RUUT pag. 1
WELCOME We’re stoked that you have picked up this catalogue. Since RONDO is a new brand, we thought you might want to know who we are and why we started all this...
We live, breath and sleep two wheels. We race each season on and off the road. We ride thousands of km each year. We commute to work on bikes every day. We are not pro racers though. We admire the heritage of the great tours, but we can’t figure out who rides for which team these days.

We started RONDO because we wanted to create bikes for real cyclists, like us, and most probably like you. For people who have no time to waste on talking, and want to get straight to the point. People who love to kick everyone’s ass in the local race, beat their PR on a climb, but also do a relaxed gravel ride with their friends. We started RONDO because we wanted to create bikes, that are beautiful technically and visually. Bikes that stand out from the crowd. We started RONDO because we wanted to change the way drop bar bikes are perceived both, roadies and mountain bikers. We absolutely love to watch the faces of our road racing friends when they hit the gravel for the first time, absolutely loving it. Or see our MTB buddies gleaming with joy like kids when they get on the drops and go full gas around their local trails. With 15 years of experience in manufacturing bikes we put together a new team that includes the best industrial and graphic designers, engineers, riders, and experienced business managers. Here we are.
But enough talk. Check out the bikes yourselves. Your RONDO Tam

VARIO GEO CONCEPT
Modern solutions such as disc brakes and 1X drivetrains are the talk of the town this year, but the RUUT takes things to the next level. Meet the world’s first Vario Geometry bikes. Thanks to the unique TWINTIP fork you can change your position and adjust the steering character of the bike. The first setting, with steeper angles, smaller trail and a lower riding position will be the choice for racing and dynamic and sporty riding. The alternative fork setting gives the bike slacker angles, longer trail and a slightly more relaxed position, making it ideal for long distance adventure riding or endurance training.

RUUT CF
Built around a unique lightweight carbon EPS frame, the RUUT CF is designed both for racing and serious touring. The frame offers a degree of vertical compliance on the seat tube and seat stays, that will ease out bigger bumps but remains responsive and stiff even during out of the saddle sprints. With the fork set up in the LO “race” position, this bike will be perfect for CX or fast road riding. Flip the chip, mount your bags and you are ready for a multi-day trip. Go fast or go long. You choose.

RUUT AL
RUUT AL aka Swiss army knife. Thanks to the adjustable geometry you can transform the bike from a frisky racer to a comfy tourer. All the fender, rack and cargo mounts that you need and bomb proof drivetrain packed in a light yet wrecking ball-tough frame. Hardcore commuter, training partner, adventure seeker and even a cyclocross racer - all in one. All that for the price of a good whisky.
