The C10 carbon frame uses a carefully tuned lay-up with high-modulus fibres in key areas to maximise stiffness where it helps most. Aero-optimised tube shapes, proven in the wind tunnel, work to keep airflow attached for reduced drag without adding unnecessary weight.Its geometry strikes a thoughtful balance, offering a low, efficient position for quicker riding while still remaining comfortable on longer days. Thin, dropped seat stays and a slim-legged carbon fork help absorb vibrations, smoothing out rougher roads and keeping you fresher for longer efforts. Hidden mudguard mounts and generous 28mm tyre clearance add useful year-round practicality.Shimano’s latest Ultegra Di2 R8100 series groupset delivers clean, accurate and fully electronic shifting. Wireless shifters create an uncluttered cockpit, and the 50/34 chainset paired with an 11–30 cassette gives a wide spread of gears for climbing, steady cruising and fast descending. The Ultegra R8170 hydraulic brakes provide controlled, confidence-inspiring stopping power thanks to RT-MT800 rotors and improved modulation.Rolling performance comes from the Alexrims ALX845D wheelset with 45mm deep carbon rims. Their U-shaped profile balances low drag with stability in crosswinds, helping the bike feel composed at speed. They’re paired with Vittoria Corsa Graphene 2.0 tyres in 28mm width—renowned for their low rolling resistance, supple feel and dependable cornering grip.Contact points have been developed using fit data and real-world testing led by Chris Boardman. The SLR saddle uses pressure relief shaping for long-ride comfort, while updated bar widths and crank lengths help suit a wider range of riders. These refinements also reduce frontal area, supporting improved aerodynamics without compromising comfort.With its blend of efficiency, stability and long-ride comfort, the SLR 9.6 is an excellent choice for fast group rides, endurance miles or event-day efforts. Lightweight, aerodynamic and practical enough for varied UK road conditions, it delivers a rewarding ride wherever the route takes you.
