Blue AC1 SL Aero Road Bike with Shimano 105
Utilising T1000/T800 high modulus carbon, the AC1 SL boasts advancements over the AC1 in both a stiffer and lighter frame. Building on an already great product, the improved stiffness makes power transfer that much more effective again.
The AC1 SL Aero Carbon Road Bike is a beautifully aerodynamic frame with a huge amount of technology courtesy of a team of top aerodynamicists over at Blue Competition Cycles in Atlanta. A neatly curved blend from the head tube into the down tube continues with a slender cutout for the front wheel and the key aero feature on this frame - the reverse teardrop shaped tube. The AC1 SL's aerodynamics don't stop there though; just take a look at that beautifully curved seat post with hugs the rear wheel for maximum airflow efficiency.
There's an impressive level of attention to detail to be found all over this bike and a fine example of that is the internal cable routing which eliminates that annoying blind searching for cables! The solid bottom bracket area is strong enough to ensure every muscle driven stroke of the pedals is delivered to the wheels with maximum effect.
Despite it's killer TT looks, this bike is actually UCI legal with a full build weighing in at 15.2lbs (UCI minimum limit is 15.0lbs!) and works amazingly in a range of environments from triathlons to road races to criteriums.
This Shimano 105 build is a true 105 build, keeping the quality all the way from the gearing to the brakes.
