VoiceVelo VFV Rhapsody Carbon Hardtail Frameset (29")

850g (Size M) • T47 • Boost 148 • 29 x 3.0 clearance • XC / Marathon / Trail

The modern XC hardtail. Built for today’s race courses.

The VoiceVelo VFV Rhapsody is a next-generation 29er carbon hardtail frame designed for modern cross-country racing — the kind of XC that doesn’t feel like XC anymore.

Courses are rougher. Speeds are higher. Tyres are bigger. And riders need a frame that can sprint like a race bike, but stay composed when the trail turns ugly.

That’s exactly what the Rhapsody delivers: progressive geometry, full internal integration, and a clean standards package — all wrapped into a carbon chassis that comes in at just 850g (Size M).

Built for Modern XC, Marathon & Fast Trail

This is not an old-school “nervous” hardtail. The Rhapsody is built to handle:

• Cross Country racing

• Marathon XC

• Fast trail riding

• Lightweight downcountry builds

If you want a hardtail that still feels sharp, but doesn’t punish you on rough tracks, this is the one.

850g Carbon Frame (Size M)

At 850g in a Medium, the Rhapsody sits in that sweet spot: light enough to build a true race weapon, but built around modern tyre clearance and real-world standards.

T47 Bottom Bracket (Threaded + Modern)

The Rhapsody uses a T47 threaded bottom bracket, combining:

• easy servicing

• solid durability

• modern crank compatibility

T47 is exactly what you want in a performance frame you actually plan to ride hard.

Massive 29 x 3.0 Tyre Clearance

Yes — 29 x 3.0.

Whether you’re building:

• a full-gas XC race bike on 2.25–2.4

• a marathon machine on 2.4–2.6

• or a comfort-first fast trail hardtail

…the clearance is there.

Boost 148 Rear End

The frame is built around Boost 148mm rear hub spacing for modern wheel stiffness and compatibility.

Triple Bottle Cage Mounts

Marathon riders — this is the detail that matters.

The Rhapsody includes three bottle cage mount positions, making it genuinely practical for long days, racing, or self-supported riding.

Flat Mount Brake Compatibility

The Rhapsody is flat mount brake caliper compatible, keeping the rear end clean, modern, and race-focused.

30.9mm Seatpost

Runs a standard 30.9mm seatpost, opening up easy compatibility with lightweight posts and droppers.

Anti-Collision Upper Headset

A small detail that saves frames: the Rhapsody includes an anti-collision upper headset design, helping prevent bar/spacer contact during crashes or over-rotation.
