A frame that will gobble up the bermed jumps and turns of Glentress, hammer your favourite singletrack, and sprint you back up the hill for more.

Low slung with room to manoeuvre and geometry to make a long travel fork work hard. This frame handles sweet, with life and zing, light-weight triple butted tubes from the strongest heat-treated 6066T6 alloys-

Semi-integrated headset; There are very particular reasons why the RC303 has a semi-integrated headset design. This headset has a much lower profile, so whilst the frame is designed to take a full 130mm travel RC41/40 fork, the frame design allows the headtube top to be kept very low- almost as low as a 100mm travel frame in fact. Secondly the much larger diameter headtube provides a bigger weld area for the large diameter top and downtube contact patch. So the frame is much stronger and stiffer in this crucial area. Thirdly a 44mm cup design is seen by the industry as an MTB integrated standard, so it makes more sense than the Chris King 44.5mm for example. Finally we think it just looks cool!
