Engineered without compromise, the new Moulton NS Rapide is the most technologically advanced road-focused bicycle ever created by Moulton.
Designed for performance road and all-road riding, the Rapide has at its core a refined evolution of the iconic New Series separable spaceframe. Introducing a larger 451mm wheel platform, aerodynamic carbon wheels and compatibility with the latest 12- and 13-speed road transmissions, it pushes Moulton road performance into new territory with greater high-speed stability, precision and efficiency.
Built from a highly considered blend of specialist steels, it is the lightest separable New Series model to date and the clearest expression of modern Moulton performance engineering.
