Welcome to the new and improved RC529.
The new RC529 will impress you no matter what your riding ability is. Blending state-of-the-art design and progressive geometry with the comfort and durability of Reynolds steel, it's a true everyday mountain bike infused with that legendary Pace DNA. It's fast, but this is one friend you can happily trust to keep you on the rails.

A climbing goddess that feels more planted than your grandmother's garden but will hold confidence when the trail falls off into the unknown abyss.
Based around the same platform as the original and best seller, we've redesigned the RC529 to bring it closer to its roots as a hardtail for hucking and hustling down the steeps and finding grip up those loose climbs.
What's changed? Well, we've slackened out the headtube, steepened up the seat tube, massively increased tyre clearance without compromising the already short rear end, made a few other tweaks, and finished with a fresh paint job. It's even better than we thought possible.
Like before, crucially, our RC529 platform has both the top tube and bottom bracket slammed low so you're 'in' the cockpit rather than perched up high. This enables you to drop the saddle way down low for hooning down your fastest trail.
With an ultra-short chainstay, a steeper seat tube angle, and just the right amount of reach, you’re well balanced within the centre of the bike. It climbs just like a good trail bike should, but gives you confidence when the trail falls off a cliff.
The RC529 oozes quality with its perfect welds, blend of British Reynolds and Pace Chromo tubing, and deep, lustrous, and tough gloss paint. And with a Pace hardtail, it's strangely reassuring that you’re riding a bike that will probably outlive you.
Adjustable/replaceable CNC machined Slideouts or T-Type convertible dropouts, full rack mounts, ISCG tabs, subtle reinforcing gussets, room for large section tyres (right up to a 27.5x2.8” if you fancy an mullet configuration), and supplied with Neoprene chainstay protector, cable clips, Hope seatclamp, and Burgtec thru axle, the 529 is fully loaded and ready to rip.

"Beautifully centred, poised and positioned. It doesn't just feel super planted on steep stuff but also more bike park flowing trails. It's a proper all seasons and all reasons bike. An incredible heritage and level of experience in designing rad mountain bikes distilled into a classic custom Reynolds 853 steel tubeset with an iconic trail build. What really vibes on this bike is that it's totally cutting edge geometry".
