Bicycle Standards
If you’ve ever tried to swap out a bottom bracket, fit a new thru axle, or replace the headset, you’ve probably felt the frustration of cycling’s maze of standards.
All About Bicycle Chains
A bicycle chain might seem like a simple component, but it plays a critical role in transferring your pedaling power into forward motion. It meshes precisely with the chainrings and cassette to keep your drivetrain running smoothly. And when you’re pushing hard—whether you’re climbing a steep hill or sprinting flat-out—that chain has to withstand immense forces.
Rapidé’s LSL Frame Geometry: Long, Slack and Low
Rapidé’s Long Slack and Low geometry has many advantages including increased confidence riding steep terrain – even at high speeds.

1 x Part 1: Why convert to a 1 x Single Chainring Drivetrain?
Upgrading your drivetrain to a 1 × system is an innovative and easy way to drop weight, reduce the chance of mechanicals and create a clean, efficient drivetrain.
Single Speed? Part 3: Cost and Time Savings
Maintenance on a single speed bike in terms of both cost and time are so much lower than on a geared bike. With no derailleurs to tune and cables to clean, adjust and lubricate all you have to do is take care of your chain.
