Aluminium plays a pivotal role in this update, offering a balance between weight and stiffness essential for racing. The Kreissäge RS employs custom-drawn scandium tubing from Dedacciai, a choice that underscores Standert's dedication to high-performance materials. This approach allows for precise control over frame characteristics, ensuring responsiveness and durability.
Aesthetically, the bike maintains a sleek, modern appearance, reflecting its performance-oriented design. The aluminium construction contributes to a clean, minimalist look, while also providing the structural integrity needed for aggressive riding. The frame's geometry and finish are tailored to appeal to both competitive cyclists and enthusiasts seeking a distinctive ride.
Riders benefit from the Kreissäge RS's enhanced aerodynamics and handling precision. The updated design offers improved speed and efficiency, particularly in criterium and road racing scenarios. Additionally, the increased tyre clearance accommodates a range of riding conditions, adding versatility to its racing pedigree.
Max Von Senger, CEO and Founder of Standert, stated “The Kreissäge RS has always been about defining our own standards. It’s about showing what metal bikes can do, about being different in a sea of black plastic, and about having fun, while putting in the hard work. The new RS doubles down on what made the Kreissäge a great bike in the first place, while marking a big step in our quest to make the best metal race bike out there.”
The updated Kreissäge RS reflects Standert's commitment to leveraging aluminium for high-performance cycling. The use of custom-drawn scandium aluminium tubing ensures a balance of lightweight design, stiffness, and durability, key elements for competitive racing. This update reinforces aluminium’s continued relevance in the world of advanced bike engineering.
