SLI

Speed made to endure

Aerodynamics and comfort are the keys to speed, but to gain every advantage, the RVR SLi uses our most advanced carbon frame construction to shave 140 grams off the standard RVR. Discover the ultimate endurance bike for those who measure success by elevation gained and want nothing to weigh them down.

Aerodynamic Design

Maximize efficiency with aero carbon frame shaping designed and tested in the wind tunnel.

Lightweight Construction

Climb higher with a high-grade carbon frame layup engineered to reduce weight.

Fully Customizable

Make it yours by choosing from the best components and the most inspiring colors.

Aerodynamic Design

To make one of the most aerodynamic endurance bikes ever designed, the carbon frame was shaped through extensive CFD work and testing in the A2 wind tunnel by an engineering team that has developed record-breaking aero designs.

Advanced Carbon

The RVR SLi uses our highest-grade carbon fiber and our most sophisticated carbon frame lay-up that reduces resin in key areas to shed additional grams without sacrificing any of the standard RVR’s stunning ride comfort or efficiency under power.

Increased Comfort

Suffer less during all-day adventures with a carbon frame lay-up engineered for increased vertical compliance to absorb vibration and dampen impacts without sacrificing pedaling efficiency. Add extra squish with clearance for wider tires.

Reduced Frame Weight

Advanced carbon layup techniques allow us to create an ultra-lightweight endurance road frame, weighing only 880 grams in size M. Stiff on climbs, agile on descents, and compliant over rough roads, the RVR SLi delivers the most performance possible.

Designed in the Wind Tunnel

The RVR frame was designed by an engineering team with decades of experience crafting the world’s fastest aero road and triathlon bikes and tested in the wind tunnel to ensure it can match the performance of the fastest road racing bikes.

Aerodynamic Shaping

Key aero elements like a chine molded into the bottom of the headtube help capture dirty air and redirect it backward onto the deep-section aero downtube. This keeps airflow attached, passing it smoothly over bottles to reduce drag.

Endurance Road Position

The RVR’s riding position was designed around the maxim that “when you feel good, you perform at your best.” Increased stack and appropriate reach alleviate back strain, sore hands, and upper body fatigue, so you feel fresher and stronger on your longest rides.

Fine-Tuned Comfort

The carbon layup of the RVR frame is fine-tuned to reduce vibration and to take the sting out of long days in the saddle on whatever roads you ride. With ample compliance, it can smooth out the roughest pavement and even venture onto unpaved roads.

34mm Tire Clearance

The RVR provides ample clearance for tires up to 34mm wide to enhance comfort while reducing rolling resistance. It comes stock with 32mm tires, and the fork legs and downtube are also shaped to maximize aerodynamics with wider rubber.

Internal Cable Routing

For the most aerodynamic and modern silhouette, the RVR has gone full-internal. To keep home mechanics from going too crazy, the headtube is designed around the proven FSA Aerodynamic Cable Routing (ACR) system for easier adjustments and maintenance.

Reliable Standards

The future is unknown, so the RVR uses reliable standards. A UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger) allows you to easily find replacements. A threaded T47 bottom bracket provides stiffness and easy serviceability for home mechanics.

Built for You.

A bike is more than just a bike.

It’s joy, self-expression, and freedom. We understand what bikes mean to riders because we feel the same way. That’s why OBED strives to give everyday riders a pro-level experience by building their dream bike to their exact specifications. Customize your bike with your preferred groupset, components, paint color, and decals.

To modify the GVR for external routing, submit a custom component request.

Custom requests can be submitted through the “Component Requests” box in our bike builder, or you can contact us at any time to inquire about custom requests. A member of our team will reach out for additional information. All custom requests are subject to availability, and additional charges may apply.

If you're on the border of two sizes, the right size may depend on certain body measurements and your riding style. Feel free to contact us at any time regarding sizing questions - our product specialists are experienced with finding riders the right fit by cross-referencing your information with our fit database.

If you're not transferring measurements from a similar bike, to get completely "dialed in" for maximum performance, we recommend you see a reputable professional bike fitter that can fit you to your new bike.

To mount your OBED bike to a direct drive stationary trainer, follow these steps:

1. Shift into the bike's hardest gear

2. Remove the rear thru axle

3. Remove the rear wheel

4. Place the frame onto the direct drive trainer, ensuring the chain falls onto the cassette and the rear axle dropouts are aligned with the trainer hub end caps.

5. Reinstall the rear thru-axle and tighten.

Notes:

We recommend shifting into the hardest gear before removing the rear wheel to make it easier to remove the rear wheel and position your bike for installation on the trainer.

Mounting a bike to a direct drive trainer is very similar to installing a rear wheel. You may need to swing the rear derailleur back to direct the chain onto the cassette cogs. If you have a rear derailleur with an adjustable clutch, turn the clutch off to be able to articulate the rear derailleur.

Ensure the rear axle dropouts of the frame are aligned with the endcaps on the trainer, and that the chain is properly routed before reinstalling the rear axle and using your direct drive to prevent damage.

Ensure the rear cassette on your direct drive trainer is compatible with your bike's drivetrain to prevent damage. (E.g., you must use a 12-speed Shimano cassette with a 12-speed Shimano drivetrain and a 12-speed SRAM cassette with 12-speed SRAM drivetrains.)
