With an all-carbon frame, the Raleigh Supercourse is set to help you dish out plenty of speed and power all over the racecourse.

Raleigh's ACE Evolution Direct Connect carbon frame is superbly lightweight and responsive; Easton EC70 carbon fork with aluminum steerer further reduces weight
FSA Omega Compact crankset drives a SRAM 12-26 9-speed cassette for 18 gear combinations to handle tough climbs and spirited sprints
Shimano Tiagra front and 105 rear derailleurs are controlled by Tiagra STI levers for smooth shifting performance
Tektro Dual Pivot caliper brakes provide dependable braking power should you need to slow down
Shimano R500 wheelset and Vittoria Zaffiro tires ensure low rolling resistance and grippy handling in the turns
Cockpit features FSA Wing Compact handlebar, Avenir 200 Series stem and seatpost and a Selle San Marco Ponza Power saddle
Specs are subject to change

After its initial break-in period you might notice your bicycle performing less responsively than the day you brought it home. Not to worry, this is typical of all new bicycles and simply reflects that cables have stretched or their housings have seated themselves into final position. To keep running at peak performance, all REI bicycles come with a FREE warranty tune-up, which should be accomplished between the first 100-200 miles of riding or after the first two months if you're accumulating miles less quickly. Contact your nearest REI bike shop for details and an appointment for this important service.

Imported.

Comments about Raleigh Supercourse Bike - 2009:

I bought this bike back in late 2008. I really enjoyed the bike as it is light and responsive. I road it in the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon and another dozen times during 2009. However, in 2010, I was mashing up a hill in Sausalito (exerting significant force and torque) and the frame (between the crank and the rear derailleur) cracked :( I was really surprised considering that I had only ridden the bike 20 or so times. However, I was relieved when I remembered that Raleigh had lifetime warranty on the frame. Unfortunately, Raleigh is not willing to replace my frame but instead wants to charge me for a replacement frame as they say that I "crashed" (judging from the crack). I always stored in my condo and took great care of it and NEVER crashed it. I am really bummed as I really liked the bike and really liked Raleigh (I had several Raleigh mountain bikes over the years). I will never buy a Raleigh bike again because of their customer service... they should take a leaf of Apple's customer service manual (it is no surprise that Apple is dominating the tech space).

Comments about Raleigh Supercourse Bike - 2009:

I have the 2007 version of this bike. Looks like exactly the same components. I have no complaints about any of the mechanics. I had the choice of the "pro" or "sport" versions of this bike, the difference being the height of the handle bars. I choose the slightly higher, somewhat more relaxed height and have been very happy with it. This bike has been great for me as a recreational rider. I also used it for commuting last summer quite a bit. I looked into upgrading the wheels but after research realized that the weight benefit would be marginal and these wheels have needed no truing or other adjustments so far over lots of rough roads. If I were to buy again I'd look at an upgraded derailleur set (I've noticed a bit better performance on another road bike I have.)

Comments about Raleigh Supercourse Bike - 2009:

This is my very first road bike and I have no complaints! I have spent so much time on it already and am so glad I made this my choice. I don't know much about the technicalities of a bike (I have my boyfriend for that!) but when I bought this bike and had my boyfriend try it out he said "do you realize what a great bike this is?" so I assumed I made a good choice. He also says it looks better than his Specialized so that's a point there too. I'm happy with my choice and it's so light and fun to ride. Thanks Raleigh!
