RC529 - REYNOLDS #853 STEEL HARDTAIL

29" OR 29" + 27.5".
TAKE FULL CONTROL.

ONLY XL LEFT. RE STOCKING ALL SIZES AROUND DECEMBER 2023.

In a confusing World crammed with so many bike brands and designs its re-assuring that Pace has over 35 years of designing performance hardtails. Blending the very latest in progressive geometry with the comfort and durability of Reynolds steel, Pace are masters at dialling the numbers & tube profiles. So you can rely on us to create one bike that can do it all- climbing like a good trail bike should then when the trail falls off a cliff descending with the confidence of an enduro rig.

Crucially our 29er platform has both the top tube & BB slammed low so you’re ‘IN’ the bike rather than perched up high & so you can drop the saddle way down low for hucking & hustling down the steeps. With an ultra short chainstay & steep seat tube angle with just the right amount of reach you’re well balanced within the centre of the bike- & we can guarantee you’ll be amazed at how the 529 finds grip and drive up those pesky loose ‘n rooty climbs.

The RC529 oozes quality with its perfect welds, blend of British Reynolds & Pace Chromo tubing & deep lustrous and tough gloss paint. And with a Pace hardtail its strangely re-assuring that you’re riding a bike that will probably out live you.

With adjustable/ replaceable cnc machined Slideouts, 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) & supplied with Neoprene chainstay protector, cable clips, Hope seatclamp and Burgtec thru axle the 529 is fully loaded & ready to rip.

KEY FEATURES:

  • Nothing has the feel and durability of Reynolds 853/Pace chromo steel tubeset
  • Performance 29er designed for slaying challenging, steep & tech’ terrain
  • Flexible platform accepts 29/27.5” rear wheel
  • Progressive Geometry optimized for latest generation short offset forks

Metallic with classy black decals under a clear lacquer. Gunnerside Green or Simon Howe Silver. Order below...
