Boardman SLR Race 9.8 2017 - Road Bike

Take one SLR frame and fork, add a Sram Red 22 groupset and a pair of our own SLR Elite Nine carbon clincher wheels and what do you end up with? A bike that’s under the UCI weight limit as a starting point. The SLR Race 9.8 is an out of the box race machine that is capable of catapulting you over the world’s highest mountain passes whether you have a number on or not.

Tapered Full Carbon Fork: A tapered, full carbon fork with a 1 1/2 inch lower headset bearing increases stiffness and steering precision

FEA developed Frame: The frame has been developed using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to put material where it is needed and remove it where it isn't, ensuring stiffness and strength are maximised

Super Light Weight: By using the best quality carbon fibre, and carefully sculpting tube profiles, we've managed to keep the weight of the SLR Race down to a feather-like 798g for a medium frame

Race Focussed Geometry: The geometry of the SLR Endurance offers the fast but predictable handling and an aerodynamic position to cope with all race situations

Box Section Chain Stays: Wide and stiff box section chain stays allow maximum power transfer, ensuring the SLR Race turns your power into speed as directly as possible

PF30 Bottom Bracket: PF30 gives a wider bottom bracket shell allowing us to profile the chain stays for outstanding power transfer

Internal Cable Routing: Internal cable routing improves airflow over the frame as well as saving weight compared to external routing. It also minimises cable contamination, ensuring shifting and braking stays smooth for longer.

C10 Carbon Frame: Boardman's C10 Carbon uses ultra high modulus fibres in key areas of the frame and fork, boosting stiffness whilst reducing overall frame weight
