The rt-1000 is the ideal choice for enthusiasts or endurance road riders who like to stretch out their mileage on the weekends doing Gran fondos, who may have back problems or who simply want a top-of-the-line machine but without the race geometry. The endurance geometry features a taller head tube that puts the rider in a more upright position to ease back fatigue, a longer wheelbase that increases stability, and a slightly sloping top tube that allows the rider to mount and dismount more easily. Flat bar models feature ergonomic grips and a slightly wider Width saddle.
