The Unicorn
The RC429 isn't a one-trick pony- it's three bikes in one that can ride-it-all
Our new RC429 is a North Yorkshire-bred down country steel hardtail and the rowdy sibling to our RC629 hardcore hardtail. Discover how we’ve redefined what's possible within the short travel hardtail segment hitting a trail riding/ bike-packing sweetspot making it the ultimate do-it-all bike you've been looking for.
The sport of offroad riding continually progresses and our bikes evolve accordingly. Whether or not you want to take the easy or the hard road the RC429 is designed to meet these modern demands. If you’re considering a dropbar- bike packing option of course you could mount these on any kind of bike however the RC429 has these design elements ‘built-in’ making the whole adventure experience so much better.
Reignite your spirit for adventure and tuck in on the drops down a gravel fireroad, fuel a fast-paced XC power hour or punch out a day long trail ride either way the 429 is ready to rise to any occasion and get you away from it all .
Design Details
SLACK, PROGRESSIVE GEOMETRY
Riding a short travel bike shouldn’t mean you have to compromise the ride with old skool XC geometry- we blend short travel with progressive slack geometry for confidence in the steeps and at speed
100MM - 130MM TRAVEL
When your out for an adventure just the right amount of travel keeps the bike taught for the journey and fun when you’ve pitched the tent and want an evening ride on some mountain gnarl
BOTH FLAT BAR OR DROP BAR COMPATIBLE
Our progressive geometry blend gives you room for manoeuvre in flat bar trailbike mode but fitted with dropbars a similar cockpit to a gravel bike
SUSPENSION FORK OR RIGID FORK
Spec your RC429 with up to 130 travel and you can harry your mates on their heavy enduro rigs- or spec it with our rigid adventure fork with MTB geo and clearances for an ultra light and reactive ride
29" BOOSTED WHEELS
Give you a stronger and more rigid wheelset- plus we've given the RC429 better tyre clearances- just what you need for bikepacking or trail hacking
REYNOLDS 853 STEEL
Quite simply the best- we've combined legendary Reynolds 853 with Pace chromoly tubes into one elegant frameset for the ultimate in strength, durability and comfort…alloy and carbon eat your heart out
DESIGNED & TESTED IN NORTH YORKSHIRE, MADE IN EUROPE
We’re in our thirty seventh year of designing hardtails and first worked with our European factory twenty eight years ago… be reassured our experience and heritage counts for everything
WIDE RANGE OF MOUNTS
14 mounting points throughout the frame (20 if you include those on our RC33 carbon rigid fork) giving you virtually unlimited loading option whether you’re off on the Silk Road or out for weekend hike
UDH T-TYPE COMPATIBLE
Peace of mind that wherever in the world your RC429 takes you the chances are that the Bolivian or Icelandic bike shop you’ve rocked up to stocks a spare Universal Derailleur Hanger no matter what rear mech your running
Geometry
Built fast for your heart, designed by Pace for your head
Like all Pace designs we draw from decades of experience and knowhow to create this functional, competent and technologically advanced machine

REDEFINING SHORT TRAVEL TRAIL - TRAIL BUILDS
Squeezing every ounce of performance out of a short travel trail bike was our brief- no compromises on spec’, speed or stability and certainly building in lots of attitude and fun.
Combining low and slack geometry with short travel is a revelation and breaks down the boundaries between what’s expected from a short travel bike and what can actually be achieved.

HARDCORE GRAVEL BUILDS
When the gravel runs out and the tech begins the RC429 comes into its own…not a gravel bike but a specialist off-road/travel/bikepacking tool that’s as happy cranking in the miles as it is flicking through the singletrack.
Through careful design the cockpit on this dropbar rig mimics that of a modern gravel bike but underneath you the geometry stretches and slackens making it far more capable and confidence inspiring.
With its GRX transmission paired to custom made Hope wheels and cranks the 429 ups the speed and stability whether in carbon rigid or short travel MTB suspension spec'.
