Originally launched in 2017, the Rondo Ruut CF has carved a reputation for its impressive handling and ride quality. Now in its second iteration, the Ruut CF1 aims to build on these fundamentals with a series of radical design and geometry changes that make it even more competitive than before. Like its forebear, it benefits from adjustable geometry but also gets a SRAM UDH interface for compatibility with T-Type drivetrains and the Red XPLR AXS groupset.
