CHAPTER2 Bikes Reviews 91

Boutique bike with swag! great handling and amazing as well match it with ceramics T47 BB and you will fly... Love my 1st Chapter2 Toa bike highly recommended to Cyclist aficionados that wants a great bike both with looks and performance most of all added individualism and uniqueness. Why follow the herd if you can be the image maker!

Built my dream bike, Chapter2 Rere (Pounamu). I love the design and color. Integrated Mana bar is perfect combo! Smooth handling and the riding experience was so nice. Totally happy!

Recently built a Koko Tuhua, and I am so happy with the performance! I use it to race olympic distance triathlons and i think it's the best bike I've had so far!

I'm a repeat buyer / owner. The latest is a '22 Gravel AO. The experience (with a Dealer) started ok but quickly went bad. In true Chapter 2 Fashion, Mike Pryde stepped in VERY quickly and along with his team rescued my Order and the Frameset was delivered promptly.
Ever since early 2019, when I first discovered Chapter 2 , Excellent Communication & Responsiveness have been hallmarks of the brand. Mike exhibits them everyday and his team reflects his leadership.
Chapter 2 also recognizes that an Outstanding Product must be supported with Service to match.

Now onto my new AO, I love it. Even more given the hurdles it has already survived. Less than 10 days after FrameSet delivery in SWFL, just as the build had started, Hurricane Ian arrived. Fast forward 3+ weeks after power was restored & Bike Shop was back up and running, The AO was ready to do a couple of short pavement rides & get a Fit to dial it in. It was disassembled and loaded into a Bike Case for my winter trip to New Zealand & Australia.

Yes, I not only fell in Love with Chapter 2 but also New Zealand, which I visited in March '19 for the first time. The pandemic prevented my travels until this year.
So I've brought my Designed in New Zealand AO back for a romp in the homeland

I'm in New Zealand as I write this and after a couple of shorter Gravel shakedowns, I'm now doing regular Gravel & SingleTrack rides. Today was my longest ever Gravel / SingleTrack ride (I'm a road cyclist - which is why my First C2 was a '19 Tere which I still ride). Fun stuff - the AO is much more capable than I am at this point. I'm just trying to learn & keep up

Initial impressions - Stunning Looks, Solid, Very Responsive to power input, Crisp Handling, No Drama, Quiet. The other thing that has caught my attention are all the subtle enhancements / advancements Chapter 2 has incorporated into their Design vs my 2019 Tere which I also Love. Things like Small Parts ie;thru-Axles, Frame shaping, etc. The unique / limited Paint & accent design still standout from all the other brands.

Bottom Line - If You want a high quality unique Frameset, supported by an Outstanding Company and lots of smiles during & after Your rides, buy a Chapter 2 - You won't be disappointed

Recently purchased and built up a Chapter 2 AO. They certainly look the goods with stunning paint and numerous features (port covers, moveable dropout etc) and the ride is brilliant. A truely versatile bike, responsive with road wheels yet stable and planted when running larger rubber on gravel. Mike and team are super responsive to questions making the entire build process an easy one. Buy one, you won't regret it.

After doing the research about Chapter 2 and the amazing bikes they produce, it was time to buy and try. I purchased a Chapter 2 AO and couldn't be happier. I use it mainly for gravel but also put my road wheels on from time to time and it works very well for that discipline as well. After seeing my new bike and how happy I was with it, my wife purchased an AO as well and is very happy with hers too. We live in ON Canada and both bike were purchased through Lafo Bikes in QC and Claude there is a great dealer and a very accommodating supplier. Perhaps a couple dedicated C2 road bikes in our future. Thank you Michael, you design and produce really fun and stunning bicycles.

Chapter2 Huru Disc Brake, best bike ever, and this is not my first bike : )
Lightweight, nibble, predictable and comfortable. Great communication with Michael Pryde , great service , love the bike and it is not a big brand bike , and I like that .

