About this model
Made from super-light, super-stiff, high modulus carbon fibre, the Leggero is a balance of light and fast. Featuring wind-slicing, droplet-shaped tubes and our finest nano carbon technology, the Leggero provides a responsive ride that jumps the second you drive power through the pedals. Developed with riders from our former pro team, JLT Condor (also known as Rapha Condor team). Countless hours of feedback and testing have continually helped the Leggero evolve and it riders at the front of the peloton. The updated design is speedier than its predecessor with improved aerodynamic efficiency. The frameset features oversized square stays, for increased power transfer and stiffness, the Leggero will be at home on a group ride, tackling climbs or sprinting for the finish line under a rider as powerful as Ed Clancy. Our carbon is proven through everything from one-day classic race to long, gruelling stage races.

We supply a full set of both electronic and manual guides and blanking plates for smart cabling framesets, including a piece of cable noise protector for the internal cabling to go through the BB.
If you would like to visit us in the store, here is how the process works.
1. Choose your model
We make a wide range to suit all styles and disciplines. Our full range is available to view online and in-store, but don't worry if you're not sure what's right for you — we're here to help!
2. Have a fitting
We'll ensure that you'll ride in complete comfort and get the best performance from your bike. If you can't visit us in store, we can help with the fit by phone or email.
3. Make it your own
We'll work with you to choose components that suit your requirements, right down to details such as handlebar tape colour. We are here to advise on everything.
4. We build it
We'll assemble your bike in London. Once built, we'll arrange a time and date with you for the handover, where we'll run through everything and help with anything else you may need.
If you can’t book an appointment to visit us in-store, we can help by phone, email, or live chat
Nano carbon technology
The fibres in our carbon are bound together with resins featuring nano particles. Construction using nano particles requires less resin, resulting in an overall frame weight reduction. Nano resin's microscopic particles are elongated rather than round, which improves the bond between resin and fibre as the surface area is greater. Secondly, frame vibration is dissipated as it travels through the frame and across the nano particles.
Tuned Carbon from Japan
Condor carbon tubes are made for us using three different types of carbon manufactured in Japan and the USA. Each layer features unidirectional carbon fibre (for strength), high modulus carbon fibre (to add stiffness), and ultra-high-modulus carbon, which adds both strength and stiffness, whilst being lighter than the previous two (but would be too harsh to ride if used just on its own). The tube is wrapped in a 1k weave for impact protection and toughness.
Kamm-tail seat tube
Our most sophisticated carbon fibre is shape into a Kamm-tail tube. The Kamm-tail tube and seat post creates an improved aerodynamic flow, saving precious rider watts.
