Specialized Roval Rapide Cockpit

Specialized Roval Rapide Cockpit

The Roval Rapide Cockpit is a modern bicycle handlebar system designed for speed and comfort. It stands out with its one-piece design, where the handlebar and stem are combined, reducing air resistance. This design makes the bike more aerodynamic, offering a 4-watt advantage against the wind, which is crucial in racing.

Made from lightweight and sturdy carbon fiber, the Rapide Cockpit is light yet sufficiently rigid to withstand intense sprints. This is vital for professional athletes as it allows for faster speed attainment without extra weight.

Recognizing that one-piece handlebar systems often lack adaptability for different riders, the creators of this system collaborated with professional bike fitting specialists. As a result, the Rapide Cockpit offers 15 different handlebar and stem combinations, catering to various racing styles and rider preferences. Additionally, the handlebar design is tailored for comfortable wrist positioning during sprints and while in an aerodynamic position.

Specifications:

• Aerodynamic Efficiency: The system saves 4 watts of energy compared to traditional aerodynamic bicycle handlebars due to its optimized shape, reducing air resistance.
• Material: Constructed from high-modulus carbon fiber for lightness and strength, reinforced with titanium stem bolts.
• Size and Options: Offers 15 different size and shape combinations, ranging from 75mm x 380mm to 125mm x 440cm, allowing for the optimal choice based on individual rider needs.
