The ultimate lightweight frame
“Carlos Sastre’s choice and winner of the 2008 Tour de France.” The R3sl is the even lighter version of the R3, without sacrificing anything in stiffness, strength or comfort. With roughly 300 pieces in varying shapes, with different fiber angles and using four different types of carbon (some focused on stiffness, some on strength), the effort to find ways to squeeze more stiffness and strength out of less material never ends, and the R3sl represents the current high-water mark in the industry.Upgrades from R3
Lighter frame - We don’t like to talk about weights, as many other manufacturers have made a mockery of it with outlandish claims. If weight is important to you, ignore claimed weights, have your retailer weigh the frames and see how light the R3SL is compared to its competitors in the real world.
