“Could Pace’s radical RC429 really be the one bike that does it all? The brand claims it’s a trail, XC, adventure and gravel bike all-in-one. I put it to the test and the results really surprised me.”

Bike Perfect, Guy Kesteven

From RC429 riders

It’s absolutely perfect for what I was looking for. The versatility of the bike is really useful, as I have also run it with a short-travel SID and flat bars. The bike handles anything put in its way. It’s extremely capable and so much fun to ride.

Lee S, Lake District
Faster than its weight would suggest and more forgiving than I would have expected. Perfect for long distance, bikepacking and ripping singletrack. Versatile and comfortable, the best hardtail I have ridden.

Kev B, Scotland
It is planted and assured on the downhills, even with lighter tyres, and climbs with purpose and precision. The ride is so comfortable, supple and pedal efficient. I’ve been told to slow down a few times.

Alex, North Yorkshire

Sizing & geometry

Find your size

Medium 5′5″ – 5′9″165–175cm Reach: 455mm
Large 5′9″ – 6′0″175–183cm Reach: 475mm
XL 6′0″ – 6′4″183–193cm Reach: 496mm

On the cusp between two sizes? The best thing is to ride both. Come and demo one at our HQ in Thornton-le-Dale, just outside Dalby Forest, or at Sutton Bank Bikes.

Between sizes?

Riding both is the surest way to know, so book a demo ride if you can. Failing that, look up the stack and reach of the bike you ride now and hold them up against the RC429 chart. If your current bike already feels right, those numbers are your best starting point.

Stable or lively?

Size up and the RC429 feels calmer and more planted. The front wheel sits further ahead of you, there’s more room to move around, and it holds a line at speed. The trade-off is that you’ll need to put more body into it when you want to throw the bike about. Size down and it gets quicker and more playful, but a little less settled when things get fast. Think about how you like to ride, then pick the side of the line that suits you.
