Rikulau Audax M3 Road Bike

Rikualu Audax M3 Road Bike

Audax M3 stainless steel road frame and fork are built with Rikulau Mars (M3) stainless steel tubes. The tensile strength of M3 reaches 1100 MPa, therefore, the frame can be of good stiffness while still resilient enough. There are two versions of frame design. C-brake and Disc-brake versions. Rack mount on seat stays make the frame eligible for light road touring.

The ride quality of Audax M3 is solid. However, it won’t be a racing machine. Instead, it is a perfect candidate for endurance riding.

Features

  1. Rack mount available
  2. Disc-brake version has adjustable dropout distance for both standard road wheelset and road disc wheelset
