The Rapide is both fast and fun whatever your destination

The Rapide cross country hardtail takes all the great characteristics from its carbon big brother. It’s fast, it’s fun and will put a smile on your face. The alloy boost frameset features tried and tested geometry to allow you to reach your true potential

The Rapide is built to be fast and fun. With the superb 100mm Rockshox Recon Silver RL forks with OneLoc remote to lock out suspension on the fly providing maximum speed on the climbs. Shimano's performance 1x10 Deore wide range drivetrain ensures you have enough gears for even the steepest climbs. Shimano's MT401 brakes give you enough stopping power for the rewarding descents.
