SL ROAD
SL
Higher, further, faster more... the SL Road SL could have been built for Strava KOM chasers or, in fact, anyone who enjoys the thrill of greater speed and more distance. A featherweight, minimalist speed package combining Shimano's superb Ultegra groupset, powerful hydraulic disc brakes and DT Swiss wheels, it's crying out to be ridden hard. The frame fulfils three vital criteria: it's light, it's stiff and it looks great. With its carbon bladed fork it's surprisingly comfortable, too. Cables are routed inside the down tube to preserve the frame's good looks and the accuracy of the gears, and we even remembered to include fixing points for accessories like mudguards and luggage carriers. In the right hands, there's no reason why this bike shouldn't be very nearly as fast as a race bike. You have been warned...

GEOMETRY
The SL Road's aluminium frame is made from extremely light double-butted tubes, giving the best combination of low weight, superb strength and great ride quality. The frame's inherent rigidity and low weight help convert energy at the pedals into efficient forward propulsion... which means speed! For the lightweight fork's design, we took our inspiration from our racing bikes. The æro shape is exceptionally stiff for accurate steering, and it even looks fast to match the bike's purity of purpose. We also routed the cables inside the down tube, adding to the bike's sleek looks and reducing wear and tear in the process - because you should be able to spend your time riding your bike, not maintaining it.
