ANCHOR RP8 105 | A pure racing road bike that inherits the ride quality of a flagship model

A carbon racing road bike that combines lightness, aerodynamics, and ease of handling at a high level.

Developed for riders challenging the next stage, ANCHOR's racing series "RP8" inherits the design philosophy of the flagship model "RP9" while optimizing carbon materials to achieve both realistic pricing and high performance. It's a high-performance road bike.

Adopting the same aero frame shape as the RP9, it firmly inherits the aerodynamic performance and acceleration feel at high cruising speeds. While the main rigidity is set at approximately 90% of the RP9, the rigidity balance is adjusted to be equivalent, resulting in a design that provides "easy-to-handle speed" rather than just stiffness.

It widely supports hill climbs, long rides, and race events, achieving a high level of responsiveness and comfort characteristic of a road bike. It's a complete bike with a finish that makes it a long-term companion, whether it's your first serious carbon road bike.

Features

The RP8 leaves a strong impression of being much easier to handle while firmly inheriting the DNA of the higher-end RP9. It offers good responsiveness without being overly sensitive, striking a balance that prevents fatigue during long rides.

The acceleration when pedaling and the stability at high speeds are truly characteristic of a racing model. Especially during flat cruising, you can strongly feel the high aerodynamic performance, and it progresses lightly even during hill climbs.

With its high level of completeness as a 105-equipped bike, it's a model we can confidently recommend, not only as a first carbon road bike but also for those looking to step up from an aluminum road bike.
