The Grifn RS features an optimized carbon structure and aerodynamic enhancements.
The Grifn RS features an optimized carbon structure, making it even lighter than the Grifn. Additionally, it includes several aerodynamic optimizations, such as the aerodynamic shape of the seat tube with D-shaped seat post and the integrated diffuser on the fork.
You can easily switch from a 'road-setup' to an 'offroad-setup' with the Grifn RS. The Grifn RS excels on both regular roads and gravel paths thanks to its well-thought-out and highly appreciated all-road geometry. The frame also has various mounting points so you can choose your personalized setup with the right bike bags and fenders. With tires up to 42 millimeters, it is suitable for any terrain. Like the Grifn, the Grifn RS also features the option to route the cable for a rear light through the top tube.
Furthermore, the integrated front derailleur clamp stands out, which is also easy to remove or can be replaced by an aero chain guide. The Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) and CeramicSpeed SLT bearings make the Grifn RS the best all-road bike in the range.
The geometry of the Grifn is the superb overlap of a stiff racing and a tolerant off-road frame. The goal is a reactive and nimble riding feel while keeping stable handling on off-road terrain. The head tube angle of the Grifn is slightly flatter than the head tube angle of a road bike, but sharper compared to a gravel bike. This results in a completely new geometry, specifically designed for the all-road segment.
With the Grifn family, you can hit the road as well as the off-road. You simply change wheelsets and do a gran fondo gravel on Saturday and hit the road the day after with the regular cycling club. With this family, you no longer need any other bikes.
Features:
- Diffuser fork crown: The fork crown has an integrated diffuser to reduce drag. The airflow passes more easily through the fork crown while extra energy is added to it, resulting in less drag in the area behind the fork and headtube.
- Lightweight carbon frame: The lighter weight of the Grifn RS is the result of an optimized carbon structure and the use of lighter and stiffer carbon fibers, resulting in a weight improvement of 140 grams compared to the Grifn.
- Optimized tire clearance: For the Grifn RS, the brand opts for a slightly wider tire clearance compared to the Grifn. With 42 millimeters, this typically provides ample capability to handle a variety of gravel obstacles.
- Personalized setup: The frame features three mounting points on and under the downtube, as well as on the seattube, allowing you to customize the positioning of your bottle cages in conjunction with a frame bag. Additionally, there are two mounting points on the top tube for a top tube bag or toolkit, cleverly concealed under a cover.
- Cable routing for lights: Like every bike in the Grifn family, you have the option to route the cable for a rear light through the top tube. This internal cable routing for the dynamo hub is also concealed in the fork leg.
- Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH): This derailleur hanger is compatible with all modern shifting groups and protects against derailleur breakage and chain drops.
