Escapapresents the Roval Rapide Cockpit one-piece handlebar/stem set.

The Roval Rapide Cockpit Handlebar/Stem is much more than just the fastest way to reach the finish line. It’s the fastest Roval Rapide Cockpit Handlebar/Stem we’ve ever built, featuring aerodynamic improvements and a four-watt savings over the already ultra-fast two-piece Rapide handlebar and Tarmac SL7 stem.

But to deliver a performance advantage that translates into a winning edge, it takes more than just pure aerodynamics. The goal of Roval’s engineering team was simple:the Roval Rapide Cockpit Handlebar/Stem had to be the fastest ever made, with no compromises. It’s aerodynamic, lightweight, stiff, and designed in collaboration with the world’s best cyclists and our Retül fit experts so you can claim victory.

AERODYNAMICS:

Eliminating the hardware assembly (where the stem and handlebars connect) allowed us to design the leading edge of the handlebars as a single aerodynamic profile. We optimized this aerodynamic profile to provide maximum advantage in clean air at speeds ranging from long solo breaks to full-throttle World Tour sprints. While a four-watt improvement may seem small, it translates to a 32-centimeter advantage in a 250-meter final sprint. When races are won by the bike’s launch, this is a winning difference.

LIGHTWEIGHT AND STIFF:

By removing the stem’s bolt assembly, the Rapide Cockpit is 50 grams lighter (100mm x 420mm) than a two-piece Rapide handlebar. Made from premium high-modulus carbon fiber, which provides ideal stiffness for the World Tour’s biggest and fastest sprinters, the Rapide Cockpit has a higher stiffness-to-weight ratio than any two-piece system we’ve ever built.

FIT:

The drawback of one-piece cockpits has long been fit, but we’ve partnered with our Retül fit professionals and the world’s best cyclists to ensure that nearly every rider can find their ideal fit. We offer 15 different stem and handlebar combinations, all at -6 degrees, so we’ve got your race-day position covered. The radius from the top to the drops has been sculpted to free up the wrist, whether you’re out of the saddle in a final sprint or in an aero position, while the bend and flare mirror our favorite Rapide bar.