I have been a fan since “chapter one” with the Alizé, which I still own and love. A few years ago I upgraded to the Rere, and it is the best bike I have ever owned. Recently I had an incredible test ride on the AO and now wondering if it is finally time to join the disc/gravel movement…

Truly amazing bikes! I bought an AO gravel bike, and from the moment I saw the packaging it was confirmed I decided for something special. Attention for detail is great. And the bike itself rides amazing. I am a quite experienced rider, mtb/road/gravel for over 25 years, and this is one of the best! I am seriously considering a Chapter2 roadbike as well.

I got the Rere. The ride quality of the bike is absolutely amazing. Rides like a Rolls-Royce, but faster.

the first time I got to know chapter 2 bicycles from my wife, because she works in a bicycle shop that sells chapter 2 bicycles in Bandung, first I will try I hesitate, but after I use chapter 2 bikes it feels different from other bikes, first I tried using RERE and I was surprised when I used it flat, it turned out to be able to catch up to a speed of 50 km and above, it was fast, I think chapter 2 is the best, oh yes, my wife uses chapter 2 too, she uses chapter 2 HURU which is very good for use in the field uphill, thank you mike for creating a bike that I think is the best and different from the others,,,

All around excellent experience. From the (pre)order process to riding my TOA. The frame makes for a very enjoyable build. It's fast, and responsive while giving a smooth ride. On top of all that, this thing turns heads everywhere I take it.

Chapter2Japan代表のMichael Rice氏との出会いが私のcycle lifeを大きく変えてくれました。NazareにはじまりChapter2はREREを2台、HURUを2台購入し、最初のREREは友人に渡りましたが現在3台を保有しています。Chapter2は車に例えるならフェラーリでもなくポルシェでもなく、ロータスのようなお洒落で個性的で速いイメージのロードバイクです。行きつけのショップでも大変評判がよく、購入するお客様が増えています。これからもずっと乗り続けます。

Working with Michael Pryde and his team at Chapter 2 was a pleasure. My frame arrived within days of my order - shockingly quickly, and in a beautifully thought out shipping box. The paint job and general finish quality of my Koko are amazing - even more beautiful than the website shows. I’ve never received more compliments for any other bike. As for the ride quality, it’s been truly impressive. Coming off a Cervelo S5, I honestly prefer the feel of the Koko. From training rides to crit cornering to finish sprints, the Koko has been a pure joy. To the team at Chapter 2, thanks for bringing this bike to us all!

I have the TERE. When I was looking for a basic frame, the TERE was the very basic and Purple is my favorite color. I would like another C2 frames, but it is difficult because of the weak yen.

The Chapter2 Koko frame and Mana Bar combo is a outstanding set up. Just had my first ride on the completed build and it is smooth! The wheelbase and handling characteristics our outstanding and snappy. I am a shorter rider and purchased a XXS, love the way it fits and am looking forward to my next purchase and build on the Huru in the coming year.
Michael Pryde has been outstanding and very responsive to any questions and providing requested information.
As this is my first week with the new build I will update with experiences over the coming month as I complete a few rides upcoming.

It's been a year since I bought my Chapter 2 Rere. It is the perfect fit for the Grand Fondo's I have performed in. It is an extremely fast bike that offers comfort and extreme confident and reactive handling. Next year I will use it in an Ironman event. The bike even offers the possibility to use it is as a TT bike. You can turn around the saddle stem, which allows you to install a TT-saddle. The only point of improvement I see, is providing the options to buy a TT steering wheel.

I’ve loved my Rere since the day it showed up. It’s a well handling aero bike with at just wants to go fast. Can’t wait to try another type of frame from Chapter2.

I'm in love with my Chapter2 bikes: Tere disc & AO. Bikes design & performance are great while construction & finishing details are unique. On the other hand, delivery & service provided by the brand is extremely fast & responsive. I recommend warmly.

These bikes are one of a kind. Between my wife and I we've owned the Tere, Rere and now the TOA. Hands down my favorite build over the years. The Tere is an amazing all arounder and excels in the hills and a crit sprint as well. The TOA is a beautiful work of art and even more fun to ride! If you are looking to control every detail of your new build, Chapter2 has exactly what you need with one of their platforms.
