Avenger R8RS

The Avenger R8RS is a carbon aero road frameset from Avenger, priced at $1669 with an integrated Y-type handlebar and aero extensions, or $1399 with a standard road handlebar. The frame weighs 964g claimed for 52cm, and a size 56 complete build weighs 7.4 kg including pedals and computer mount. It offers 34mm tire clearance. The bike features a proprietary headset system that allows switching between the integrated cockpit and standard handlebars via a spacer kit; the frame ships with one 0.5 cm spacer. The geometry is similar to an endurance bike with a short reach and upright position, but some users note it is comparable to the Cervelo S5. The seat angle is considered too slack for a race bike by some. Build quality is praised, and the frame comes with silver titanium bolts. Discount codes are available. Overall, the R8RS is a versatile aero frameset with good build quality, though its geometry and proprietary cockpit may not suit all riders.
