Design Details
SLACK, PROGRESSIVE GEOMETRY
Enduro geometry needn’t be the sole preserve of long travel full suspension bikes and in the new RC629 its impressive stats translate into impressive performance in the most extreme terrain
140-150MM TRAVEL
When the trail suddenly becomes a serious challenge the last thing you want to do is back off- and we think 140-150 mil’s of travel is the sweet spot which allows you to stay on the gas and in control
STABLE AND COMFORTABLE FEEL
Staying relaxed and centred on your bike is the Instructors mantra and we’ve ensured your preset into the best body position on the RC629…short rear and steep seat tube work in harmony with the reach and head angle to let you rip with confidence and style
LITTLE DETAILS

REYNOLDS 853 STEEL
The qualities of such an iconic tube set go beyond its reputation for a long trouble free lifespan - its subtle flex and resilience imbue the RC629 with unprecedented levels for comfort and control

SUMMARY
A climbing goddess that feels planted but holds 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 RC629 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 on the RC529, crucially, our RC629 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 R629 is fully loaded and ready to rip.
