Redchilli FR2 “Puncheur”

Redchilli FR2 Puncheur

The Super‑Light Race Bike Built for Speed and Climbing

The UCI‑approved Redchilli FR2 is our super‑light, ultra‑responsive race bike — built for riders who love to attack climbs, accelerate hard, and dance across rolling terrain. If you thrive on punchy efforts and explosive power, the FR2 belongs on your shortlist.

The FR2 delivers performance everywhere. Whether you’re driving across flat roads, attacking short climbs, carving through tight corners, or descending with confidence, the FR2 feels lively, assured, and eager to respond. Its lightweight construction and agile geometry give it a dynamic, energetic ride feel, while our Redchilli IRB‑S super‑light, fully integrated carbon cockpit completes the performance package.

Punchy Acceleration Meets Agile Control
Designed as the definitive all‑rounder, the FR2 rewards every watt you put through the pedals. The semi‑aero tube profiles help reduce drag at speed, while the rear triangle is engineered to smooth out rolling gradients and deliver that all‑important kick when the road tilts skyward. The FR2 accelerates with intent — always hunting for your next PB.

Whatever the terrain, the FR2 is fast. Very fast.

Example bike builds

  • Every single Redchilli FR2 is hand built here in Great Britain.
  • Our lightest ever disc brake frameset weighing on average 780g (raw finish).
  • Manufactured using high grade T1100 carbon to provide the perfect balance for strength and lightness.
  • Semi-Aero down tube which provides a noticeable advantage on the flats, but also improves climbing ability.
  • Sensible carbon layup that not only delivers performance, but understands that you also want to be comfortable.
  • Full internal cable routing for a clean look and improved aerodynamic efficiency.
  • Aerodynamic head tube reduces flex.
  • Box section rear triangle greatly improves torsional stiffness and improves climbing.
  • Semi-Aerodynamic seat tube reduces rear wheel turbulence.
  • Rigorous testing ensures our frames meet and surpass ISO 4012 standards.
  • Max tyre 700*32 giving you greater options, as let’s be honest, we don’t always get to ride on perfect asphalt.

  • Every FR2 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 in bar rotation and lever positioning. The FR2’s lively, agile ride feel means getting your cockpit dialled in is especially important, and we’ll help you find the perfect setup.
  • If you’re able to visit us in Axminster, we offer full bike‑fitting and saddle‑fitting services to ensure your FR2 matches your riding style, flexibility, and preferred position. And of course, we’ll make you 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 FR2 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 FR2 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 all‑round race machine comes to life.

FR2 Geometry Overview:

  • Redchilli FR2 “Puncheur”

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

Recommended Rider Height:

Size 45 — 4’9″–5’2″ (145 – 157cm)

Contact us

The FR2 Puncheur is ideal for riders who want a lightweight, lively race bike that excels across varied terrain. If you love attacking short climbs, accelerating out of corners, and riding with a dynamic, energetic feel, the FR2 will feel instantly at home beneath you.

The FR2’s geometry and carbon layup are tuned for responsiveness, making it a great choice for riders who value agility and quick handling. It’s equally at ease on rolling roads, technical lanes, and fast group rides, where its balanced fit and efficient power transfer help you stay strong throughout the ride.

If you prefer a bike that feels light on its feet, rewards every watt you put in, and gives you the confidence to push harder on climbs and twisty descents, the FR2 is the right match. And whether you want a race‑sharp position or a slightly more endurance‑focused setup, we’ll help you dial in the perfect fit during your custom build consultation.

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