Product Description
2026 BOARDMAN SLR 9.8 CARBON RACE ROAD BIKE
The Pinnacle of Performance. SRAM Red AXS. Zipp 404 Firecrest.
The 2026 Boardman SLR 9.8 Carbon is the pinnacle of Boardman's road racing lineup, engineered for riders who demand uncompromising speed, featherweight climbing agility, and world-class aerodynamic efficiency. Built around a top-tier C10 high-modulus carbon frameset weighing a mere 8.0 kg, this flagship superbike translates every watt of pedaling force into immediate acceleration while filtering out harsh road vibrations. Outfitted with SRAM's ultra-lightweight Red AXS wireless electronic groupset, iconic Zipp 404 Firecrest deep-section carbon wheels, and a fully integrated aero cockpit, it delivers a silent, lightning-fast, and aerodynamically optimized ride designed to conquer pro-level breakaways, alpine passes, and sprint finishes alike.
Flagship Performance Highlights
Elite C10 Carbon Layup: Boardman's highest-grade carbon fiber engineered for maximum power transfer, structural stiffness, and a featherweight overall build (Approx. 8.0 kg).
SRAM Red AXS E1 Wireless Drivetrain: The gold standard of electronic shifting—completely wireless, exceptionally lightweight, and lightning-fast gear changes at your fingertips.
Zipp 404 Firecrest Carbon Wheels: Professional-grade deep-section carbon wheels designed for maximum aerodynamic efficiency, speed retention, and stability in crosswinds.
Integrated Aero Cockpit: The SLR ICR stem system hides all cables completely from the wind, delivering a sleek aesthetic and significant watt savings at speed.
Superior Ride Quality: 30mm Goodyear Eagle F1 R tubeless-ready tires offering the ideal blend of professional-grade low rolling resistance and all-day comfort.

One Bike for Everything
The Boardman SLR 9.8 Carbon defies the need for multiple bikes. It is light enough to dance up the steepest alpine passes, aero enough to hold a breakaway on the flats, and robust enough to be ridden through a British winter thanks to its hidden mudguard mounts. This is the ultimate expression of the Boardman philosophy: world-class performance without compromise.
