Redchilli FR1 “Rouleur”

Redchilli FR1 Rouleur

The UCI‑Approved, Full Aero Race Bike Built for Pure Speed

If you want something truly special, the Redchilli FR1 carbon road bike delivers uncompromising race performance. UCI approved and engineered for riders who demand speed, stability, and precision, FR1 is built for everyday road riders through to elite racers chasing every competitive advantage.

FR1 is our flagship aero road bike — engineered for riders who want maximum speed, uncompromising stiffness, and race‑level efficiency. Whether you’re sprinting, climbing, or pushing long solo efforts, the FR1 delivers explosive acceleration and total control.

Aero Efficiency Meets Total Control
Every element of the FR1 has been optimised for aerodynamic performance and confident handling. The drag‑minimising aero head tube creates the perfect entry point for airflow while increasing torsional stiffness and enabling full internal cable routing for a clean, race‑ready front end.

The aerodynamically sculpted tube profiles ensure smooth airflow from head tube to rear wheel. A wheel‑hugging seat tube shields the leading edge of the rear wheel, dramatically reducing turbulence and maximising straight‑line speed. The result is a bike that feels fast, planted, and incredibly stable — even at full gas.

Why Riders Choose FR1

  • Race-proven aero performance
  • Exceptional stability at high speed
  • Fully integrated, one-piece carbon cockpit
  • Custom-built to your fit and riding style

Example bike builds

  • UCI‑approved full aero race frameset, eligible for all sanctioned racing and engineered for uncompromising speed.
  • Every FR1 is assembled in Axminster, Devon with precision, care, and race‑ready attention to detail.
  • The ultra‑light 950g frameset (raw finish) delivers explosive acceleration and effortless climbing performance.
  • A premium Toray T700/T800 carbon blend is used to maximise stiffness‑to‑weight ratio and provide elite‑level responsiveness.
  • The performance‑tuned carbon layup is engineered to deliver race stiffness while maintaining long‑ride comfort and control.
  • Full internal cable routing keeps the bike clean, aerodynamic, and optimised for reduced drag at race speeds.
  • An oversized bottom bracket and chainstays transfer every watt directly into forward motion for powerful sprinting and climbing.
  • The aero‑sculpted seat tube shields the rear wheel and significantly reduces turbulence for improved straight‑line speed.
  • Rigorous ISO 4210 testing ensures the frameset exceeds international safety and performance standards for complete race confidence.
  • Clearance for 700×32 tyres gives you more grip, more comfort, and more speed on real‑world roads and race circuits.

  • Every FR1 custom build begins with choice. You can select from our super‑light, fully integrated one‑piece carbon cockpits — the Redchilli IRB‑S or IRB‑V — or choose a separate handlebar and stem for maximum adjustability for bar rotation and lever positioning.
  • If you’re able to visit us in Axminster, we offer full bike‑fitting and saddle‑fitting services to ensure your FR1 is dialled perfectly to your position and riding style. And yes, we make an excellent cup of tea or coffee while we work through the details.
  • If visiting isn’t possible, we can arrange a detailed video consultation, telephone call, or email discussion. This allows us to understand your fit, preferences, and performance goals so we can build your FR1 exactly the way you want it.
  • You can choose from our signature colour range, special finishes, or create your own custom design. It’s Your Bike – Your Way, and we’re here to help you bring your vision to life. (Additional charges may apply for full custom paint. Please enquire).
  • After your consultation, we’ll provide a detailed build specification sheet along with 2–6 tailored build options, each with clear pricing. Build times vary depending on frame availability and paint choice: Signature Edition builds can be ready in as little as 7–10 days, while full custom paint typically takes 5–7 weeks. We’ll keep you updated throughout the process.
  • Once your frame and components are ready, your FR1 is hand‑built here in Axminster. You’re welcome to visit for a test‑fit before final assembly — and enjoy another cup of tea or coffee while your race machine comes to life.

Contact us

FR1 is ideal if you want a fast, aero‑optimised road race bike that rewards powerful riding and delivers exceptional stability at speed. It suits riders who enjoy sprinting, fast group rides, long solo efforts, and confident descending. If you’re looking for pure speed with precision handling, the FR1 is built for you.

If you prefer a slightly more relaxed or upright position, this can be achieved by building your FR1 with our Redchilli IRB‑V integrated carbon cockpit. Its 40mm riser stem increases front‑end height and allows for a more endurance‑friendly fit without compromising performance.

If speed isn’t your primary goal, or you prefer a more comfort‑focused ride, our SR1 and SR2 road bikes may be a better match. These models are designed around endurance geometry and all‑day comfort while still delivering excellent performance.
