Cavalo Carbon Ultegra Road Bike Bikes & Frames Racing Bikes

Cavalo Carbon Ultegra Road Bike. The Cavalo Carbon Ultegra Road Bike is new for 2017 and features an exquisite carbon fiber frame and fork, Shimano Ultegra 6800 11 speed componentry, Shimano wheels, as well as Ritchey handlebars, stem, and seatpost. It's a race worthy bike right out of the box and this well crafted thoroughbred eagerly awaits you to push it to the limits over hill and dale on your favorite road rides. At its heart is a C5 high modulus carbon fiber frame for an ideal combination of stiffness, light weight, and comfort in an all around competition grade road platform. The C5 carbon weaving process translates into a frame that is incredibly stiff without adding unnecessary weight. The carbon frame features a BB86 bottom bracket for added stiffness and weight savings while the oversized chainstays and minimalist seatstays ensure a stiff platform for climbing and sprinting as well as comfort throughout long days in the saddle. The full carbon fiber fork, with a 1 18 1 12 taper steerer, is lightweight and ensures responsive, predictable handling. Shimano's Ultegra 6800 11 speed components are spec'd for the shiftbrake levers, derailleurs, crankset, bottom bracket, and brakes and this renowned mechanical groupset features an amazing amount of trickle down functionality, precision, and reliability from the flagship Dura Ace line up. The shifting is just flawless while the mid compact 5236T crankset coupled with an 11 28T Shimano 105 cassette strikes an optimal balance for gear ratios to handle steep ascents, steep descents, as well as flatter roads with equal aplomb. Additionally, there's the ever reliable Shimano RS010 aluminum wheelset featuring 24mm deep rims and 2024 spoke wheels frontrear paired with Vittoria Zaffiro 700x25 tires for all around, smooth rolling performance. The Shimano Ultegra dual pivot brakes provide incredible stopping power while rock solid Ritchey aluminum components are includes for the handlebars, stem, and seatpost.
