Before his RM3, he'd known what compromise felt like. The geometry that almost worked, the power transfer that almost connected, the handling that promised precision but delivered something less. He'd ridden the best of what was available, and yet something was always off—that nagging disconnect between effort and outcome.
Then we built his RM3.
What followed on his first ride wasn't louder or flashier. It was recognition—the quiet moment when bike and rider stop being separate things. When geometry becomes invisible because it simply works. When "power gathers right underneath you" becomes more than words on a page.
Hi guys - I just took the bike out for its first ride and wanted to share my impressions and gratitude. The geometry is perfect, just a couple of mm to the seat height and fore/aft was all that was needed for the bike to feel like home. The compliance and power transfer are just as good or better than I remember from my test ride in Bend. So much more plush than either my Tarmac or even the Aethos. The bike just soaks up the noise. Long sustained climbs it feels like the power gathers right underneath you especially with acceleration. None of that feeling of losing the power somewhere between the bb and the rear tire. It climbs like a bat out of hell. The biggest positive surprise is the precision and handing through high speed corners. How you manage to have that level of tightness in the frame while giving the rider the compliance vertically is the Cadbury Secret. Honestly… no other bike offers this level of handling and plush. Amazing stuff. I can't wait to get out and ride it again. Thank you so much for the build, the attention to detail and all of the help with components. You guys build weapons.

Weapons and Decisions
Somewhere in your riding lies a version of yourself that climbs "like a bat out of hell" and carves corners with complete trust. That rider isn't waiting for better fitness or perfect weather or more time.
That rider is waiting for the right bike.
The difference between settling and soaring often comes down to a single decision—the moment you stop wondering what perfection feels like and start experiencing it.
The Language Extends
This rider's experience—geometry that feels like home, power that gathers right underneath you, handling precision through high-speed corners—isn't unique to road. It's the signature of our approach, whether tarmac or gravel.
James Huang, testing our Supernaut GR3, found the same qualities expressed differently: "No joke: it's the finest-riding gravel bike I've ever had the pleasure to throw a leg over." Different terrain, same obsessive pursuit of ride quality that makes the bike disappear beneath you.
