Boardman SLR 8.9 105 Mens Road Bike - M

Boardman SLR 8.9 105 Mens Road Bike - M Frame Frame: Boardman carbon SLR frame with aero tube profiles Forks: Full carbon forks for better comfort and weight saving Gears: 22 speed Shimano 105 and 11-30 cassette gives slick shifting over a wide range Brakes: Tektro R315 brakes for controlled and powerful stopping Wheels: Boardman wheels and Vittoria's Zaffiro tyres keep you rolling To celebrate the launch of the new range, Boardman have pushed the boat out and upgraded their most popular carbon road bike. Not only does the SLR 8.9c have a stunning paint fade finish but they’ve also upgraded the groupset to the smooth and light weight 11 Speed Shimano 105. The old bike scored 4.5 out of 5 in several magazine reviews with the only criticisms being for the 10 speed gears, so this new model markedly improves on what customers and critics told us was already a great package at a market beating price. The New Boardman SLR 8.9c Road Bike has exactly the same aero tube profiles and geometry as the top of the range SLR 9.6 and so comes with an excellent pedigree. Features such as the integrated seat clamp will reduce drag further and yet dropped seat stays underneath you and a full carbon fork both help with maintaining comfort. We’ve not forgotten that most of us ‘feel the need for speed’ though and a stiff bottom bracket area means that the bike responds instantly when you put the power down. With respected components such as Vittoria Rubino Pro IV tyres you are assured of a bike that’s fast and agile enough to race, comfortable enough for longer days in the saddle and also brilliant Value for Money.
