2019 Rondo RUUT CF2 Carbon Gravel Bike Black/Black

Flex Design - The first variable geometry gravel bike in the world.

The Ruut range was born from the need to have a REALY versatile bike. One that would be comfortable enough for backpacking and long distance riding, but at the same time would retain a clearly sporty character.

RUUT CF is built around a lightweight carbon frame with some unique features created by an awarded team of bike designers. The lateraly rigid front triangle will transfer all your energy during those out of the saddle sprints, whereas the compliant rear end with flex points on seat stays, top tube and seat tube will take the edge off potholes and bumps - to the extent that we noticed some riders actually checking if there isn't a big volume MTB tire sitting on their rear wheel! In other words, the RUUT CF is perfect for covering long distance off road, but there is no compromise in power transmission.

The most significant innovation is the award winning, carbon TwinTip fork that allows  you to adjust the geometry to your personal preferences and riding style. The HI position setting, with steeper angles, smaller trail and a lower riding position will be the choice for racing and dynamic, sporty riding. The alternative fork setting gives the bike slacker angles, longer trail and a slightly more relaxed riding position, making it ideal for long distance adventure riding, endurance training or commuting. Go fast or go long. You choose. 

Whether it’s cyclocross racing, endurance touring, or just exploring well off the beaten path, Rondo’s Ruut CF2 Gravel Bike will allow you to push onwards regardless of how poor the weather is, or what the terrain is like. Built around Rondo’s Flex Design EPS carbon fibre frame, you’ll enjoy strong, direct and immediate power transfer to get you up to speed quickly. The Ruut CF2 also has a low overall weight, so you can efficiently and easily climb even the toughest slopes.

World-first Design

In a world first design for dropbar bikes, the Ruut CF2 features Rondo’s “TwinTip” forks, which enable the rider to change the geometry to suit the terrain/riding type. This is thanks to their adjustable dropouts, which can be set in the “HI” setting for steeper angles for a low and racey road bike feel, or the “LO” setting for a slightly longer wheelbase and slacker angles, making it ideal for endurance or off-road adventure riding.

Mudguard and Pannier Pack Ready

Finishing off this fantastic package is Rondo’s sealed bearing disc wheels, which are ready for riding in all weather and terrain types. Also, SRAM’s Rival 1 hydraulic disc brakes help you to scrub your speed in all conditions. The Ruut CF2 comes prepared with mudguard eyelets and rack mounts, ensuring you can be prepared for anything.
