Orange C16R

Can anyone help please. I've been researching the history of this bike. The C16 stands for 16th version of the Clockwork. But what does the R stand for?
 
Re:

"Race" sounds good as it was aimed at the race circuit. FIR were one of a few sponsors of the Orange team with the FIR logo featured on the Pertex race jerseys. The C16Rs came out in '95, for a couple of years. Nice bikes – wished I'd got one at the time.

For some further bedtime reading, here's a link to "Calling all Orange C16 owners" http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewto ... p;t=182168
