The incredible new Blue RD1 is designed for cycling enthusiasts who want to spend less without settling for less. The frameset offers race-proven geometry crafted in 100% high modulus carbon fiber. A select group of high quality Shimano and FSA components provide budget conscious racers and weekend warriors the quality and reliability they need to ride hard.

The RD1 frameset was painstakingly engineered for enthusiasts. To provide a proper fit for a wide range of riders and riding styles, we designed a slightly taller headtube. We also fine-tuned the geometry and adjusted the carbon build process to add vertical compliance without sacrificing lateral stiffness.

You'll get excellent power transfer when you race, and you won't be battered after the first 20 miles of your next century. The frameset is made from the same Aerus Composites ConquestTM high modulus carbon fiber you'll find in the RC8. No lower-end carbon or glass fiber in this frame.

It took us a long time to find the perfect combination of name brand Shimano and FSA components to deliver a sub-18-pound bike at this price. We think you'll agree our time was well spent. For those long weekend rides, we specified s more comfortable, yet lightweight saddle. You'll alsc appreciate the versatile, lightweight and tough FSA compact crankset making those long climbs easier than ever.

If you're a cycling enthusiast seeking a bike that can do It all, your search is over.
