The Vielo R+ 1 frameset has been optimised for a 1X set up from the ground up. The Alto model weigh’s just 880g (raw) and this weight saving combined with an incredibly aerodynamic design means this bike will climb as well as anything but also hold its speed on the flat. The SRAM Red 1X groupset helps to reduce weight and keep the overall setup slick.
The secret weapon…the Classified R50 wheelset. This is the latest technology that essentially moves your front derailleur into you hub. Why? It cleans up the airflow around your crankset by running a single chainring and no front derailleur. For some people the 1X set up limits the gear range but this is where the classified hub comes in to allow you to drop your gear to 0.7 of the current gearing (e.g from 50T to 35T). The second benefit of moving gears into the hub is allowing you to change gear under load. You can be pedalling at up to 1000w and with a press of a button the hub seamlessly changes your ratio.
