TESTS AND WARRANTY
Agree by
When it came to testing this new RC520 bike, we certainly didn't hold back. In the lab, the bike passed all of the tests for the most demanding standards, as well as additional tests that helped guide our design choices (geometry, fork rigidity, etc.). But that wasn't all. We also put it through its paces on the road. We tackled some legendary routes (Paris-Roubaix, Tour des Flandres, the Ardéchoise, etc.) as well as our lunchtime rides and even gravel rides and long-distance rides with panniers
Parts guarantee
Lifetime warranty on the frame, handlebar, and stem; 5-year warranty on the fork
