Boardman Elite SLR Disc 9.0 (Endurance)

"The Boardman SLR 9.0 Endurance Disc is a wolf in sheeps clothing. On the outside, it is an sportive bike, aimed at all day long endurance. It is equipped with a top level Ultegra groupset and the superb BRRS785 Hydraulic Disc brakes . However, it is the frame that makes this bike so special. You get a superlight bike, stiff and comfortable chassis that has been specifically designed for disc brakes. The engineers at Boardman Elite have got thru axles on both the front and rear wheels, ensuring good stiffness and exceptional braking.

The SuperLight Road Endurance frame is a Toray T1000/T800 monocoque frame, simply the best carbon currently available for building bikes. Although the Boardman Engineers focus on race performance, the SLR is also ready for real life riding conditions. The frame has profiled seat stays for a bit road buzz absorbtion, without losing bottom bracket stiffness for pedal effeciency. The Geometry is aimed around all day riding, so it is comfortable, stable and predictable, but not so much to lose its race pedigree. "
