Rondo has revealed its updated Ruut V2, featuring a compliance zone in the seat tube and updated geometry.<\/p>\n

The new gravel bike<\/a> has been designed around a 650b wheel<\/a> size and uses the brand\u2019s Twin Tip fork that enables the head angle to be changed between slack and steep settings.<\/p>\n

Rondo has yet to set a release date for the new Ruut, though more models are expected to be announced later in the year.<\/p>\n

The release of the new Ruut doesn\u2019t come as a shock, after images were teased of the new frame back in February<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A key difference compared to the old frame is the polygon area situated around the bottom of the seat tube, which is said to aid vertical compliance by enabling the rear triangle to flex similarly to a leaf spring.<\/p>\n

While not identical, the new Specialized Sirrus<\/a> features a similar compliance zone.<\/p>\n

Rondo has yet to divulge details on how the compliance zone functions, though more information is expected in the coming days.<\/p>\n

The new Ruut features full internal cable routing that enters the frame through the Acros headset, with Rondo\u2019s own stem required to feed the cables into.<\/p>\n

Rondo says it has designed the front and bottom part of the frame to be solid and tight in order to keep a racy nature to the Ruut, and to maintain the bike\u2019s handling dynamic.<\/p>\n

SRAM\u2019s Universal Derailleur Hanger<\/a> is also specced, opening up possible mullet drivetrain options in the future.<\/p>\n

The bottom bracket<\/a> is now an asymmetric T47 standard, which the brand says solves the problem some riders had when fitting power meters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rondo has slackened the head angle of the Ruut by 0.5 degrees, down from 71.5 degrees to 71 degrees on bikes sized medium and above in the low setting of the Twin Tip fork.<\/p>\n

The Small remains at 70.5 degrees in the low setting.<\/p>\n

Rondo has only announced three models in the carbon range, with the lowest-priced model being the Ruut X, which features SRAM\u2019s new Apex Etap XPLR AXS<\/a> groupset.<\/p>\n

Above this is the Ruut CF1 using SRAM\u2019s Rival AXS and the CF0, which gets Force Etap AXS.<\/p>\n

The top-end Ruut CF0 also features Hunt Limitless Gravel CF wheels wrapped in Pirelli Cinturato Gravel H tyres.<\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n
