Built to dominate everything from solo breakaways to high-speed sprints, the Rapide Cockpit saves a measurable 4 watts over traditional aero road handlebars, giving you a decisive advantage when it matters most.
Advanced Aerodynamics for Competitive Advantage
By eliminating the traditional stem-to-handlebar junction, the Roval Rapide Cockpit features a clean, uninterrupted airfoil leading edge. This innovative design ensures airflow remains smooth and efficient, optimised for real-world racing speeds.
A 4-watt saving may sound minimal, but over a 250m sprint, it can translate into a 32cm lead, often the difference between winning and losing.
Lightweight Carbon Construction with Pro-Level Stiffness
Constructed from premium high-modulus carbon fibre, this lightweight aero cockpit delivers exceptional strength and responsiveness. The integrated design removes unnecessary hardware, making it 50g lighter than the two-piece Rapide bar and Tarmac SL7 stem combination.
The result is a superior stiffness-to-weight ratio, ensuring explosive power transfer for sprinters and stability for high-speed riding.
Optimised Fit with Multiple Size Options
Unlike traditional one-piece cockpits, the Roval Rapide Cockpit is designed with fit in mind. Developed alongside Retül bike fit specialists, it offers 15 size combinations to suit a wide range of riders and positions.
- Stem lengths: 75mm to 125mm
- Bar widths: 380mm to 440mm
- Fixed -6° stem angle for race-optimised positioning
The ergonomic shaping ensures excellent wrist clearance, whether sprinting out of the saddle or maintaining an aggressive aero position.
Race-Ready Ergonomics & Compatibility
The cockpit retains the proven geometry of the Rapide handlebar, including a 127mm drop, 75mm reach, and 4° flare, providing comfort, control, and confidence in all riding conditions.
It also features fully integrated cable routing, compatible with leading drivetrain systems including Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo (electronic setups supported).
