Nashbar Carbon Ultegra Road Bike Bikes & Frames Racing Bikes

Nashbar Carbon Ultegra Road Bike. New for 2017, the Nashbar Carbon Ultegra Road Bike is one lightweight rocket ship that provides everything you need to excel on the tarmac be it races, fondos, spirited group rides, or just solo sessions on your favorite routes. At its heart is a C5 high modulus carbon fiber frame for an ideal combination of performance 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 carbon fiber fork, with a 1 18 1 12 taper alloy steerer, is lightweight and ensures responsive, predictable handling. Shimano's renowned Ultegra 6800 components are spec'd where they count at the shiftbrake levers and frontrear derailleurs which guarantees flawless shifting and pro level performance. A FSA Gossamer mid compact crankset with 5236 chainrings combined with a Shimano 105 5800 11 28T cassette strikes an optimal balance for gear ratios to handle steep ascents, steep descents, as well as flatter roads with equal aplomb. Vuelta Zerolite Comp wheels are reliable, all around performers and the Shimano R561 dual pivot brakes provide confident, well modulated stopping power.
