Raleigh

Question is - can someone explain how the model #'s work on these Raleigh RC bikes.

 

for example - Is a RC2000 an earlier model than say the RC6000 or RC7000 - what is the major difference between all of them?

The greater the number the better the components.

Probably the best way top put it!

 

All bike manufacturers tend to use the same naming for their various bike types, each year the previous years range is "discontiunued", then the new spec version is released. This is normally around Sep-Nov (the revealing of the new range).

 

RC2000 is always going to be entry level, as the increments go up so the bikes spec increases. Think generally the RC2000, RC3000, RC4500, RC6000 all have the same frame and fork, just groupset differs.

As the models go up so may the wheelsets change.

 

RC2000 - normally Sora

RC3000 - Tiagra

RC6000 - 105

RC7000 - Ultegra

 

and so on.
