The original SLR 8.9 Carbon was our most popular carbon road bike, and for good reason. We think the light, stiff and comfortable carbon frame designed with aerodynamic tube profiles and features is a perfect platform for all-round road riding, and the reviewers agreed with us. For most bike brands, 4.5 out of 5 reviews and comments like “Blimey, what a corker!” (road.cc) would be a reason to kick back and celebrate a job well done. However, at Boardman, we are always looking for ways we can push our bikes to the next level, and this is what we have done for the new SLR 8.9 Carbon.One of the only criticisms we could level at the old bike was the 10 speed gears – functional, but a little heavy and unrefined. With that in mind, we’ve upgraded the shifting to Shimano’s 11 speed R7000 105. Offering smooth gear changes, reduced weight, ergonomic design and all the trickle-down technology from Shimano’s flagship Dura-Ace groupset, 105 is a fantastic performer.Not only have we upgraded the bike’s gearing – but we’ve also worked with expert bike fitters to ensure the touchpoints on the bike are going to suit riders even better than before.FRAMESET:The new SLR 8.9c frame and fork use the same aerodynamic design and geometry as the top of the range SLR 9.6 and so delivers outstanding performance. The dropped seat stays and an integrated seat clamp help reduce drag and combine with carefully designed carbon fibre layup to deliver all day long comfort. This isn’t achieved at the expense of speed though. Using CFD and wind tunnel testing, our tube profiles deliver a significant aero boost compared to previous frames, and a stiff bottom bracket and light overall weight mean that the bike responds instantly when you put the power down. With clearance for up to 28mm tyres and hidden mudguard mounts, the SLR 8.9 Carbon can turn its hand to any type of road riding, whatever the weather.CONTACT POINTS:Working with Chris Boardman, data from hundreds of bike fits and insight from bike fit experts, we have made simple changes to the contact points of the SLR range. Using advanced pressure mapping and real-world testing we’ve shown that the Boardman SLR saddle will provide long-ride comfort for the majority of people. Bar width and crank length are also reduced vs previous bikes to make sure they are suited to the fit needs of real cyclists, not just based on old traditions. These changes also reduce the rider’s frontal area, which has been wind tunnel tested to reduce drag, meaning less effort required for the same speed.Key Features: Shimano 105 11 speed shifters and derailleurs ensure crisp and easy gear changes, A compact 50/34 chainset with 11-30 cassette offers a wide spread of gears for climbing and descending, Vittoria Zaffiro Pro Graphene 2.0 tyres combine great grip with puncture protection and low rolling resistance, Boardman SLR Wheels are tubeless-ready, so can be easily upgraded to run without tubes, Tektro R315 long drop brakes give clearance for up to 28mm tyres, or to run mudguards with 25mm.

The SLR 8.6W is our entry-level women's road bike – but that’s not to say that it’s a basic machine. With a hidden weld aluminium frame, a full carbon fork, and Shimano’s slick-shifting Claris gears, this is a bike which delivers market-leading performance without breaking the bank.The 6061 alloy frame is triple-butted which ensures a stiff and efficient ride without adding weight. With dropped seat stays and the carbon fork, there’s still plenty of comfort on offer too. Complementing the light-weight frame and fork, a compact 50-34 tooth chainset and 11-32 tooth cassette give an easy bottom gear for climbing, and the high-quality Vittoria Zaffiro tyres balance grip, rolling resistance and puncture protection when heading down the other side.Deep drop Tektro brakes allow clearance for up to 28mm* tyres, and mudguard and pannier rack mounts add practicality and year-round usability.Contact Points:Working with Chris Boardman, data from hundreds of bike fits and insight from bike fit experts, we have made simple changes to the contact points of the SLR range. Using advanced pressure mapping and real-world testing we’ve shown that the Boardman SLR Women's saddle will provide long-ride comfort for the majority of people. Bar width and crank length are also reduced vs previous bikes to make sure they are suited to the fit needs of real cyclists, with a female-specific saddle, and stem, handlebar and crank sizes scaled to suit female riders. These changes also reduce the rider’s frontal area, which has been wind tunnel tested to reduce drag, meaning less effort required for the same speed.Key Features:Lightweight Triple-Butted Aluminium frame and full carbon fork offer a fast but comfortable ride,Shimano Claris 8 speed shifters and derailleurs give reliable and smooth gear changes,A compact 50/34 chainset and 11-32 cassette gives a wide spread of gears for climbing and descending,Vittoria Zaffiro tyres deliver great puncture protection, grip and low rolling resistance Boardman SLR Wheels are tubeless-ready, so can be easily upgraded to run without tubes,Mudguard and pannier rack mounts offer an extra dose of year-round practicality. ,*tyre clearance is 25mm with mudguards fitted..

