Roval Rapide Cockpit - 125mm x 440mm 4 Flare

The all-new Rapide Cockpit is more than just the fastest way to the finish line. It's the fastest leading edge Roval has ever made, putting aero gains in the clean air where they matter most and shaving four watts off the already ultra-quick two piece Rapide Bar and Tarmac SL7 Stem combination.Removing the cluster of hardware where the stem and handlebar connect allowed the engineering team to design the bar's leading edge as a single airfoil. This airfoil is optimized to provide maximum advantage in clean air at speeds seen from long solo breakaways to full gas World Tour sprints. A four watt improvement translates to a 32cm lead over a 250m final sprint-a winning difference when races are decided by bike throws.By removing the stem's hardware cluster, the Rapide Cockpit is 50 grams lighter than a two piece Rapide bar and Tarmac SL7 combo. Made from premium high-modulus carbon fiber, it delivers ideal stiffness for the biggest, fastest sprinters on the World Tour, with a higher stiffness-to-weight ratio than any two piece system Roval has ever made.The downside of one-piece cockpits has traditionally been fit, but Roval partnered with Retul fit professionals and the best riders in the world to ensure almost every rider can find their fit. The cockpit is offered in 15 different stem and bar combinations, all at -6 degrees, to cover race day positioning needs. The radius from tops to drops has been sculpted for wrist clearance whether out of the saddle in a final sprint or tucked in an aero position, while bend and flare reflect the favorite Rapide bar design.Important: If building your bike with the Rapide Cockpit, you must have at least 40mm of steerer tube above the last headset spacer for the cockpit to fit and function properly.
