It boasts an Alloy Hybrid frame that is both lightweight and strong, ensuring durability and comfort during every ride. Unlike many bikes in its category, this model features a rigid front fork, which provides precise control and handling on even the trickiest terrains.

Equipped with Alloy Double Wall 36H Rims, the wheels of the Rapide 21S are designed for resilience and performance. These rims are paired with 700 x 35C tires, known for their excellent grip and smooth rolling capability on various surfaces. An extra plus is the presence of quick-release (QR) mechanisms on both the front wheel and the seat post, allowing for easy adjustments and swift removal when required.
At the heart of the Rapide 21S is its efficient drivetrain that combines high-quality components from Shimano. The bike features Shimano EF500 7-speed shifters for smooth and precise gear shifts. The Steel Crankset comprises three chainrings (28/38/48T), giving you plenty of range for climbing hills or speeding down descents. The drivetrain also includes a VP-BC73 Sealed Cartridge bottom bracket, ensuring a maintenance-free and smooth pedaling experience. The Shimano TZ21 14-28T, 7-speed freewheel adds extra versatility, making it easier to manage different terrains.
No detail is too small when it comes to the performance components of the Rapide 21S. The bike is outfitted with a Steel 27.2 x 300mm seat post and a 600mm steel handlebar with a 30mm rise, ensuring rider comfort and control. The ZOOM Alloy adjustable stem at 28.6mm allows you to find the perfect riding angle, while the threadless steel 1-1/8" headset adds to the bike’s durability and smooth steering.
Safety is paramount, and the Rapide 21S does not disappoint in this regard. It features an Alloy "V" brake system, providing reliable stopping power in various weather conditions. The Shimano EF500 brake levers are integrated with the gear shifters, offering an ergonomic and efficient design that allows for quick and responsive braking.
For added convenience and comfort, the Rapide 21S includes HL grips that help to reduce hand fatigue over long rides. The whole package is designed to offer you the best of both worlds – the efficiency and speed of a road bike coupled with the ruggedness and versatility of a mountain bike.
