Product Description
2026 BOARDMAN SLR 8.9 CARBON RACE ROAD BIKE
Aerodynamic Speed. Carbon Precision. Endurance Comfort.
The 2026 Boardman SLR 8.9 Carbon is a high-performance road race bike engineered to deliver all-day speed, climbing agility, and smooth compliance across unpredictable road surfaces. Built around a lightweight C7 high-modulus carbon frameset, this refined race machine features wind-tunnel-tested tube shapes that cut through drag while dampening harsh road vibrations to preserve rider energy. Paired with reliable hydraulic disc braking, wide tubeless-ready tires, and hidden mudguard compatibility, it offers an exceptional balance of aerodynamic efficiency, year-round versatility, and sharp, responsive handling whether you are attacking local crits or tackling long weekend sportives.
Product Highlights
Lightweight C7 Carbon: High-modulus carbon fiber frame and fork engineered to deliver an incredibly responsive, compliant, and lightweight ride (approx. 9.4 kg overall weight).
Shimano Tiagra Hydraulic Discs: Superior, consistent stopping power and fine braking modulation for complete control in both wet and dry weather conditions.
All-Season Ready: Designed with hidden mudguard mounts and generous tire clearance, allowing for smooth transitions between summer race and winter training setups.
Tubeless-Ready Wheelset: Fitted with Goodyear Eagle Sport 30mm tires to deliver enhanced cornering grip, superior vibration absorption, and improved puncture resistance.
Aerodynamic Design: Wind-tunnel-informed tube profiles paired with integrated cable routing to minimize aerodynamic drag and maximize pedaling efficiency.
