    ULTRA-AERO SL

    When being fast just isn’t fast enough! Faster in the wind tunnel and faster on the road, the ULTRA-AERO SL is designed to dominate, defeat the wind, and make your fastest rides even faster.

  • Aerodynamic Performance

    Aerodynamic Performance

    Ride faster with a frame engineered to minimise drag in real-world conditions. The ULTRA-AERO SL has been refined around the crosswinds riders actually face, delivering proven aerodynamic gains that translate into measurable time savings over race distances.

  • Aero Frame Design

    Aero Frame Design

    Hold speed with tube profiles developed through CFD, wind tunnel and real-world testing. The frame, fork and seatpost work as a unified aerodynamic system, optimised to manage airflow across a wide range of yaw angles for maximum efficiency.

  • Aero-Optimised Downtube

    Aero-Optimised Downtube

    Maintain speed with a downtube shaped to work with your bottle, not against it. The flared lower section improves airflow while increasing stiffness around the bottom bracket for efficient power transfer under load.

  • Integrated Cockpit

    Integrated Cockpit

    A fully integrated cockpit keeps airflow uninterrupted across the front of the bike. The RI-2 carbon bar and stem hides every cable while creating a stiff, aerodynamic platform built for speed.

  • Aero Rear-End Design

    Aero Rear-End Design

    Reduce drag across the rear of the bike with a truncated airfoil seat tube and aerodynamically shaped seat stays that closely follow the rear wheel. This design smooths airflow behind the rider while maintaining excellent lateral stiffness.

  • An Aero Obsession

    An Aero Obsession

    Watt-saving gains achieved across all areas of the frameset, the ULTRA-AERO SL R has been optimised to perform in real-world conditions, specifically around 5-10° of YAW, to simulate the crosswinds commonly experienced by a cyclist. Every aspect of this pioneering aero bike is engineered to slice through the air with class-leading efficiency and scalpel-like precision.
