We’ve seen the future, and it’s 1x pure and simple. That’s proven by the growing interest in road bikes with wide ratio, 12 and 13 speed drivetrains and single chainrings.
Our single-mindedness gives us greater focus. And resulted in the R+1, a road bike with breathtaking performance, efficiency and comfort. Available in an Alto 880g frameset for wireless shifting and a Strato 1100g frameset with cable ports, the R+1takes some beating - whether pumping along the flat or powering up a Col.

R+1 frame.Stiffer. Simpler. Better
1x is no fad. It's the logical next step for road bikes. Lose the second chainring and you gain a beautiful symmetry. Nothing is offset, with a perfectly balanced downtube, bottom bracket and chainstay contributing to 30% greater lateral stiffness. Tube shapes are designed to maximise aero efficiency, and with less cabling (especially in the Alto version) streamlining is optimal and clutter minimal.
Seatstays and chainstays.Comfortably better performance
By replacing the double chain ring with a single, the chain stays complement the symmetrical design. And deliver far more bang for your buck. The unique seat stays profile is more aero and boosts rider comfort for lung busting climbs as well as handling confidence for those long, head down descents.
Combo bars. Bars with cable-ability
Vital statistics: Carbon fibre 385g, 6° flair, 80mm drop. Plain English: Excellent performance and comfort by being rigid in the right places and compliant where needed. With seamless internal cabling and CNC alloy stem section for stiffness and safety, these are the perfect fit for the R+1 frameset.
Tyre clearance. From skinny up to 32mm
Optimum performance? Look no further than the 30-32mm tyres accommodated by the R+1. Proven to offer less rolling resistance and rider fatigue and, when combined with the unique features of the R+1 frame, offering greater aero advantages. The perfect pairing.
Vielo crankarm and chainrings. Optimising the groupset
Specially tweaked chainrings and cranks bring out the best in the R+1 frame. Vielo chainrings are used with SRAM builds and forged at high tolerance from solid billets of 7075 alloy for maximum stiffness. They’re direct mount and available from 38 to 50 tooth. If you prefer, Vielo drop-forged alloy crank arms are teamed with Shimano builds. They offer incredible stiffness and come in a choice of 170 to 175mm.
R+1 Alto
Weighing in at just 880g, the R+1 Alto frame comes with two SRAM groupset options and Zipp 303s or DT Swiss ERC 1400 wheels as standard. Choose wheel upgrades and other custom options to create your perfect Alto in terms of build and budget.
R+1 Strato
Tipping the scales at 1100g the R+1 Strato frame comes in a number of variants: two Shimano groupset options with DT Swiss ER1600 / E1800 wheels, or the Campagnolo EKAR groupset with DT Swiss ER1600 wheels. Choose wheel upgrades and other custom options to create your perfect Strato in terms of build and budget.
