At \u003cb\u003e8.49 kg (18.67 lbs, size L)\u003c\/b\u003e, it uses an aero-profile seatpost and an integrated carbon handlebar\/stem to keep the front end clean, while a 12x100mm thru-axle fork adds steering precision without adding a race-only ride quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 10.0pt;\"\u003eWhat sets the RS7 apart in the category is its crankset: a Branta alloy unit with a \u003cb\u003ebuilt-in power meter\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eApple Find My anti-theft tracking\u003c\/b\u003e, a combination not typically found at this groupset tier. It's paired with a full Shimano 105 mechanical groupset (ST-R7120 shifters, RD-R7100 and FD-R7100 derailleurs) and BR-R7170 hydraulic disc brakes, plus a 12-speed, 11-34T cassette for climbing range. The bike ships with 700x32c tires — which is also the frame's max tire clearance — favoring a wider, more stable contact patch over narrow-tire aerodynamics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoListParagraph\" style=\"text-indent: -.25in;
