More About The New Boardman SLR 8.9c Road Bike

Full Shimano 105 disc groupset
Shimano 105 R7020 doesn’t just look great it also performs brilliantly giving swift and sure shifting with a light touch. The integrated levers are ergonomically designed for general comfort with chamfered tops meaning your grip is assured even when it’s hot and sweaty. The 105 50-34T crankset and Shimano bottom bracket transmit power to the 11-30T cassette to give a good range for UK and Irish conditions. This set up is complete with Shimano 105 flat mount Hydraulic disc brakes which deliver fuss-free, powerful stopping meaning you’ll feel in complete control in all weather conditions.
 
Impressive Carbon frame and forks
The SLR 8.9c uses the same aero tube profiles and geometry as the top of the range SLR 9.6, with our C7 carbon being used in both frame and fork. The frame is designed to combine great stiffness and ride quality whilst the aero tube profiles give riders more speed for the same effort. Features such as the integrated seat clamp reduce drag, whilst dropped seat stays and the full carbon fork help maintain comfort. The stiff, oversized PF86 bottom bracket area means that the bike responds instantly when you put the power down.

They’ve worked to develop a range of saddles using advanced pressure mapping and real-world testing to make sure any saddle on a Boardman bike is going to suit the majority of people riding it.
