FAST SHIPPING
With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.
Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!
With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.
So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.
Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.
The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.
If you are not happy with any items purchased via our website, under Consumer Contracts Regulations you have the right to return any unused products for a refund or exchange within 30 days.
When the customer sends an item back to the company (or, when the company arranges for collecting from the customer), the company will process the returned item then notify the customer via email of the refund. The refund will be issued within 3 - 5 working days of the product being received by us, it may then take an additional 3 - 5 working days for the refund to be paid into the customers account.Return Address:

*Faulty customised goods (or goods that have been altered in any way) will need to be returned for inspection as customisation may void your warranty and therefore faults may not be covered.
All products ordered from Team Cycles come with a full warranty which covers manufacturing faults and defects in workmanship. If you feel that your purchase has developed a fault, please contact our store for an assessment. To do this you will need proof of purchase.
If taking your product in store is not an option then please email our team on [email protected]. Please include photographs of your product (please keep below 20mb), your web order number (or copy of receipt) so we can immediately start to assess the issue.
In some cases, the manufacturer/supplier may require to see the item(s) before repair or replacement can take place. If this is the case, we will inform you and arrange how to do this. All used items being returned to us must be cleaned for hygiene purposes.
On receipt of your goods we will carry out a full inspection and contact you within three working days of receipt.

Whether riding road or gravel, we love speed. So everything on the RaceMax frame is engineered for that. The end result is the first gravel bike that:
Best of all, the very same RaceMax frame can be built up with a focus on pure speed with 35-46mm WAM tires in 700c can also be turned into an unstoppable machine with very wide tires p to 61mm WAM. Handy for that epic ride or trip abroad. And with two wheelsets, you can switch between the two setups easily. That’s RaceMax.MAIN FEATURESPERFECT AERO REAR WHEEL CUTOUT:Close-fitting cutout to shield the rear wheel and achieve the most speed.MIND THE GAP:No oversized gaps between front tire & downtube for better airflow transition and less turbulence.HUGE CLEARANCE:The original Exploro set today’s standard for up to 54mm tire clearance. The RaceMax has up to 61mm!75MM DOWNTUBE BASE:Lower downtube aero profile is 75mm wide to fully shield water bottle.50MM DOWNTUBE NECK:Upper downtube necks down to 50mm to pick up the airflow coming off the front tire.SIZE-SPECIFIC DOWNTUBE:Reduced depth on smaller sizes to keep frame compliant and keep space for bottles.NARROW HEADTUBE:Headtube is sized like a road bike for a small 1 1/4” steerer for optimal aerodynamics.BIG STEERER:Inside that narrow headtube is a big 1 1/2” steerer for best strength and stiffness.MINMAX HEADSET:To fit this big steerer inside the narrow headtube, we use the custom MinMax headset.MINIMALIST CROWN:Fork crown shapes haven’t changed much since brakes were attached there. Now that we have disc brakes, we don’t need that bulk of material and can reshape the crown for better strength, stiffness and weight. Plus better aerodynamics.PURE-ROAD FORK LENGTH:With the shorter crown, we can make our forks 25mm (1 inch) shorter than other gravel bikes. Exactly the same as a road fork. This offers better stiffness, lower weight, an easier steering geometry and better aerodynamics.DOUBLE-DROP CHAINSTAYS:Dropping the drive-side chainstay improves tire & crank clearance. Dropping the other side as well creates a much more efficient structure behind the BB for higher stiffness & strength as well as lower weight.THREADED BB:Most of our complete bikes come with threaded BBs for the best alignment and to avoid any issues.Yet we avoid gluing threaded alloy rings into the carbon (added weight, complexity and debonding risk).DIRECT-MOUNT REAR BRAKE:Standard frames require an adaptor to use a 160mm brake rotor. We have integrated that into the frame, meaning you don’t need any extra pieces to attach the brake.DIRECT-MOUNT FRONT BRAKE:Standard forks require a flip-flop adaptor to set the correct brake rotor size. Our direct-mount pre-sets the caliper for 160mm rotors without any extra pieces.INTEGRATED FENDER MOUNTS:Invisible until you need them. Perfect for our custom fenders.SELF-ALIGNING WEDGE CLAMP:Self-adjusting bolt angle for higher clamping forces with lower torque.RITCHEY RAIL CLAMP:The new standard for gravel bikes, available for round and oval rails.
