RotoR’s 2014 new product line proves that we are committed

to the quality and technology that define us. Our new products

put RotoR back into the forefront as a top-tier brand in

international cycling.

The driving force behind every component: RotoR PoWERSme!, was born with the aim of pushing every cyclist to

obtain their maximum potential, no matter their sport or their

level, from the professional cyclist who looks for a victory in a

Tour, to the occasional cyclist, who just enjoys their mountain

trail.

Welcome to RotoR 2014.

RotoR products are not only designed for professional cyclists

and triathletes, but also for all levels of athletes, who, in their own

level, look for maximum performance and ways to avoid injuries.

BIKE COMPONENTS

ROTOR components have always been the choice of triathletes and of the winners of the most important bike competitions around the world: MTB, Road, Cyclocross, World Championships, le Tour de France, Ironman and even the Olympic Games.

4

RotoR Bike Components was Pablo Carrasco’s concept. Carrasco is an Aeronautical

Engineer, born in Málaga, Spain, and is responsible for innovations and ideas for Rotor

products that would be an upgrade to those on the market at the time. On one of his rides,

he came up with what would later become the best solution to the biomechanical problems

of the dead centers in pedaling.

Every bicycle needs two wheels and RotoR was born when Ignacio Estellés (Marketing and

PR expert with a degree in Law) joined Pablo, completing the missing link.

The restless, privileged and innovative mind of Pablo, met the energy and driving force of

Ignacio. Together they convinced the press, investors and elite athletes of the possibilities

and benefits of the original system.

It has been almost 20 years since the RotoR SYStEm was developed at the Aeronautical

Engineering School of Madrid, where Pablo designed the first prototypes as a student.

Making contact with Enrique del Rey, at the time a professional Enduro rider and founder of

a motorbike and bicycle components factory, was key. His CNC machinery and skill could

finally turn Pablo’s ideas into real world products.

Although the RotoR SYStEm was commercialized and used

successfully by cyclists and triathletes, in 2005 RotoR decided

to go against the grain and produce oval chainrings. The

biomechanical effects of the Q-Rings were what Pablo Carrasco was

looking to achieve, but without the complexity and weight of the

RotoR SYStEm.

This is how Rotor’s Q-Rings, which are compatible with almost

every crankset in the market, were born. The Q-Ring’s success in

competition, especially Carlos Sastre’s victory in the 2008 Tour de

France, has been the best advertising for RotoR components.

The dream two childhood friends had finally came true with the

creation of RotoR. From there, the brand has continued to grow

and develop in terms of portfolio and product line as well as in

facilities and personnel.

RotoR’s staff is well known for their great love of cycling and

triathlon. They test the products themselves and contribute their

perspective from the everyday rider. They reflect optimism and

remind the company to aim for excellence year after year.

RacE PROVEN

-Why did you choose QXl chainrings and what are the benefits for you?The science indicates there’s an advantage, a UCI legal one

too, and that’s why I persevered when it first felt strange to be

pedaling an oval. Now that I’m accustomed to it, I no longer

feel any difference. They give me the edge with better pedaling

efficiency, less fatigue and extra power in all occasions.

-What are your personal tips to anyone who wants to try Rotor QXl rings?Don’t just buy the rings, buy into the concept. It will take a while

to become accustomed to them but once you have, there’s a

possibility it will give you an advantage, silly not to try really!

-When did you get started with the QXl rings?Rotor delivered the QXl to me after the TdF

2012. I’ve been using them ever since

on my Cervelo road and TT bikes. My

ocP position is 2 and I choose to

mount them on the Flow cranks.

-how did you get started with Rotor Q-Rings?Being an ambitious athlete and sports scientist, I am always

looking for ways to improve my performance. One day, a long

time dealer friend, Fritz Buchstaller from Germany told me

about Rotor Q-Rings and had me try them. They felt natural in

no time.

-and success did not take long to come...In May 2011, I won IronMan Lanzarote on Q-Rings, setting the

course record. I got off the bike with fresh feeling legs and they

helped me pass the only person to get off the bike before me.

It’s a big advantage to start the run split fresher.

-What tips do you have for anyone who wants to get started with Q-Rings?Do one legged pedal drills. Be patient, even

if they feel strange. you will feel great

in no time. I ride in ocP3 and

feel stronger both seated and

standing.

-When did you first try Q-Rings?At the Roc d’Azur (France) in 2008. I am always open to

something new, so I raced on them the next day. Immediately

I had great results and felt comfortable. My ocP is 3, which

makes me confortable both sitting and standing up.

