ANCHOR RL8D 105 (12s) | Comfortable Carbon Disc Road Bike for Long Rides

A carbon road bike designed not just for "speed," but for "comfort and enjoyable long rides."

Whether you want to leisurely cover long distances while enjoying the scenery or push the pace and train hard, the ANCHOR RL8D 105 is a long-ride oriented carbon road bike that naturally accommodates various riding scenarios.

The frame is a carbon frame developed using BRIDGESTONE's proprietary analysis technology, "PROFORMAT." While enhancing vibration absorption and stability, it also maintains a light and responsive feel. It's less tiring on long rides, and its balanced performance makes it approachable for first-time carbon road bike owners.

Furthermore, combining the new SHIMANO 105 (12-speed) with hydraulic disc brakes significantly improves shifting performance and braking power. This results in a bike that is less affected by weather and road conditions, offering comfortable enjoyment from weekend rides to daily fitness.

For those who are interested in carbon road bikes but feel they might be too difficult to handle, this RL8D is a highly recommended model.

The ride feel is very straightforward, and the harshness of vibrations is well-dampened, making it less tiring over long periods. Yet, the acceleration is still light and crisp, allowing you to truly experience the exhilarating feeling of a road bike.

The shifting performance of the 105 (12-speed) and the reassuring feel of the hydraulic disc brakes are also excellent, making it easy to maintain control even on descents or in the rain.

I believe this is a perfect bike not only for a first carbon road bike but also for anyone who wants to enjoy long distances more comfortably.
