Rikulau was one of the first brands in the world to embrace Reynolds 953. We designed Rikulau 953 bike to be an ultimate racing machine that transfers all the pedaling energy of a rider into forwarding speed. It is stiff, it is fast, it is a road warrior.
Features of Rikulau 953 road bike are:
1. Integrated head tube for enhanced stiffness and modern appearance
2. Flattened seat stay for more comfort
3. Larger down tube for increased stiffness
Synergy
Coordination, cooperation and effectiveness are the key concepts to operation of a bicycle. In this graphics design, Synergy employs hexagon as the design element. Hexagon is the most beautiful and structurally effective shape in nature. The design conveys the concepts of teamwork and harmony. Also, it implies the effectiveness of the operation. Synergy design can be found on Rikulau’s titanium and stainless steel products.
Reynolds 953
Rikulau formally launched Reynolds 953 stainless steel product during 2006 Eurobike Show. This product drew a lot of attention during Eurobikeshow, and the Interbike and Australian Cycle show that followed.
Reynolds 953 is the latest innovation of the Reynolds tubing family.It is an ultra-strong, highly impact resistant stainless steel,with the legendary resilient ride of steel.This martensitic-aging material went through doublevacuum remelt process to achieve an incredible ultimate tensile strength of more than 2000 MPa which is surpassed only by carbon fiber among all the materials used for frame building. It is so strong that a 953 tube can be as thin as 0.3 mm which is comparable to an IC wafer..No other bicycle frame material can be thinner.
Originally designed for the military industry, it is highly resistant to impact and corrosion and it has a good metal fatigue property. As 953 has a very high tensile strength, a 953 frame has high stiffness. Therefore, all the pedaling power can be effectively transferred to forward moving speed. Besides, 953 still keeps the legendary riding quality of steel frame by absorbing small vibrations from the road.Light weight, efficiency and comfort combined with corrosion and impact resistance, 953 is a gospel to steel lovers.For those who enjoy the riding quality of steel frame, and keen on corrosion-free property and lightness of titanium frame, Reynolds 953 frame is the choice.