-What tips do you have for anyone who wants to get started with Rotor products?I’d advise them to wait several days to draw any conclusions,

even though I was okay from day one. If they want to adjust

their ocP, be patient, don’t change your position every day.

-how was the QX1 prototype?Winning the 2013 UCI Marathon World Championship says

it all. I love simple systems which are super light, reliable and

give me more power. I really feel the difference

on races of 100km.

-are you happy with the team’s choice to use Q-Rings?Of course, you just have to see the results. The whole team

has adapted perfectly and are performing well. No one has

suffered any pain or odd sensations. Even I installed them on

my bike and notice a difference!

-did you need to adjust the ocP?We had every cyclist use ocP3 to start with. Then, during one

of the training camps, one of the RotoR technicians made

some tests and adjusted their ocP according to each athlete’s

individual pedaling.

-all of the young athletes are very talented, everyone is expecting that many of them will become professionals.I hope so. But, before that, they have to go

through Sub23 category, for which we are

gathering a team for 2014. That’s why

they’ll continue to use Q-Rings.

WhyQ-RINGS?Throughout ROTOR history, many professional cyclists and triathle-

tes have chosen Q-Rings. Their victories, like Gold at the Olympics,

the Tour de France, over twenty five Ironman races and more than

twenty MTB, Road, TT and CX World Championship titles speak for

themselves.

Biomechanical research indicates that with Q-Rings, the effort

is translated into better performance and pedaling efficiency.

Q-Rings benefit most from pedaling’s strongest muscles and

compensate for the inefficient dead center areas. In scientific 1 km

time trial studies, Q-Rings gave a 1.6 second advantage compared

to round rings.

Some of the Q-Rings’ benefits include improved overall perfor-

mance, a greater ability to accelerate or sprint, a delay in the sensa-

tion of muscular fatigue, smoother torque and better grip off road.

Oval Q-RINGS MaXIMIzE THE USE OF YOUR

POWER zOnE

Force variation

ààa leg can’t deliver a constant amount of power throughout the pedal stroke as shown by the green lines (average

torque curve for a cyclist’s left and right leg).

ààCircular chainrings try to create a constant resistance level, as shown by the dotted line. Comparing

the varying green lines to the linear dotted line it is clear that pedaling will never be smooth.

ààa Q-Ring offers chainring resistance (as shown by the purple line) that corresponds better to one’s actual power output.

Q-Ring Zones

ààThe maximum diameter of the Q-Ring occurs where the greatest amount of power is produced in the pedal stroke.

ààMinimum diameter of the Q-Ring occurs where the “dead spots” are located.

Muscular activation

ààTo our right, the image shows the distribution of muscular effort during each part of the pedaling.

ààColors from the both the spin scan and muscular activation graph match the muscles in the human figures above.

Spin Scan

ààQ-Rings maximize use of the effective zones (increasing positive work) and reduce the intensity of the weak and inefficient zones (thereby creating less negative work).

ààIn the spin scans to the right (L: Round ring, R: Q-Ring) you can see the Q-Ring graphs are clearly fuller, smoother, more full, and superior to round rings.

12

Switching from round rings to Q-Rings is very easy and even though

it requires a short transition period, you will start seeing benefits

right away. Muscles need to adapt to the new, more efficient way

of pedaling. It is a hardly noticeable process that happens naturally,

with no sudden changes. The athlete will start feeling comfortable

with Q-Rings progressively. Without giving it any thought, you are

applying your power in a more efficient manner. At the same time,

you are protecting your knees from possible injuries by reducing the

stress on your knees in the dead spots.

The OCP allows one to vary the angle that a Q-Ring offers its

greatest resistance, adjusting it to the moment when the athlete

delivers their maximum power. The OCP ring allows up to 20 de-

grees of angular variation between the finely stepped first and last

adjustment points, all to optimize each individual’s downstroke.

Road Q-Rings and QXL have 5 OCP regulation points. MTB

have 3 OCP regulation points. The Micro Adjust Spider (or MAS,

available for 3D+ and standard on Flow cranks and the ROTOR POWER) doubles this number of OCP points. MAS reduces the

angle between OCP points to about 2.5 degrees.

Personal adjustment is a process worth the time. The exact

position is not determined by your height or weight but by your

individual pedaling style and your muscle distribution.

13

Before you switch to the next

point, it’s best to ensure that you

have ridden at least 10 hours on

the previous one. With a shorter

test period you might still feel un-

comfortable, even if you were in

the process of adapting perfectly.

