Using advanced pressure mapping and real world testing weve shown that the Boardman SLR saddle will provide long ride comfort for the majority of people. Bar width and crank length are also reduced vs previous bikes to make sure they are suited to the fit needs of real cyclists, not just based on old traditions. These changes also reduce the riders frontal area, which has been wind tunnel tested to reduce drag, meaning less effort required for the same speed.HighlightsLightweight Triple Butted Aluminium frame and full carbon fork offer a fast but comfortable rideShimano Claris 8 speed shifters and derailleurs give reliable and smooth gear changesA compact 5034 chainset and 11 32 cassette gives a wide spread of gears for climbing and descendingVittoria Zaffiro tyres deliver great puncture protection, grip and low rolling resistance Boardman SLR Wheels are tubeless ready, so can be easily upgraded to run without tubesMudguard and pannier rack mounts offer an extra dose of year round practicality.*tyre clearance is 25mm with mudguards fitted.All Tredz bikes areFully built & ready to rideFully checked & tested by Cytech qualified mechanicsAvailable with 0% APR finance on any basket over ?99UK price match promise365 day no hassle returnsFree delivery in the UK Mainland on a date that suits youIn the box with every Tredz bike isFree Tredz 9 key trail toolFree Tredz pedal spannerFree basic pedalsTredz drawstring kit bag16 point quality control check sheetBasic bike setup instructionsFree cycle insurance voucher
