Franco Bicycles (USA) – Press Release: Latigo RS1-D.

Image a top-tier italian constructed road bike with the best carbon, the best all-round performance and a stunning paint job. Include enough tire clearance to confidently take on anything the asphalt throws in the way, plus amazing braking power with little effort. Now add custom geometry for a perfect fit and your choice of the best parts on the market. That is the Latigo RS1-D.

Features that matter:

Hydraulic Flat Mount Disc Brakes:
Enjoy the exhilaration of descending full speed while staying in full control with the help of hydraulic flat mount disc brakes. Stealthily placed by the front and rear axles, flat mount disc brakes accentuate the beautiful lines of the Latigo RS1-D without drawing attention away from the frame. The Latigo RS1-D accommodates 140 or 160mm rotors with robust 12mm thru-axles front and back.

More Rubber:
Increase your confidence, ride confort, and terrain options without slowing down with up to 31.5mm of actual clearance.

Custom Geometry:
Everyone needs a perfect fitting bike. Custom geometry is for riders where stock is not enough. Whether you are outside the standard percentiles of size, you have specific flexibility requirements or you simply just want the aesthetics to be on point, fine tune your geometry and let you uniqueness be reflected in what you ride with a truly custom bike experience.

27.2 Post:
Feel fresher when it matters most with a lowered seat tube junction and a 27.2 seat post.

BSA English:
This is more than a bottom bracket standard, it's a belief in simplicity and function.

MJ Carbon:
Torayaca's top-tier MJ Series carbon completely absorbs the road while maximizing every watt of your power.

Desing Matters:

Design Inspiration:
Inspiration is all around. It's in the people we meet, the things we touch, and the spaces we explore.

Latigo RS1-D is conceived from everyday inspiration of simple and pure shapes, circles and linear elements, angles and intersections. The result is a harmony of shapes with purpose.

Latigo RS1-D: a machine with purpose. Explore more roads, with more confidence and more speed.
