Chapter2 Rere Disc brake frameset is a all out aero race bike with a comfortable ride and all the wind cheating features of a fast and fantastic looking machine.
As with any new frame design project, the geometry is the foundation to an awesome ride. Using an extensive database of ergonomic data we were able to map out the ideal geometry that matches both the seasoned pro and weekend warrior. The RERE’s geometry has a linear stack and reach correlation from XS all the way to XL just like the human body.
Married to this balanced geometry is a beautifully designed aerodynamic form factor that accelerates the whole experience, employing vibration dampening “kinked” chainstays and directional high tensile carbon in the BB and head tube areas for engineered compliance, power transfer and steering “like it’s on rails”.
Whilst the RERE has been designed to be an aerodynamic race machine, no short cuts have been taken to ensure that overall sensation is silky smooth with climbing traits expected of a pro level rig. The fork crown has been seamlessly sculpted to the aero fork leg and designed to be used with aerodynamically superior Direct Mount brakes that also offer more tire clearance.
We know that your bike is an extension of your lifestyle, as it is ours. And we know how important it is to have bragging rights to the coolest looking kit on your local bunch ride/race. CHAPTER2 bikes come in two different collections. The ESSENTIAL Collection is the tried and tested but still uniquely CHAPTER2 Matt + Gloss Black. The LIMITED Edition changes every 6-8 months and is produced in limited quantities only. Once sold out The LIMITED Edition design, will never be produced again. This gives you the opportunity to own a unique design statement and stand out from the crowd.
The whole package is finished off with a compliant dual orientation (TT/Tri) carbon seatpost, concealed integrated seatclamp, internal cabling and a matching stem and headset to create an elegant yet exhilarating ride.
If you want the total package, we also offer the MANA Bar + Stem system for precision steering and engineered compliance in a form factor that slices through the air.
Toray® T700, T800 & 3K Directional Carbon.
Thru Axles are NOT included.
The CHAPTER2 pattern symbolises “the road less Traveled” with the elements in this design, the story begins with the pattern that starts this design, the Raranga pattern on both ends symbolizes that this ties into the land and that the land is woven into the fabric of the people. The Mangopare Kowhaiwhai comes next this shows direction and travel just like the hammer head shark in which this pattern is inspired by it symbolises that travel is about moving forward and exploring new places. The Paemaunga element that sits in three symbolises a mountain range interlocking that with the “Kete o te wananga” element which symbolises knowledge and the acquisition of knowledge, together they show that the mountain range is a road that you have much to learn from and that it is the road that less traveled. The multiple Kowhaiwhai elements in the center symbolises the rivers and the diversity of the New Zealand terrain and finally the center piece Kowhaiwhai symbolises the unity and respect between the land and its people.
