Frame building process:

The new RC529 is designed, tested and assembled in North Yorkshire by Adrian the MD of Pace since the start - 1987.

We have had a close and long standing relationship with the family run business in Taiwan who make the RC529. The factory have been making high-end frames decades and are experts in working with steel.

You may not know but Pace frames used to be made in North Yorkshire, England. Because of this we can really appreciate and understand the frame building process and what it takes to make high end frames.

It's a really interesting operation and it's a skill which takes years to learn. Some people have it in the hands and others don't, and that's why we have partnered up with this factory as their experience is unparalleled to match with our Pace ride quality and design.

Why Others Love Us

Ive always respected Pace as a brand, especially being the most local brand we have. I also believe in giving credit where it's due, for a small family business you're doing hell of a job competiting with the 'bigger' brands,

Paul

Pace RC295 owner

Thanks to Sophie and the Pace team for making the whole purchase process smooth and easy. They got back to me really quickly on the million questions I had, I was never left in the dark about my order.
The RC295 is so much better in person, the high quality finish teamed with ride feel makes it the best trail bike ive ever owned. Thanks Pace.

Callum

Harry

RC529 owner

Ive owned a few hardtails in my time and the RC529 is in a league of it's own for ride quality.

Sarah

RC529 owner

The glossy deep finish is outstanding and alot of care is taken to protect it in transit. The whole assembly speaks of engineering and careful but purposeful thought. I am buzzing to get this bike.

Roo

RC627 owner

A connoisseur's dream come true. Not only is the geometry spot on for all purpose trail duties including proper gnar if you're in the mood, but the way the steel frames mutes trail buzz verges on magical.
