CHOOSING MY BIKE SIZE
Choosing the right bike size depends not only on your height, but also on your morphology (leg length and arm reach).
If you're between 2 sizes, taking the smaller one will give you a sportier position, the larger one a more comfortable one.
XS 154 165 cm
S 165 173 cm
M 173 180 cm
L 180 188 cm
XL 188 200 cm

Is the RC500 suitable for bikepacking?
Yes, this bike has been designed for road touring, including bikepacking. This means you can fit lightweight panniers on the saddle, frame and handlebars, for example. Thanks to its comfort, the RC500 is the perfect ally for long days in the saddle.
On the other hand, this bike is not a touring bike. We advise against overloading with larger panniers on a luggage rack, for example.
