Lightweight, Stiffness, Aero, Comfort. RDC is the Racing Day Combatant.

A fully integrated aero frameset with matching integrated handle bar combo.

Made from high performance composite carbon and unique complex layups. SEKA's in-house engineers (holding over 10+ years of experience) used Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in designing every different aspect of the Exceed. The result is a highly balanced bike in terms of stiffness, compliance/comfort and weight. The NACA tube shaping was designed and optimized by SEKA's engineering team using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software. The asymmetric design features different carbon layups in the bottom bracket zone, fork, chain-stays and seat-tube. This allows these highly stressed areas to become more laterally balanced, improving overall power transfer efficiency.

The RDC version of the Exceed stands for "RACING DAY COMBATANT" and is the ultra-light version, featuring higher modulus carbon and different layup to the regular Exceed. SEKA was able to strip 178 grams from the original frame whilst keeping the same ride and build quality.

The included integrated one-piece bar and stem combo allows fully internal routing for both electronic and mechanical groupsets. An important contributing factor to creating the ultimate aero solution. With 13 possible size options, you should be able to dial in your perfect fit. 

Geometry of the Exceed was designed in conjunction with experienced bike fitters. Optimized for a wider range of cyclists, the Exceed features a taller stack than other aero bikes, which will allow for less spacers, and possibly even #slamthatstem. By removing headset spacers, the overall front-end becomes stiffer and more responsive.
