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.Highlights Light weight Triple Butted Aluminium frame and full carbon tapered fork offer a fast and comfortable ride with precise steering Shimano Tiagra 10 speed shifters and derailleurs give reliable, fast shifting A compact 5034 chainset and 11 32 cassette gives a wide spread of gears for climbing and descending 28mm Vittoria Rubino Graphene 2.0 tyres deliver great grip and comfort with good puncture protection Boardman SLR Wheels are tubeless ready, so can be easily upgraded to run without tubes
