Ultimate CF SLX 9.0 LTD EPS

"Racer of the year 2013" (Le Cycle), "Racer of the month" (Vélo Magazine), "Outstanding rating" (Pro Cycling), "Superb" (Road Bike), "Incredible score – test winner" (TOUR). The Ultimate CF SLX has to be one of the best carbon fibre frames in the world. The frame weighs in at just 790 g, setting new standards with its combination of weight, stiffness, comfort and design, its fantastic ride characteristics and its razor sharp handling. This carbon fibre racer has an eye-catching rear triangle with sophisticated VCLS seat stays. There is a direct connection between the seat stays and the top tube, giving the entire rear triangle extreme lateral stiffness. The top tube and new Maximus seat tube are also flattened for greater comfort. The interaction between the stiffer Press-Fit bottom bracket and the asymmetrical chain stays creates supreme performance and incredible comfort. Comfort is further boosted by the next-generation One One Four SLX fork. This race fork with carbon-fibre dropouts has extreme lateral stiffness and VCLS technology to absorb hard knocks and vibrations. This protects your muscles and joints, saving valuable energy for the final sprint. All models can be upgraded with the VCLS Post 2.0 as an option. The 100% maintenance free VCLS Post weighs just 220 g and is available in two versions: The straight version gives a setback of 2 mm or -10 mm (+2 mm to -10 mm). The angled version gives a setback of +25 mm or +13 mm. This means riders of all shapes and sizes can find the right position. Combined with tried and tested VCLS technology in the super lightweight carbon fibre frame, the result is supreme comfort and performance.
