ANCHOR RP8 105 Di2｜A racing road bike that inherits the ride of a flagship model

Aerodynamics, rigidity, and comfort. A classic racing road bike that combines all of these at a high level.

The ANCHOR RP8 is a full-fledged racing model developed for riders who want to advance to the next level. Inheriting the design philosophy of the flagship "RP9," the carbon material has been optimized to make it a bike that more riders can experience its performance.

It adopts the same aerodynamic frame shape as the RP9, inheriting the exhilarating acceleration at high speeds and the responsiveness required in race situations. Furthermore, while the main rigidity is about 90% that of the RP9, the rigidity balance is adjusted to be equivalent, so it is characterized by a sense of "ease of handling" rather than just stiffness.

While centered on race-oriented riding, it can also handle a wide range of activities such as long rides and hill climbs. It is a versatile racing road bike with a level of completeness that makes it a long-term companion for those who want to step up to a serious carbon road bike for the first time.

The RP8, while looking like a serious racing road bike, actually gives a very manageable impression when ridden. While you can definitely feel the rigidity and acceleration inherited from the RP9, it's not overly peaky, so you get the feeling that you can naturally get up to speed without having to push yourself.

It climbs lightly and smoothly, and you can really feel the high aerodynamic performance on flat terrain. Furthermore, it has high stability on descents, and the balance makes it less tiring even after long rides. With the pleasant shifting of the Di2 specifications, I think it's a very satisfying model as a "first serious carbon road bike."

It's a bike that I can recommend not only to those who are considering racing but also to those who want to fully enjoy long rides and events.
