Big mileage road rides? The ROAD RUNNER smashes them. Technical gravel descents? Not a problem. Steep, loose surface, hill climbs can be ascended with ease and what about those all day mixed terrain adventures? The ROAD RUNNERs got your back.
To travel great distances, in search of adventure you need a bike that is supremely versatile and at the same time simplistically efficient. Something that does what is required, really well, consistently. A bike that facilitates adventure, allowing you to travel further, experience a more diverse range of riding environments and explore new inspiring places.
The ROAD RUNNER is that bike. It is designed to get you from A to B, no matter what the route is, or how long it takes. A bike made to perform wherever you decide to explore. The ROAD RUNNER titanium all-road endurance bike is a technically complex, highly efficient bike hidden beneath a simplistic and beautiful presence.
Like most all-road bikes, The ROAD RUNNER transcends the lines between the different cycling disciplines. The ROAD RUNNERs Aerospace grade titanium frame was engineered in a way that allows it to not only perform in these realms but excel.
Don't let the elegant cnc'd head tube badge fool you into thinking the ROAD RUNNER is just a beautiful example of craftsmanship. As you look closer you'll discover more innovative features, like the ROAD RUNNER's custom yoke. This creates space for wider tyres without compromising on structural integrity and sits modestly behind the chainring. An ingenius example of great bicycle frame design.
The Titanium frame tubing is just as versatile as the bike itself, practically compliant and willing to move with you as you ride, whilst at the same time remaining tight and agile for quick acceleration when needed.
ROAD RUNNER titanium all-road endurance frame is designed for long distance comfort and all-terrain versatility. Its only right then, that the equipment that makes up the bike supports this in the form of SRAMs all-purpose, ride anything FORCE groupset.
Powerful and responsive, all-weather hydraulic disc brakes that perform resolutely regardless of whether youre riding on tarmac or gravel. An adaptable, wide range cassette that provides gearing for every eventuality, works seamlessly, executing positive and smooth gear changes courtesy of the FORCE rear mech.
Multi-surface handling is administered by the SELCOF ZETA V2 handlebar. Designed for comfort over long distances yet uncompromising on precise control this dependable drop bar works in complete harmony with the ROAD RUNNERs Tenacious attitude.
A set of controls is only as good as the equipment they a controlling and the SELCOF full carbon FORK is testament to this. Its premium carbon construction is adept at handling a wide range of different terrain. Compliant in its delivery and remarkably responsive. The fork can be called into action quickly allowing you to respond to the demands of the route youre riding, in plenty of time.
The ROAD RUNNER titanium all-road endurance bike rolls on the superb FULCRUM RACING 800 rims. Boasting an impressive grip to speed ratio this wider rimmed wheel set is tubeless compatible for longer puncture free rides and when equipped with the large volume tyres, all-road really does mean all-road.
Lightweight for high-speed riding and possessing excellent cornering ability thanks to their wider profile these tyres suit the ROAD RUNNER titanium all-road endurance bike perfectly, confirming its freedom granting abilities.
The ROAD RUNNER titanium all-road endurance bike really prompts you to question if you need more than one bike. So versatile in its delivery, the ROAD RUNNER is a bike that will traverse the undulations of the land with elegance and finesse all the while its intelligent engineering working perfectly to provide the ultimate in all-road performance and allow you to go anywhere you wish with confidence.
Approx Weight (Medium) - 9.7kg - Bike weight can vary slightly depending on the size of the frame and the components chosen at the time of checkout
Pedals not included? Why not?
Pedal choice is a personal thing. Most higher end bikes are expected to be ridden with clipless pedals. These are matched to cleats on the underside of your cycling shoes. There are a few standards of these, and most cyclists tend to stick with one standard across all their bikes. So, you don't need to buy multiple pairs of shoes! Thats why Planet X dont sell bikes with pedals included. If you wish to add pedals to your order, simply select an option from the drop-down menu.
NOTE: Please make sure you check the size guide to order the correct size of this frame.

| Rider Height | Suggested Frame Size |
|---|---|
| 5′3″ to 5′6″ (160cm-168cm) | SML/480mm |
| 5′6″ to 5′10″ (168cm-178cm) | MED/510mm |
| 5′10″ to 6′1″ (178cm- 185cm) | LRG/540mm |
| 6′1″ to 6′3″ (185cm- 191cm) | XL/570mm |
All frame size recommendations are approximate. A good fit will also depend on the correct choice of stem length, correct bike set-up for the rider and riding style.
Correct frame size choice can vary greatly with riders' torso length. If you have longer legs and a shorter torso, go for a slightly shorter stem. If you think you are borderline between sizes, and you have longer legs and a shorter torso, go for the smaller frame size. If you have shorter legs and a longer torso, go for the larger frame size to get the extra top tube length.
As the frame sizes increase, so does the length of the head tube. If you are inflexible or perhaps have a history of back problems, consider going for a larger frame size. This will increase the relative height of the handlebars making the position less “extreme”. The larger frame will also have a longer top tube, so you’ll need to compensate for this with a shorter stem.

The max tyre sizes noted above are the actual measured width of the largest reccomended tyre for this bike, measured at the widest point on the tread when fully inflated.
This does not mean that every tyre from any brand that has this number on the sidewall will fit this bike. Some brands size up small, some size up large and any tyre's actual width will depend on how hard it has been inflated and also by the rim of the rim on which it sits.
Please use the max tyre guidance as a guide. Sadly we are unable to try every possible rim and tyre combination to advise on any pairing.

Build your bike in 3 simple steps
Fantastic bike. Having owned the bike for a few weeks and put a few hundred km's under its wheels I have no problem in concluding I did the right thing choosing the Roadrunner. Looks. Out of the box it looks fantastic, superb detail and finish to the frame, the bike was well build with the brakes and gears requiring no adjustment. The only minor niggle was that the bike had been built with a road fork rather than a gravel one with larger clearance to match the tyre clearance offered by the frame. P/X quickly agreed to change this, I did have to send the bike back but P/X were very prompt and the bike was returned to me in a few days. The SRAM Force groupset is superb and far better than most suppliers offer on bikes at this price. Wheels and finishing kit are solid and do the job. Ride. Having dithered over which size to go for I went with P/X's recommendation of the XL (I'm 188cm) and pleased I did, although the reach is 10-15mm longer than my other bikes the slack head angle brings the bars back a bit so the fit was spot on with a 110mm stem. It feels comfy and fast on the road and very safe and secure off road or at speed when the road points downwards thanks to the long wheelbase and slack head angle - nudging 50mph on a downhill on the Roadrunner feels a lot less scary than it does on my summer bike! This is my first Titanium bike, so I was not sure what to expect in terms of the fabled ride quality. I've not done any great distances yet but my initial impressions are good, it feels smooth and solid and definitely not as harsh as aluminium bikes I have ridden. The clutched rear mech helps as well, so nice to ride along rough surfaces without the chain slapping around. Overall I'm delighted with the bike as it ticks all the boxes on paper I wanted it to, but most importantly it puts a smile on your face when you ride it.
