Critically acclaimed for its balance of speed and comfort, the first generation of SLR 8.6 has been a trusted companion for many riders and bred with the DNA of the range-topping 9 series it built a reputation of delivering outstanding performance at a wallet-friendly price. For 2021 the SLR 8.6 gets a facelift as well as a top-to-bottom review to ensure it is the perfect bike to help you find a passion for road cycling.

 

The new Boardman SLR 8.6 Road Bike uses a redesigned, triple butted 6061 aluminium frame evolved from the first generation SLR 8.6 and 8.8, featuring aero tube profiles and endurance geometry. The curved, dropped seatstays in particular not only provide more comfort but give the bike a purposeful look. Full carbon forks save weight and also vitally reduce vibrations, giving increased comfort and increased confidence to push on and start to better your times with every ride. Riders loved the drivetrain on the previous SLR 8.6 because of its great gearing range - this has been updated and increased so whatever may lie on your route, you’ll have the gears to beat the challenge.

Finally, 25mm Vittoria Zaffiro tyres have been selected as they’re grippy, comfortable and fast but also puncture-resistant meaning you can put in the miles and give your full focus to the ride.
