XCR TRI FRAME, A BEAST ON WHEELS!
The XCR frame is a high-modulus carbon frame that meets the demands of the highest-level cyclists.
Our partner triathlete Denis Chevrot, European Ironman two-time champion, rides the XCR.
It was designed with Swiss Side, whose expertise in aerodynamics allowed it to look for every opportunity for optimisation with no compromises.
To meet the nutritional needs of a long-distance triathlon, a bento box is installed on the top tube that can store up to 6 bars or gels
XCR VR TRIATHLON COCKPIT
The right position is an essential factor in performance, particularly when it comes to long-distance triathlons.
We've designed a cockpit that allows for multiple adjustments: Height, width, depth and angle with different elements such as the extension support platform and the different spacers (20 to 95 mm in height, 0° to 30° angle).We designed the extensions to combine maximum adjustment whilst ensuring perfect ergonomics.
ACCESSORIES (GPS, HYDRATATION)
There are several GPS support and hydration system solutions compatible with the XCR cockpit, here are our recommendations:
Hydration system + GPS holder to be mounted on the BTA bracket between the armrests:
PROFILE DESIGN HSA 800 EVO Hydration System
Water bottle holder + GPS bracket to be fixed on the BTA bracket between the armrests:
PROFILE DESIGN HSF BTA with Garmin Mount
GPS mount for aerobars:76 PROJECTS TT MOUNT 3.0

Warning and adjustment
Please note: never squeeze the brakes without a wheel being attached, as you could get the brake pads stuck together.
If the rotor is touching the pads, here's how to realign the wheel and caliper:
- Loosen the wheel axle
- Brake hard and tighten the axle at the same time
- If the rotor is still touching the brakes, do the same thing and loosen the caliper
- If you're unable to resolve the issue, please visit one of our workshops.
BEDDING IN PROCEDURE
Bed in your brakes on a flat, dry road with no obstacles.It's important to alternate between the front and rear brakes, and to work through the following steps:
Step 1: Ride at 15 km/h and gradually brake to slow yourself to 5 km/h, 10 times in a row.
Step 2: Ride at 20 km/h and gradually brake to slow yourself to 5 km/h, 10 times in a row.
Step 3: Ride at 25 km/h and gradually brake to slow yourself to 5 km/h, 10 times in a row.
Between each step, release and ride for a few dozen metres.
CARE ADVICE
Please note that it is important to regularly service your drive train, especially if you ride in difficult conditions (wet and/or dirty roads).
Regular maintenance will help your drive train to last for longer.
You should regularly check your chain with our chain wear indicator,
which is available on our website.
WHICH SIZE?
Please refer to the bike frame geometry table.
Ideally, we recommend doing a postural study in order to make the most of your bike's performance.
If you're between sizes, a shorter bike is better if you want something more responsive and lively. However, if you want to be comfortable when riding long distances, the bigger size is your best bet.
