Roval Rapide Cockpit

Looks and feel good

Ce cockpit est idéal pour les désireux d’aero sans compromettre le confort. Parfait pour accessoiriser un montage avec la carte avec un kit cadre SL8.

I bought these bars to put on a build-up of a frame from another manfacturer, and I'm pretty pleased with how they turned out. They're light, ride pretty comfortably, and have great feel when you're riding on the hoods. The issues I have are -- the Barfly insert for holding Wahoo computers doesn't "click" when you twist it in, so the computer never feels fully secure. The computer mount itself only has one screw, so if if gets loose or falls out, you're boned. And the shape of the transition between the flat bar top and the drops is weirdly-shaped enough (and with the placement of the holes for cable routing) that it makes wrapping the bars an exercise in patience. Like I said -- these are minor issues. The bar, overall, is worth the money.

Fitted as upgrade to my SL7 which had aluminium bars. These are a real improvement in firmness and comfort. Also light weight and integrate well to frame.Tricky to fit as needed to remove widget at end of the brake hose and replace, but understand why. Only disappointment is that I had to buy separately from elsewhere the adapter for SL7 ~£5, not well highlighted and bit poor given overall cost .

Excelente manubrio muy seguro Al momento de aser el sprin

The bar has the best geometry that I've used. I fitted the Rapide cockpit to my Crux. It looks and rides great!

These really clean up the front of your whip.

Beautiful, functional, perfect fit. Added to my SL7 with 3D print transition spacer. Had 2mm spacer above the SL7 stem+cover, fatefully leaving the ideal amount of steerer tube available for these, and keeps the bars at exactly the same height. A dozen (!) fewer parts than SL7 stem + Rapide bar. Feels super solid, connected yet muted. Can be distracting from hazards and traffic - look at the road, stop admiring your barstem!

I purchased two sizes due to the lack of availability. Shops keep saying availability is between Jan 2024 and Mid 2024. Ridiculous on Specialized end. At first I could only get 100x420mm. I would settle with this size if mid 2024 availability was true. I was able to source 100x400 after a few days. The first set 100x420mm does not have a coating (clear gloss). I'm aware it might scratch easy but I prefer the finish. The second set 100x400mm is coated with a clear gloss. No update or info was provided on the two available finishes. Sourcing these bars has been a headache. When you order and they arrive next year, you might get gloss or you might get matte.

It is said 6 degree but in reality it works as if 12 degree. The "stem" is completely flat and ironically the GPS mount is tilted down becoz of that, and it makes it hard to read the screen with lot of reflections.

Upgraded my SL7 with these from the stock handle bars and stem. I love these and the feel great. It also cured my numb hands. The stock handlebars were too narrow. Now I can rest my hands on the flat middle and it feels good. No more tingly fingers or nerve pain. I rode for 30 miles with no gloves on the same course that used would give me nerve pain. Upgrading from the stock handlebars I definitely noticed the weight change immediately! The specialized stores can order and install the stem spacers for the SL7 so it looks perfect. I think the spacers were like $4.99 or something cheap. Although it goes from rectangular shape to circular. It would look better if your head tube is cut and your bars are lower. Mine isn’t yet and still looks great.

beautiful bar, cleverly engineered and an absolute masterpiece of a product

Love these new bars. I bought a SL7 3d spacer and it matches perfectly. Love the new look and feel! Thank you

Does not fit SL7!! Height of steer tube clamp is 10mm higher and does not match the default spacer contours and does not have the cable holder. Have order a new un-cut fork, 3-d print a spacer and jury rig the cable routing.

is awesome is the best for the best

Transitional space are not included. A total farce.

wish would have had some of these reviews - sadly returning as it doesn't fit my slammed sl7

Is it so difficult to make a handlebar who fits a rider who use One spacer?? Tarmac SL7 on speciaized.com have the same spacer on the picture. The new stem is higher and will be dangerous to use.

Nice bars but was surprised the SL7 spacer isn’t included. It also isn’t available for order here. Makes zero sense for a $600 item. Also beware of the flared drops. I got a 44cm since that’s what I normally use but now I’m on the hunt for 42s. These are just too wide for me in the drops.

The New Roval Cockpit will not fit the SL7 with one spacer. The earlier SL7 stem are lower than the new stem, and you must buy a new fork to make it fit.

Manubrio di fattura veramente eccezionale, rigido ed estremamente leggero. Sicuramente tra i migliori in commercio

Hydraulic lines hang down. Doesn’t have the clamp underneath as the original SL7 stem. Also, can’t use the last molded spacer. Come on Specialized. Looks completely aftermarket on my SWorks. Returning product

This cockpit does not transition well with Tarmac SL7 !! 👎👎 Specialized rep says spacers for SL7 may become available mid-July 😖 I wouldn’t have purchased if I knew this upfront

With required top and bottom SL7 transition spacers, the top clamping bolt sits 10MM above stem.
