well-maintained drivetrain lasts longer and performs better.

Drivetrain Lifespan

When purchasing a bike, consider the long-term cost of drivetrain maintenance. Lifespan varies based on care and riding conditions, but here are general estimates:

Chain lifespan: ~3,100 miles (5,000 km)

Cassette lifespan: ~6,200–7,500 miles (10,000–12,000 km)

A neglected chain can skip, causing premature wear or even damage to your frame. Regular maintenance is key.

Disc Brakes

The SRAM Force hydraulic disc brakes deliver powerful, progressive braking for optimal control. Featuring a 160mm front and rear rotors, they outperform cable-actuated systems in all conditions.

Bedding-In Process:

To maximize braking efficiency, gradually brake 20 times at low speed (12 mph / 20 km/h), then repeat at 18 mph (30 km/h). Be sure to bed in both brakes to enhance friction between the pads and rotors.

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. If your brake lever feels too soft or pulls all the way to the handlebar, it's time to bleed the system. This process requires specialized tools and expertise.

Warning and Adjustment

Never squeeze the brakes without a wheel installed—this can cause the brake pads to stick together.

If the rotor rubs against the pads, follow these steps to realign the caliper:

1. Loosen the brake caliper bolts.
2. Squeeze the brake lever firmly.
3. While holding the brake, tighten the caliper bolts.

If the issue persists, visit your nearest bike shop for further adjustment.

Van Rysel VR 35 Carbon Wheels

The Van Rysel VR35 is a carbon, tubeless-ready wheelset designed for versatility and speed. With a medium profile, it excels across all terrains.

Continental Terra Speed 45mm Tires

For your way off-road. For more comfort. For the adventure. Be it the long tour, or the shortcut on your way home. Made to get you over rough and smooth. Designed for performance and reliability, they deliver both comfort and superior grip.

• Size: 700x45
• Recommended Pressure: 3–4.5 bar (44–65 psi)
• Weight: 445 g (15.7 oz)

Tubeless or Inner Tube?

We recommend converting your tires to tubeless using the included tubeless valves.

Why go tubeless?

• More comfort
• Better efficiency
• Self-sealing for small punctures

However, always carry an inner tube in your repair kit for larger punctures.

Position

The RCR-G features a carbon 27.2 seatpost for a comfortable riding position.

Seat Post Length by Size:

• XS/S: 300 mm
• M: 350 mm
• L/XL: 400 mm

The Fizik Vento Argo X3 saddle features a short-nose design for enhanced stability and pressure relief in the soft tissue area.

Weight: 8.8 oz (250g)

Pedals

Sold without pedals.

Which Size?

Refer to the bike frame geometry table for precise sizing.

• Smaller size: More responsive and agile
• Larger size: Better comfort for long distances

If you're between sizes, choose based on your riding style and fit preference. For best results, we recommend a professional bike fit.

Warranty

• Frame & Fork: 5 years
