Reinforced Headtube and Bottom Bracket Areas: Every detail of the Rere is crafted for performance. The Headtube and Bottom Bracket areas are carefully reinforced with high-tensile directional carbon fiber, ensuring that the Rere tracks like it's on rails. Convert every watt you produce into forward motion and experience the thrill of unmatched speed.
