Specs | Geometry Sizing Chart | Detailed Pics (Hub QR levers may differ from photos)
NOTE: This bike is a MY2012 with MY2012 SRAM Red parts. Non-Yaw Front Derailleur. This is not the newly released MY2013 SRAM Red
According to James Huang Editor at Bikeradar.com: "I confirmed in person during the event with both the SRAM global road media manager and the US road media manager and yes, the new Red group is absolutely, positively, unquestionably a MY2013 group. It's been referred to as a 2012 group (even in some of SRAM's own marketing materials) only because the release is coming so early. SRAM actually prefers to just reference it as "new Red" vs "old Red".... honestly no real debate to the topic. It's a MY2013 product, plain and simple.)" http://www.bikeradar.com/news/article/sram-red-groupset-2013-details-leaked-32565/

The new Le Champion Inferno bikes draw upon some of the same high-technology used in the top-of-the-line Immortal carbon fiber frames. We have sold thousands of Motobecane Immortals. This Immortal Carbon Fiber frame has the best quality and design in a carbon fiber frame we have seen. Customers who own Immortals send friends and family to buy these excellent road bikes all the time.

Here is what just a few magazines say:

Le Champion Immortal Force– ROAD

“The Immortal is like a Rocket. Maneuverability is instant; feel on the pavement is smooth and quiet.”

IMMORTAL – VELO NEWS
“Value leader Motobecane has an assortment of high-quality bicycles at jaw-dropping low prices. The 15.4 lb Immortal Team boasts full carbon construction and complete Dura-Ace. In business for decades, MotobecaneUSA has most recently focused on outstanding value.”

IMMORTAL ICE – ROAD BIKE ACTION MAGAZINE
“the Immortal feels perfectly balanced below its rider and picks up speed without hesitation. Cornering the Immortal Ice is quite pleasurable. You can take your hands off of the Immortal Ice’s handlebars and stretch while you are descending, which is a desirable trait for a true road bike. Stand on the pedals and the torsionally rigid carbon frame will deliver precisely metered power to the cranks, without a hint of your power being wasted on lateral movement.”

IMMORTAL SPIRIT – BICYCLING MAGAZINE
“Your friends will drool over the Immortal Spirit until you drop them. The overall ride is truly amazing.”

Even when reviewed at list price, magazines feel the Motobecane Immortals are incredible values.

When you consider the discount BIKESDIRECT offers on these super quality carbon fiber road bikes; nothing else comes even close!

Compared to the Century and Immortal Frames:
The Le Champion CF frame is positioned between the more relaxed geometry Century series and the more aggressive pro-oriented Immortal carbon frames. These Le Champion CF frames are high-performance yet with a semi-compact geometry that can allow for a higher/less aggressive position if the rider so chooses.

Professionally Tested with Top Reviews
The Le Champion Inferno uses much of the same technology used in the proven Immortal carbon series. The Immortal carbon frames are a Top of the Line, Monocoque High Modulus Carbon Fiber Frame. Immortals have been ridden and tested extensively by Roadie International and Bicycling Magazine for several MONTHS and all the editors raved about them.

Shopping Comparison Guide
Shop around for other FULL CARBON frame bike with SRAM RED 20 Speed like the Trek Madone, Specialized Roubaix, Giant OCR or other comparable high-end brand name - You'd pay $5,000 or more.

If you find a bike for around $2200, it will be equipped with SRAM Rival which is two steps down from SRAM RED and will not have Ksyrium wheels. Why buy a heavier bike with lower specs when you can have a lighter, smooth riding FULL Carbon Bike with 2012 SRAM RED 20 speed for the same money or even less?

How much Assembly needs to be done?
We are selling these bikes Factory Direct in the Factory box so you get to pay a price comparable to what dealers pay for similarly equipped bikes. These are factory boxed in "dealer-ready" condition and are approx 90% assembled. Most customers have told us they can complete the assembly and tuning in 25 minutes or so.
