R+1 frame Stiffer. Simpler. Better 1x is no fad. It's the logical next step for road bikes. Lose the second chainring and you gain a beautiful symmetry. Nothing is offset, with a perfectly balanced downtube, bottom bracket and chainstay contributing to 30% greater lateral stiffness. Tube shapes are designed to maximise aero efficiency, and with less cabling (especially in the Alto version) streamlining is optimal and clutter minimal. This bike is on the sales floor at Urban Bicycle Gallery in Houston. We have decided to no longer carry the Vielo brand and are closing out the remaining bikes. R+1 frame Stiffer. Simpler.

Seatstays and chainstays Comfortably better performance By replacing the double chain ring with a single, the chain stays complement the symmetrical design. And deliver far more bang for your buck. The unique seat stays profile is more aero and boosts rider comfort for lung busting climbs as well as handling confidence for those long, head down descents. 1x gearing Tradition says no. Science says otherwise Purists tell you 1x can’t provide the gears to climb effectively or to go fast. Vielo says rubbish. SRAM has put their money where their mouth is with single drivetrains that compete with 2x. What’s more, the simplicity of a 1x drivetrain means less mechanical mishaps. Tyre clearance From skinny up to 32mm (Vittoria Rubino 700x28c pictured) Optimum performance? Look no further than the 30-32mm tyres accommodated by the R+1. Proven to offer less rolling resistance and rider fatigue and, when combined with the unique features of the R+1 frame, offering greater aero advantages. The perfect pairing. Vielo crankarm and chainrings Optimising the groupset Specially tweaked chainrings and cranks bring out the best in the R+1 frame. Vielo chainrings are used with SRAM builds and forged at high tolerance from solid billets of 7075 alloy for maximum stiffness. They’re direct mount and offer incredible stiffness and this bike comes 172.5/48x10-36. R+1 Strato Tipping the scales at 1100g this R+1 Strato frame comes with SRAM Force AXS and DT Swiss E1800 wheels.
