WHAT GOES UP MUST COME DOWN
R5 has one job—get to the top, fast. But for all the glory and fanfare that comes with a summit finish, they’re rarely the only climb of the day. And while a race isn’t usually won on a descent, they can certainly be lost. A climbing bike that can’t carve a hairpin is a bit like a cup of decaf coffee. This is the fourth iteration of the R5, and while weight and stiffness have varied over the years, the handling, poise, and unmatched prowess on a descent have been consistent since day one.
How do I determine what bike size I need?
There are many factors that go into bicycle sizing and fit, particularly for high-performance bikes.
Without being able to measure you and see you on a bike, precise fit information is difficult to supply.
It’s also not unusual for someone to be able to ride two different sizes depending on their goals, flexibility, and fit tolerance.
Please reach out to us or visit a certified bike fitter to help you better determine what frame size works for you!
