Reserve RD1 Cockpit
Clean. Fast. Ergonomic.
The Reserve RD1 is more than just a sleek aesthetic upgrade; it’s a structural performance boost. By eliminating the bolts and faceplates of a traditional bar-and-stem combo, Reserve has created a cockpit that is exceptionally stiff under sprinting loads while being remarkably compliant over rough asphalt. With fully internal cable routing, it transforms your bike into a seamless, wind-cheating machine.
Why the RD1 is the Ultimate Cockpit Upgrade:
-
Optimized Aero Profile: The tops are shaped with a truncated airfoil design that reduces drag without being so wide that they become uncomfortable to hold. It’s "free speed" that you can feel on every solo breakaway.
-
Pro-Level Stiffness-to-Weight: Using premium high-modulus carbon fiber, the RD1 offers a rock-solid platform for out-of-the-saddle efforts. Whether you're climbing a steep grade or sprinting for a city-limit sign, there is zero wasted energy.
-
Internal Routing Excellence: Designed specifically for electronic shifting and hydraulic braking, the RD1 hides your hoses and wires entirely from the wind. It creates a "pro-look" front end that is as fast as it looks.
-
Ergonomic Drop Shape: Featuring a modern, compact drop with a subtle flare, the RD1 provides a comfortable transition between the hoods and the drops. It gives you more control and a better wrist position when you’re "in the basement" during a fast descent.
-
Vibration Damping Carbon: Carbon fiber is naturally better at absorbing high-frequency road buzz than aluminum. The RD1 is tuned to soak up the chatter of chip-seal roads, keeping your hands and shoulders fresher for the final kilometers of a long ride.
-
Integrated Computer Mount: The underside of the bar features a discrete, secure mounting point for integrated out-front computer mounts, keeping your GPS head unit in line with the aero profile of the bar.
