ROAD / RACE

Road race bikes.

12 current frames from BMC, Cannondale, Canyon, Orbea, Scott, Specialized, Trek. Across the published sizes, average frame proportions fall on the longer-reach side of GnR’s fixed benchmark. Category and focus do not determine a size’s Position label.

What GnR means by Race

Race describes the road performance/racing platform. Every Road Race frame has exactly one GnR focus: All-round, Aero or Lightweight. The maker’s exact wording is recorded separately. 4 of 12 frames here use a maker’s own type word; the rest are GnR’s placement from the maker’s wording, shown in the table.

Focus describes design priorities, not a geometry threshold. Compare the Position label for each published size and review the full bike setup.
