A revolution in road bike design
The favorite one of the bicycle will understand that RB-01 is a unique shape.The RB-01 road bike’s unique design is inspired by cheetah raciing foward at full speed.
Generally, the road motorcycle frame is designed within the rule that UCI (association of international bicycle race) determines, and the thing which secured the safety as the bicycle can participate in a race. Therefore, as for the frame designed in conformity with terms, all brands become the similar shape.
While the road motorcycle of SantilloCicli is an unprecedented unique shape, it is a safe frame in conformity with UCI rule.
This bike has very neutral riding position to match all riding styles.
The light carbon composite frame and flat-mounted hydraulic brakes give the rider excellent control and adility ready for any contion.
