If you want to go like a rocket up your local climbs; our Rocket SL bike could be the answer to your prayers. There is a balance to be made in designing a lightweight road bike, it has to be light but it also has to be stiff to transfer your power, and it would be nice if it could also be comfortable for a full day in the saddle.
This was what we tasked our engineers with, and they came back with a high-quality frameset made from Toray T700 carbon fibre. We have a fitted a stiff chainstays and downtube which are mated together through a stiff BB86 bottom bracket area and finished with a tapered headset. The top tube and seat tubes are specially sculpted to kill road buzz and be lightweight. Through all of this, we have added internal cable routing.
We have shod the frame with our carbon fibre wheels. Our 38mm deep carbon rims are fitted to Powerway R13 hubs. Featuring sealed bearing, these hubs are designed to be reliable. These wheels will get you and down as quickly and as efficiently as possible. To go with our carbon fibre wheels, we have fitted our own carbon fibre finishing kit; now you won’t need to upgrade your off the shelf bike.
To finish the bike off, we have fitted an SRAM Force 22 groupset. Force is the perfect meeting point between weight, reliability, and cost. This helps us to bring you the Rocket SL at a price you honestly won’t believe.
