{"product_id":"x-lab-rs5-105-12sp-wavebreaker-white","title":"X-LAB RS5 Shimano 105 Road Bike – Wavebreaker White","description":"\u003ch2\u003eA Practical Road Bike with Performance Built In\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe X-LAB RS5 is an aluminium road bike for riders who want to get out for fitness rides, join a bunch or spend a long day exploring the back roads. It pairs a carbon fork and Shimano 105 12-speed gearing with a power meter already fitted, so there is plenty here for riders who want to develop their riding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith 32 mm tyres fitted and clearance for up to 38 mm, the RS5 also has room for more comfort and grip when the roads get rough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eX6 Aluminium Frame and Carbon Fork\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe X6 aluminium frame provides a durable foundation for regular road riding, while the carbon fork helps keep the front of the bike light. The semi-integrated alloy cockpit keeps the front end tidy, and an aero-profile carbon seatpost completes the build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe frame is compatible with a Universal Derailleur Hanger, and the threaded BSA bottom bracket is a practical choice when it comes time for servicing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eShimano 105 12-Speed Gearing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShimano 105 mechanical shifting gives the RS5 a dependable 2 × 12-speed drivetrain for everything from flatter bunch rides to long climbs. The 52\/36T chainrings provide plenty of gearing for faster road riding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat is a fairly performance-focused crankset. If you are new to road riding or regularly tackle steep climbs, have a chat with us about whether the gearing will suit your riding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePower Meter and Apple Find My\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Branta alloy crankset includes a power meter, allowing you to measure effort, follow structured workouts and pace longer rides without buying a separate power meter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eApple Find My compatibility is also integrated into the crankset. It can help locate the bike using a compatible Apple device and account, but it is not a replacement for a quality physical lock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHydraulic Disc Brakes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShimano 105 hydraulic disc brakes give you controlled, predictable braking in changing weather. The RS5 uses 160 mm Branta rotors at both ends, providing a practical setup for everyday riding and longer descents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRoom for Wider Tyres\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe RS5 comes with Branta R332 700 × 32C tyres, a sensible width for coarse chip seal and less-than-perfect road surfaces. The frame has stated clearance for tyres up to 38 mm, giving you room to choose a wider tyre for extra comfort and grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTyre clearance can vary with the tyre, rim and riding conditions. Leave suitable clearance around the tyre and check compatibility before changing sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eX-LAB X6 aluminium frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eX-LAB carbon fork with 12 × 100 mm front thru-axle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUniversal Derailleur Hanger compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShimano 105 mechanical 2 × 12-speed shifting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShimano 105 hydraulic disc brakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBranta power-meter crankset with 52\/36T chainrings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApple Find My compatibility integrated into the crankset\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBranta A35 SL aluminium wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBranta R332 700 × 32C tyres\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStated tyre clearance up to 700 × 38 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBranta semi-integrated alloy cockpit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eXDS aero-profile carbon seatpost\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded BSA bottom bracket\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWavebreaker White finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClaimed weight: 9.54 kg in size L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho Is It For?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRiders getting into road cycling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFitness rides and regular training\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeekend bunch rides and road events\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLonger rides on sealed roads and coarse chip seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRiders who want a power meter included\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRiders who prefer mechanical shifting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAnyone wanting room to fit wider road tyres\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe RS5 is built around drop handlebars and a road riding position. If you are unsure about the fit, come in for a chat before ordering—we can help you compare sizes and cockpit dimensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur Thoughts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe RS5 is a sensible road bike for someone who wants quality components without paying for a full-carbon frame. Shimano 105 is a groupset we are happy to see on a bike intended for regular use, and the included power meter is a useful extra if you want to get more out of your training.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 32 mm tyres and room for wider rubber are particularly welcome on New Zealand roads. They give you options if comfort matters more than running the narrowest tyre possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCompared with the carbon RS7, the RS5 uses an aluminium frame and aluminium wheels and has a higher claimed weight. If you are mainly riding for fitness, bunch rides and the occasional event, those differences may matter less than getting the right size and a comfortable position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrameset\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame:\u003c\/strong\u003e X-LAB X6 aluminium, UDH compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFork:\u003c\/strong\u003e X-LAB carbon, 12 × 100 mm front thru-axle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeatpost:\u003c\/strong\u003e XDS carbon, aero profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottom bracket:\u003c\/strong\u003e BSA threaded, 24 mm spindle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStated maximum tyre clearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700 × 38 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDrivetrain\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShifters:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shimano 105 ST-R7120, mechanical 12-speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront derailleur:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shimano 105 FD-R7100\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRear derailleur:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shimano 105 RD-R7100, 12-speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrankset:\u003c\/strong\u003e Branta aluminium power-meter crankset, 24 mm steel spindle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChainrings:\u003c\/strong\u003e 52\/36T\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecurity technology:\u003c\/strong\u003e Apple Find My compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBrakes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrakes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shimano 105 BR-R7170 hydraulic disc\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront rotor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Branta PN28, 160 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRear rotor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Branta PN28, 160 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWheels and Tyres\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheelset:\u003c\/strong\u003e Branta A35 SL, aluminium rims\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTyres:\u003c\/strong\u003e Branta R332, 700 × 32C, 60 TPI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCockpit and Contact Points\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCockpit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Branta alloy, semi-integrated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeatpost:\u003c\/strong\u003e XDS carbon, aero profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSaddle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Branta R302 with steel rails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSizes, Colour and Weight\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e XS, S, M, L and XL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wavebreaker White\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClaimed weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.54 kg in size L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSize-Specific Components\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x: auto;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctable\u003e\n    \u003cthead\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n        \u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n        \u003cth\u003eStem\u003c\/th\u003e\n        \u003cth\u003eHandlebar\u003c\/th\u003e\n        \u003cth\u003eCrank\u003c\/th\u003e\n        \u003cth\u003eSeatpost\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003c\/thead\u003e\n    \u003ctbody\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eXS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e380 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e165 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e300 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e380 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e165 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e300 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e400 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e170 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e300 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e400 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e170 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e400 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eXL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e420 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e172.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e400 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRider height is only one part of choosing a road bike.
