RT57 shortlisted for Bike Of The Year

We love the RT57, and clearly we're not alone. Riders up and down the country are loving them too, as are the journalists at C+ magazine who have shortlisted it for their "Bike Of The Year". Heaping praise on the Red model they tested - some quotes include:-

"the RT-57 is remarkable value for money at its reduced price. Far and away the best equipped bike in the Bike of the Year test"

"a bike that’s ready for a dogfight. The sharp front end gives quick steering responses at low speeds; at speed in a straight line the minimum of rider input is needed, though high-speed corners need a little more attention. When mixing it up in a bunch, the knife-edge handling means you can react instantly."

"As a full-on race bike it’s close to the Cannondale SuperSix in terms of performance".

We've added carbon bars to "soften" the front end up a little in line with their suggestions, and fitted the excellent FSA SL-K Light Compact BB30 Chainset with 50/34 rings to bring the bike more in line with what our customers were wanting.
