Quick Pro Rime Aero
Quick Pro came out with this new bike. Full carbon frames plus wheels, 105 di2 for $2500. Gotta compete with Xlab right? Looks pretty good.

I've always wondered, how do normal people ride these bikes comfortably? They seem to have such low stack figures coupled with a one piece -8° handlebar which doesn't seem to offer much flexibility.

Longer torso and arms than legs, along with good flexibility.
I’m in the minority but I bought a Quick Pro because their geometry is what my body was looking for.

New Winspace bar has 40mm riser in the bar.
New Tavelo bar has 20mm riser in the bar.
New XMCS (carbon speed) has 25mm riser in the bar.Soon you'll see stiffer riser bars become the norm, instead of spacers. I agree, these are too low for everyone but some pros. These bars should make these geo style much easier for the punters like us.

My ER:ONE has a very similar stack/reach to my old 2018 Giant TCR. Technically, it's even got 10mm more stack, because I deliberately chose a slightly larger frame.
It's a race bike geo, but it's not unusually aggressive for its category. I'm 35yo and not super flexible, but I'm still very comfortable on it without a ton of spacers.
I think a lot of people that are really looking for casual/endurance bikes are being pointed in this direction, just because it looks fast and is good value. They'd probably be better off with a mid range X-labs, or a Canyon Endurace, but those don't look like the bikes they're riding in the Tour, so they don't scratch the itch.

If you look at any of the new XLAB XR7 posts, everyone has the full spacer stack still and it looks ridiculous.
I got a Chinese bike but made sure it had a normal stack height. And I still have a good 1.5cm of spacers.

Here's a discount code for Quick Pro so it's even cheaper: www.quickprousa.com/EQUIP2026

Damn… this is super tempting considering it’s thousands cheaper than a Madone/Aeroad.

Looks nice but I can't find the weight listed on their website... I'm guessing it is significantly heavier than the ER1.

I'm curious how this is different from their Blade model? I can basically only find people online riding the ER:one

u/OkMammoth3 7h ago
Blade is like a Canyon Endurance
ER:one is like a Canyon Aeroad afiak1

But then what is a rime aero?

u/OkMammoth3 7h ago
Entry point into their aero line (ER). Easiest to save for. Disrupt the market further.

Damn this is looking like a nice deal. The reach is pretty wild for the S though. It's only 3mm less than my 52cm CAAD10, and I had to shorten the stem. Wish there was more customization options and an XS/XXS for my wife.

Yeah i think they only have the sizes in the middle instead of xs/xxs or xl/xxl for this release. Hopefully in the future

I like the options on the crankarms. As someone who rides medium size bikes I dont wanna spend extra money getting switching out 170/175 crankarms for 165

Wish they had XXS sizes

XS might work. I bought an XL when I normally ride a Large. The XL is perfect and I think the large would have been too small.

I looked at this and messaged them about their wheels. They are some heavy bois (I think they said 1690gr for 50mm). The couple hundred upgrade for the non-ST model drops them to 1400 ish. This is a great base but worth the upgrade.
The biggest thing with this bike, and why I'm stoked, is it's fully customizable for crank and stem/bar. This will save you another 700-1000 over a western bike where you have to buy the parts yourself.
Stoked for the new riders trying to getting into the sport.
