A Comprehensive R4 ride review

"In summary, the Renovo has been jaw-dropping impressive with its stunning ability to absorb bumps and provide a smooth ride while also remaining stiff and nearly flex-free when standing on the pedals." 

************************************************************************************

R4 VS. Cervelo carbon SLC 

" the R4 was noticeably smooth and quiet, where Fangio (my Cervelo SLC) is loud and mean. Worse than that, Fangio bites... At 18 pounds, the Renovo might seem heavy on paper, but the weight seemed trivial to me, if not an advantage...it climbs just as well as any top-end carbon bike."

Sea Otter Feedback:

Cycelicious rides and reviews the R4:

...this wood laminate bike seems to do a superb job of absorbing road bumps while still giving me a lively ride. The R4 pursuit provides a much smoother ride than any carbon bike I’ve tried...

Roadbike Action Magazine:

"As always the Sea Otter pits were brimming with lots of cool bikes, but the crown jewels of the weekend assuredly belonged to the beautifully hand crafted wood bikes built by Renovo."

Road Bike Review Forums:

"I saw the Renovo bikes at Sea Otter 2010 and had a short ride on the R4 and R2. First impression was the ride was sweet. Not dead or lifeless. Good vibration moderation. Not sluggish. I did not have the opportunity to climb but overall very favorable. The frames are beautiful heirloom worthy pieces. Weight is comparable to steel and titanium frames."
