Introduction

Faster, more versatile, and better value than ever, the new Boardman SLR is built for all-out performance. Aero-optimised for breakaway speed and designed for ultra-distance comfort, it features 36mm tyre clearance (32mm with guards) for all-season capability.

Whether you're racing, training, or tackling long miles, the SLR is engineered to deliver - whatever the road, whatever the season.

Frame & Fork

Constructed from Boardman's C7 grade carbon fibre, the SLR maintains the comfort and compliance that made its predecessor so well-regarded, offering a smooth and engaging ride mile after mile.

The SLR carbon frame now has increased bottle and storage capacity, utilises SRAM's Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) standard, and features hidden mounts for full-length guards. These design improvements allow you to securely carry everything you need for longer rides, ensure hassle-free hanger replacements and makes switching to a wet weather setup simple and painless.

Groupset

This SLR 8.9 features Shimano's Tiagra 4700 groupset, offering a smooth 10-speed drivetrain for reliable and precise shifting. With a compact crankset and wide gear range, it provides the perfect gear range for climbing, descending and everything in between.

Tiagra hydraulic disc brakes give the rider powerful and consistent braking performance in all weathers.

Wheels & Tyres

The SLR 8.9 rolls on the SLR Alloy wheelset and features 12mm through axle hubs, Sapin Race double butted spokes and tubeless compatible rims, optimised for wider road tyres.

Goodyear's Eagle Sports are a high-performance, all-around road tyre that offer excellent grip and durability. Their advanced construction ensures great precision and control for every turn, making them an economical choice for daily use.

Finishing Kit & Upgrades

Flared Alloy handlebars allow for optimal ergonomic hand position, more control while in the drops due to increased width, and a narrower frontal area while on the hoods.

Comfort is key whether you're hours into a sportive or just out for a quick after work spin. The Boardman Road saddle features a pressure relief channel and provides the right balance of comfort and firmness for an effective pedalling platform.
