Joining their aluminum and titanium options, the new Radon Regard carbon gravel bike delivers a more integrated, streamlined look without losing its capacity for flair. Or flare.
The frames have multi-position bottle cage mounts on the downtube and seat tube, plus top tube bento bag mounts and accessory mounts underneath, neat the seat tube junction. Fender and rack mounts on the back, plus tons of mounts on the fork, let you compete with TGI Friday’s vests for sticking personal tchotchkes on it. (Get it? Flair? No? OK, maybe go watch Office Space).
For Flare, the one-piece integrated cockpit hides all the brake hoses (and anything else) inside and ends with shallow depth, widely flared drops. The bar/stem combo is size specific, ranging from 70mm/400mm on size XS to 90mm/440mm on the XL…and that’s stem width and bar width at the hoods, so total bar width is more.
The seatpost is 27.2 and also carbon, designed with intentional flex to improve comfort. All models come with 700x47mm tires. They don’t list max tire clearance, but from the looks of it, 50s should be no problem.
Four models offered:
- REGARD 7.0 (2,599 €; elephant / black; 8,80 kg)
- REGARD 8.0 (3,199 €; hunter / deepblack; 8,45 kg)
