Tifosi Scalare 105 Disc Review
Carbon Fibre Frame & Fork
Like last years model, this frame is manufactured here in the UK and is produced from Toray T500 and T700 carbon fibre. These two different grades of carbon are used in key areas throughout the frame to give the perfect balance between stiffness, weight and responsiveness.
Improved Comfort
Tifosi's R&D department has also focused on improving ride comfort with updated rear stays to dampen road vibrations without compromising its excellent road feel. With a geometry specifically designed for comfort, no matter the distance you will be able to ride at your best.
Shimano 105 Groupset
This exclusive build is equipped with Shimano's 105 groupset and hydraulic disc brakes. Precise and reliable shifting performance paired with a wide range of gearing from a 11-32T cassette, assists you to perform at your best no matter the gradient. If you are riding all year-round you will have reliable shifting at your fingertips.
FSA Omega Chainset
The bike comes with a compact 50-34T FSA Omega Chainset that preserves efficient pedalling and shifting performance. With this range of gearing, riders will be able to both push on the flat and maintain smooth cadence when climbing.
Hydraulic Disc Brakes
Shimano’s 105 hydraulic disc brakes offer consistent and powerful braking especially in the wet, for a confidence-inspired ride. Although this adds additional weight to the bike, the high performance overweighs the added weight. This will not only mean you can brake later on descents but prolongs the life span of your wheels.
Mavic AllRoad Wheelset
The Mavic AllRoad wheelset is lightweight and durable, making for a smooth and fast ride on varied road terrain. You can run lower pressures for additional comfort on rougher roads and longer days in the saddle. Thru-axles keep everything stiff and secure for a responsive ride.
Additional Features
The new frame and fork are specifically designed with clearance for up to 28mm tyres. Mudguards can also be fitted using the hidden mudguard eyelets in the frame and fork for those wet commutes and winter training rides.
