Redchilli FR2 Puncheur

The UCI-Approved Super-Light Race Bike. Built for Climbers.

The Redchilli FR2 Puncheur combines an ultra-lightweight carbon chassis with responsive race handling to create a bike that thrives on climbs, punchy accelerations and fast rolling terrain. Like its FR1 sibling, the FR2 is UCI Approved, delivering race-ready performance in a package that’s around 250 grams lighter than the equivalent FR1 frameset.

Every FR2 begins with a conversation. From your riding position and component choice to custom paint and finishing touches, every detail is tailored to create a bike that’s uniquely yours.

Whether you’re chasing summit KOMs, attacking short climbs or simply enjoying the unmistakable feel of a lightweight race bike, the FR2 rewards every effort with explosive acceleration, agile handling and exceptional climbing performance.

Your Bike. Your Way.

Why Riders Choose FR2

  • UCI Approved Super-Light Race Frameset
  • Individually Built Around You
  • Hand Assembled in Devon
  • Custom Colour Options
  • Professional Bike Fit & Consultation
Example bike builds

  • Every single Redchilli FR2 is hand assembled here in Great Britain.
    very bike begins with a conversation, allowing us to build around the rider rather than asking the rider to adapt to the bike. From component choice and gearing to finishing details and custom paint, every FR2 is individually assembled to deliver a truly personal riding experience.
  • Our Lightest Disc Brake Race Frameset
    At approximately 780g (raw finish), the FR2 represents the lightest frameset ever produced by Redchilli. Around 250g lighter than its FR1 sibling, every gram has been carefully considered to create a bike that accelerates instantly, climbs effortlessly and responds immediately when the road turns upwards.

    Rather than simply reducing weight for the sake of a number on a scale, the FR2 has been engineered to retain the stiffness, confidence and durability expected from a modern race bike.
  • Premium Toray T1100 Carbon Construction
    The FR2 is manufactured using premium Toray T1100 carbon fibre, selected for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio.

    By carefully controlling the carbon lay-up throughout the frame, we’ve created a chassis that’s incredibly light while remaining reassuringly stiff under hard acceleration and predictable through high-speed descents.

    The result is a race bike that feels fast everywhere—not just uphill.
  • Semi-Aero Where It Matters
    Unlike a full aero race bike, the FR2 has been engineered to balance aerodynamic efficiency with exceptionally low weight.

    The semi-aero frontal tube profiles reduce drag where it matters most while avoiding unnecessary material elsewhere, helping preserve the lively, responsive ride characteristics that define the FR2.

    This makes it equally at home attacking rolling terrain as it is climbing mountain roads.
  • Tuned for Climbing Performance
    The distinctive box-section rear triangle, combined with lowered seat stays, has been specifically engineered to maximise torsional stiffness during hard efforts.

    Every watt transferred through the pedals is delivered efficiently to the rear wheel, producing the immediate acceleration and responsive climbing behaviour that inspired the FR2 Puncheur name.

    Whether launching an attack or dancing out of the saddle, the bike responds instantly.
  • A Carbon Lay-Up That Understands Real Roads
    While outright performance has always been the priority, comfort hasn’t been sacrificed.
    The carefully developed carbon lay-up helps absorb road vibration and reduce rider fatigue, creating a race bike that’s capable of long sportives, challenging mountain days and fast club rides without feeling harsh.

    Because the fastest rider isn’t always the one producing the most power—it’s often the one who feels freshest after four hours in the saddle
  • Clean Integration
    Every FR2 features full internal cable routing together with the Redchilli IRB-S fully integrated carbon cockpit.

    The result is a clean, uncluttered front end that improves aerodynamic efficiency while creating a refined premium appearance and precise steering feel.
  • Confidence, Wherever the Road Leads
    Every Redchilli FR2 undergoes rigorous testing to meet and exceed ISO 4210 standards before reaching production.

    Combined with clearance for tyres up to 700 × 32c, the FR2 is ready for today’s real roads—not just perfectly smooth race circuits. Because let’s be honest… We don’t always get to ride on perfect asphalt.