Starting at the intermediate point, #3, once having passed the

adaptation stages, the appearance of certain symptoms makes it

advisable to switch the OCP. When you do this, only change your

OCP point up or down one number at a time.

GO DOWN ONE OCP POSITION (I.E. 3-2) IF

àà It is easy for you to change your pace and sprint but hard to keep a steady rhythm.àà You need a low cadence to be comfortable or sit on the edge of the saddle more than usual.àà Pedaling resistance comes too late/hyperextended ankleàà You feel pain behind your knee.

GO UP ONE OCP POSITION (I.E. 3-4) IF

àà You are comfortable at a steady speed but it is hard to vary your pace.àà You need to increase cadence to be comfortable or slide to the very back of your saddle.àà Pedaling resistance occurs too early/hyperflexed ankle.àà You feel pain at the front of your knee.

TECHNOLOGY

UNIVERSAL BOTTOM BRACKET CONCEPT

TWIN LEG CONCEPT

TRINITY DRILLING SYSTEM

MICRO ADJUST SPIDER

The UBB is a concept that encompasses and works with All BB standards, forever eliminating complicated BB/Crank compatibility problems. It allows installation of almost any 30 or 24mm axle crank from ROTOR on the bike you have, regardless of its BB standard.

ROTOR’s Twin Leg Concept gives the stiffest possible crankset by balancing the cranks’ left-to-right rigidity. There is no point in making an ultra-rigid right crank arm if the left crank arm can’t match it. By designing the crankset as a “real set”, not just two individual arms, TlC creates the most balanced crankset possible.

ROTOR’s CNC crank arms are stiffer than the competitions forged products due to our Trinity Drilling System. This process drills three full-depth holes from axle to pedal, leaving behind a box-trellised structure similar to bridges. This gives our crank arms superior rigidity and an exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio.

“MAS” stands for Micro Adjust Spider and means “More” in Spanish. That is what this technology is all about: More adjustability for a further optimized Q-Ring setup. Thanks to its secondary bolt holes, Q-Ring users can regulate their Q’s with twice the accuracy of standard cranks.

A.L.M.A. APPROPRIATE LIGHTWEIGHT MATERIAL APPLICATION

“ALMA” means “Soul” in Spanish. We think a products’ soul is in its material. Because ROTOR’s primary goal is to maximize performance, we allow functionality, not fashion, to define which material is best. The performance and reliability of ROTOR products come from a long design process where the material selection is key.

Solutions. Together with performance, that’s probably the best word to describe ROTOR’s design philosophy. We identify performance problems and set out to solve them, resulting in improved & optimized products. Reliability and functionality lead our design ethos, meaning that our products often differ from the market norm – in a good way. performance is never compromised.

Can I fit a set of Q-Rings on my cranks or should I buy a Rotor one?àà There is a wide range of Q-Rings for almost all the cranks in the market. please visit our website, check with your local dealer, or send us an e-mail to check compatibilities.

Will the shifting performances decrease when using Q-Rings?àà Absolutely not, the Q-Rings are designed to maintain 100% shifting performance despite the shape of the rings.

Are the Q-Rings compatible with 11 speed groupsets?àà yes they are, we have designed a specific tooth profile to suit the needs of 11 speed chains.

Are the Q-Rings compatible with electronic groupsets?àà yes they are, some of the pro teams are riding in the most important races around the world using this combination.

What is the OCP system?àà Optimum Chainring Position. Q-Rings are designed to be adjusted, depending on the pedaling stroke of each individual cyclist. This ensures the maximum diameter always coincides with your maximum power, regardless of pedaling style, bike geometry or muscle build, and guaranteeing full benefit from the Q-Ring’s performance-boosting ovality.

I don´t feel comfortable in OCP position 3, which one should I choose?àà please see the Adaptation and setup document included in your Q-Ring package for instructions on OCP optimization and adaptation (also available on rotorbike.com). Once you have fully adapted, if you feel resistance is coming too early, switch to a OCP number one step higher (3 to 4 ), if you feel resistance coming too late, change to a OCP number one step lower (3 to 2).

Is the UBB30 compatible with my bike?àà We have a collection of BB´s to fit a Rotor uBB30 crankset for any current bike in the market except BB90 and 92.

Tips for your first Q-Ring setàà We recommend using a set of Q-Rings with the same number of teeth as the round rings you are using now.àà Always use a full set of Q-Rings, both inside and outside chainrings.àà When installing them, we always recommend road and mtb riders to start on position 3 (middle position) and position 4 for TT bikes.àà Some bicycle models require a set of adapters (Original Rotor Spare parts) in order to adjust the height of the derailleur correctly.
