Redchilli FR2 “Puncheur” Frameset

Redchilli FR2 “Puncheur” Frameset

The UCI‑Approved, Super‑Light Race Platform Built for Elevation and Agility

If you want a frameset that delivers explosive climbing acceleration and a lively, responsive race feel, the Redchilli FR2 Frameset gives you the same super‑light, semi‑aero performance as our FR2 complete bike — now with the freedom to build your perfect machine. UCI approved and engineered for riders who thrive on elevation, agility, and punchy power, the FR2 frameset is the ideal foundation for a high‑performance custom build.

The FR2 is our super‑light race platform — designed for riders who want rapid acceleration, agile handling, and confident control on every gradient. Whether you’re transferring components from your current bike or planning a full bespoke build, the FR2 frameset delivers a dynamic, energetic ride feel that rewards every watt.

Every element of the FR2 chassis has been engineered to maximise climbing performance while maintaining meaningful aerodynamic advantage. The semi‑aero tube profiles help reduce drag at speed, while the lightweight construction ensures rapid, responsive acceleration when the road tilts skyward.

The result is a frameset that feels lively, precise, and incredibly efficient — whether you’re attacking steep climbs, carving through technical corners, or driving across rolling terrain.

  • Build Your FR2 Your Way
    The FR2 Frameset gives you complete freedom to create a bike that matches your riding style, fit, and preferred components. Transfer high‑quality parts from your existing bike or start fresh with a full custom build — the FR2 is designed to accommodate both mechanical and electronic groupsets, lightweight climbing wheelsets, and your choice of finishing kit.
    If you already own a premium groupset, wheels, or cockpit, the FR2 Frameset allows you to carry those components forward while upgrading to a super‑light, semi‑aero race platform. It’s the ideal solution for riders who want top‑tier performance without replacing equipment they already trust.
  • Professional Component Transfer Service
    Prefer us to handle the build? Bring us your existing bike and we’ll transfer your components with the same precision and care applied to every Redchilli build. Everything is fitted, aligned, and performance‑checked to ensure your FR2 rides exactly as it should.

To guarantee perfect compatibility, we’ll also identify any components that may need updating — such as bottom bracket or headset — ensuring your transition to the FR2 Frameset is smooth, efficient, and fully optimised.

FR2 Geometry Overview

  • Redchilli FR2 "Puncheur" Frameset

The FR2 is designed around a balanced, all‑round race geometry that delivers agility on climbs, stability on descents, and a lively, responsive feel across rolling terrain. The geometry is tuned to help you stay powerful on short, punchy efforts while maintaining comfort and control on longer rides.

The FR2 offers a slightly more compact, agile fit compared with the FR1, giving it a naturally lively ride feel. Stack and reach measurements are carefully balanced to keep you centred over the bike, improving handling on technical roads and helping you maintain power when the gradient changes quickly. The rear triangle is tuned for stiffness under load, giving you that instant kick when you accelerate.

Key Geometry Traits:

  • Agile, all-round race position
  • Lively handling on rolling terrain
  • Responsive steering for technical climbs and descents
  • Balanced stack and reach for versatile fi
  • Stiff rear triangle for explosive power transfer