  • Every FR2 begins with a conversation
    From your riding position and preferred components to your gearing, wheel depth and colour scheme, every decision is made with one goal in mind: creating a bike that’s uniquely yours.
  • Dream. Believe. Achieve.
    Every Redchilli carries three words that reflect our philosophy: Dream. Believe. Achieve. They remind us that every bike begins with an ambition—and every build is created to help its owner achieve it. Whether your goal is racing, conquering Alpine climbs, completing your first sportive or simply enjoying every mile, we’ll help you create a bike that’s built around you.
  • Built Around You
    Choose from our fully integrated Redchilli IRB-S or IRB-V one-piece carbon cockpits, or opt for a separate handlebar and stem to achieve your preferred riding position and adjustment. Every build is tailored to suit your riding style, riding position, flexibility and performance goals.
  • A Personal Bike Fit

    Following your consultation, we’ll prepare a personalised build specification together with between two and six carefully considered build options, each with transparent pricing.
    Signature Edition builds can often be completed within 7–10 days, while bespoke paint finishes typically require 5–7 weeks.
    We’ll keep you updated throughout the entire process.
  • Hand Built. Personally Finished.
    Once your frame and components arrive, your FR2 is individually hand assembled here in Axminster. You’re welcome to return for a final test fit before completion—and yes, the kettle will be on while your new Redchilli comes to life. It’s one of our favourite parts of the entire process.

FR2 Geometry Overview:

  • Redchilli FR2 Puncheur


Race Geometry. Tailored to You.
The FR2 has been designed with a lightweight race geometry that delivers agile handling, confident climbing and exceptional responsiveness across every ride.

Key Geometry Traits:

  • Responsive climbing geometry
  • Agile, confidence-inspiring handling
  • Stable descending characteristics
  • Balanced fit across every frame size
  • Efficient power transfer

Recommended Rider Height:

Size 45 — 4’9″–5’2″ (145 – 157cm)

Built for Riders Who Love to Climb
The FR2 has been designed for riders who love attacking climbs, accelerating out of corners and making every ride feel energetic. Lightweight, agile and exceptionally responsive, it rewards riders who enjoy changing pace, dancing on the pedals and making every watt count.

Whether you’re chasing summit KOMs, tackling rolling terrain or simply appreciate the unmistakable feel of a truly lightweight race bike, the FR2 delivers confidence, responsiveness and speed in equal measure.

If your perfect ride includes climbing just as much as descending, the FR2 will feel right at home beneath you.

Lightweight Performance Without Compromise
Although the FR2 has been engineered as a super-light race bike, that doesn’t mean comfort has been overlooked.

Choose our Redchilli IRB-V one-piece integrated carbon cockpit and its 40mm riser stem provides a higher front-end position, creating a more relaxed riding posture while preserving the responsive handling and lively ride characteristics that define the FR2.

Not Quite What You’re Looking For?
If your priority is aerodynamic performance and maximum speed on flatter terrain, the FR1 Rouleur may be the better choice.

If your focus is all-day comfort over outright race performance, our SR1 Flamme Rouge and SR2 Échappée models offer a more relaxed riding position while retaining the responsive ride quality and hand-built attention to detail that define every Redchilli.

Choosing the Right Bike Starts with a Conversation
Not sure which model best suits your riding?

We’ll happily talk through your riding style, goals and experience before recommending the bike that’s genuinely right for you—even if that turns out not to be the FR2.

Because choosing the right bike is more important than simply choosing the lightest one—and we’re here to help you make the right decision.

Personal Contact

When you get in touch, you’ll speak directly with David, founder of Redchilli. We’ll discuss your riding, your goals and what you’re hoping to achieve, helping us understand exactly what you’re looking for before recommending a build.

Understanding You

We’ll talk through your sizing, riding style, flexibility, component preferences and budget to create a bike that’s tailored to you—not the average rider.

Your Personal Build Proposal

You’ll receive a personalised build proposal with carefully selected component options, clear pricing and expert recommendations.
No pressure. No obligation. Just honest advice to help you make the right decision.

Your Build Begins

Throughout the build, we’ll keep you updated so you always know how your new Redchilli is progressing.

Built, Checked and Ready to Ride

Every FR1 is individually hand assembled, thoroughly inspected and fully PDI checked before leaving our workshop.

Your completed Pre-Delivery Inspection report is personally signed by David, providing complete accountability and peace of mind.

When your bike is ready, you’re welcome to collect it from us—or, where practical, David will arrange a personal handover, ensuring your bike fits perfectly and answering any final questions before your first ride.


From your first conversation to your first ride, every Redchilli is built with one person in mind—you. That’s the difference between buying a bike and having one built especially for you.
