The Rivette road frameset. Great handling with awesome power transfer.
Philosophy
Rivette is a danish company. All development is done in-house in Denmark.
There is a lot of soul and love of cycling present in every Rivette frame. That is not something to be said lightly, so to understand the company and people behind the product, there are 2 sections of this site that are a must-read. The first is the 'Rivette' page and is a brief history of our young company. The other is the 'Rivette Log', which contains a diverse collection of product notes, race reports and all around tall tales.
The idea is that if you appreciate our view on the sport of cycling, you are very likely to absolutely love our framesets and bikes.
R6 Frameset
The smart inward cable drawings fully sealed and without sockings emphasize the clean and classical lines. Have a closer look – this is NOT a retro bike! Oversize crank, D-profiled chain stay, Monostray and oval top tube which meets the seat tube, treadles headset using real cups shows that R6 are designed to be used.
R6 has a semi sloping profile and with the seat post diameter at 27,2 mm this provides plenty comfort. Using a carbon seat post it’s almost like floating – in spite of the stiffness in the frame itself.
The R6 is produced in two colours: red/black painted or clean black anodized.
There are more images of the R6 frameset in the Rivette Photos section.
Road Geometries
Proportional Fit is the name of the geometry concept that R6 geometry is based on. The fundamental idea of Proportional Fit is a completely proportional frame size graduation based on seating position. Based on a fixed course for stem length and saddle height the sizes of R6 are absolutely proportional. In that way it is very easy to adjust small deviations like legs compared to the length of the upper body using small corrections in stem length. That is small variations (1-2 cm) which do not have an impact on the handling properties.
The system has fully backing from all physiological statistic data and riders in the limited sized in particular will experience a lot better driving position. Additional information of Rivette geometries is found in the Rivette Log.