The SLR range is the perfect all-around road platform. They feature a lightweight frame design and carbon lay up which offers a fantastic blend of power transfer and comfort and has been aero-optimised to deliver race-winning speed. This is combined with a geometry that encourages long days of exploration without sitting up tall in the wind.The SLR 9.4 adds SRAM's new Rival eTap AXS 12 speed wireless shifting to our high-modulus C10 Carbon frameset, bringing outstanding shifting performance to a new, lower price point.FRAMESET:In most situations, aerodynamic drag limits a rider’s speed rather than fighting gravity. The SLR frameset is optimised for aerodynamic performance without adding weight or compromising the ride quality. Our wind-tunnel proven tube profiles minimise the separation of airflow, resulting in lower aerodynamic drag.The SLR’s geometry strikes a balance between a long and low race position and an upright, endurance set up. The frame itself has been designed with comfort in mind; thin, dropped seat stays and a slim-legged fork absorb road imperfections without compromising on the lateral stiffness required to corner quickly and confidently.The SLR focuses on efficiency. Using our C10 carbon fibre blend, high-modulus fibres are used in key areas to increase the strength to weight ratio. Deep, box-section chainstays, an oversized bottom bracket and dropped seat stays combine in a compact, stiff rear triangle, maximising power transfer.With 28mm tyres and hidden mudguard mounts, the SLR 9 Series bikes are also practical for year-round riding too.COMPONENTS:SRAM's new Rival eTap AXS is the star of the show on the SLR 9.4. Using the same wireless shifting technology and 12 speeds as their pro-level Red groupset, gear changes are precise and consistent, all at the push of a button. With no shift cables to worry about, there's minimal maintenance to do, meaning shifting stays perfect all year round.Gear ratios are different to traditional road bikes because of the huge range offered by the 10-30t cassette. The 10t cog with smaller 46/33t chainrings gives a larger top gear and smaller bottom gear vs a compact 50/34t chainset. All this range comes with smaller jumps between gears too because of the extra 12th gear. With powerful hydraulic disc brakes with 160mm front and 140mm rear rotors, stopping is easy in all weather conditions too.Battery life is around 60 hours of riding, and recharge time is only an hour. If you do forget to charge up, you can swap the batteries between the front and rear derailleurs to get you back home easily.Wheels and tyres make a huge difference to how a bike feels to ride, and Alexrims RXD3 wheels with Vittoria Rubino Pro 28mm tyres are another highlight on the 9.4. The wheels use 30mm deep rims with 19mm internal width to support the Graphene 2.0 infused tyres, offering a great blend of low weight, fast acceleration, grip and aerodynamic performance. The wheels weigh only 1550g and are tubeless-ready if you want to upgrade down the line.CONTACT POINTS:Working with Chris Boardman, data from hundreds of bike fits and insight from bike fit experts, we have made simple changes to the contact points of the SLR range.

THE LIGHTEST AND MOST CAPABLE RACING BIKEPerformance, technology and style have always been cornerstones of cycling. We may not compete but we love the feel of a racing bike – an Orca that is light, fast and beautiful. Professional athletes, weekend warriors, Strava hunters and recreational riders all have similar aspirations – we love the machine as much as the lifestyle.Anyone can benefit from a smoother ride, the most advanced engineering and aerodynamic advantages, even if the technical aspects are elusive. We ambition the integration of the steering and components of subtle lines, as well as connectivity with various devices. In order to ensure flexibility and performance, we increased the wheel arches to fit different tire widths. We offer the widest range of ergonomics. Compact or height handlebars, in different widths, as well as the possibility of choosing the length of the stem, because not all of us are looking for the same position: we want the fastest bike for our pedaling style. Orca is a custom, modern and capable competition bike with which you can ride the way you like best.
Grab your Avant and fill your bottles before rolling out on your afternoon ride. No other machine can better help you enjoy the exhilaration of road cycling. The speed, freedom and the views offered by quiet roads are all included free with every Avant - and you love it. The new Avant receives the same level of design attention as our carbon frames - The tubes are butted and hydroformed with smooth, polished welds to match the dramatic look of the monocoque frame. Internal Cable Routing is carefully guided along the best path under the stem and through the head tube, with no rub or rattle, and is optimized for both traditional and electronic shifting systems. Proprietary headset spacers smooth airflow and offer easy adjustment.
