Ok, got a little seat time. Enough to give a first ride impression. First off, this is a sweet bike Ebike parts aside. At 27lbs is light enough that you can easily ride it with zero assistance. The SRAM Rival 1 groupset is really nice and works perfectly. Shifts were quick and the brakes are...

Nope, only available in 50mm and 56mm. I just happened to luck out and a 56mm fits me perfectly. If I do the swap the stem and bars I’ll be using will look nice. They are semi integrated. Only the brake hoses will be visible at the bars end.

Yes. The two set screws in the back of the stem and the top cap screw is what holds the bars on. The whole assembly turns when you turn the bars. Once torqued down the assembly isn’t going anywhere. I’m just not a fan of the drop bars so I want to swap them out for a FSA SMR ACR stem and Race...

Precisely why I want to do the swap. Zero adjustment with the current setup. I’d be using FSA KFX MTB handlebars, FSA ACR headset, and FSA SMR 100mm stem. Brakes would be Magura MT4 flat mount. I also need a new 31.8 holder for the display. I’m trying to source that. I already checked with...

Considering converting this bike to flat bars. I’ve been researching if it can be done and it looks like it can. I’d lose the total cable concealment as the brake lines would be exposed at the bar but that doesn‘t bother me. Need to get some good seat time with the current drop bar setup before...

Very similar except Luna’s bike is a flat bar and has a mid drive motor. I’d actually prefer a flat bar setup but it’s not available on the CF Racer1. Might be a future project of mine.

Saw that, the wind noise does suck. He was moving at 20 plus mph against a headwind.

I believe it is. Let me tell you, this is a very nice bike for the money. I don’t know how in the hell R1P is selling these at under $2300.00 and making any profit. Sure it could have had a torque sensor, wouldn’t have raised the price much and would have been the icing on the cake. I was going...

Exactly!

First impressions of the CF Racer Got the bike today! Everything was packed nice and neat with no damage to the bike. The bike was thoroughly wrapped and protected. Having watched the assembly video multiple times putting it together was super simple. The tool kit and supplies was a nice...

Probably not. I know it’s a deal breaker for some that this bike doesn’t have a torque sensor. Doesn’t bother me. On a side note I purchased a SRAM NX 12 speed cassette, derailleur, and chain for the bike. I have a spare Archer D1X electric shift kit that I’ll be using to control it all. You...

27lbs for an ebike is very impressive. This bike weighs less than some of my analog fat bikes.

Absolutely! I have a Brooks saddle and some pedals to put on it when it gets here. I’m going to ride it as is for a while and put some miles on it before making any changes. I’m taking a big chance with this bike as I’m used to the big powered bikes having a Luna powered Buzzraw X, 72v Vintage...

Got one of these bad boys on order. RIDE1UP CF Racer1. $2500.00 shipped to my door (thanks sales tax). I got the road version of the bike. It’s basically the same as the gravel version except the cassette, wheels, tires and handlebars are geared more for the road vs gravel. The road version...

The problem with mountain lions is you won’t even know they are there until it’s too late. I‘m from the east coast but now live in Utah and this is one concern I have now. Back east I never had to worry about anything like this.

Anyone know the max amps the 52V battery can pull?

I ride with a large knife and bear spray.

I hope not.
