The Fenix is reborn. With a revamped frame that's 15% lighter and 8% stiffer than its predecessor, the SL blurs the lines between race bike and endurance bike like no other. A uniquely layered carbon fibre frame creates a responsive, comfortable ride. On high-spirited KOM attempts or finish line sprints, the tapered headtube and massive pressfit BB create a direct transfer between you and the road. Detour onto logging roads, and the Fenix's endurance roots come alive. When descending rough backroads, the flattened chainstays and tire clearance (up to 30mm) offer a compliant ride without sacrificing race-ready stiffness. Equipped with one of the best gruppos around, it gets a reliable, responsive and impossibly cool, 11-speed Shimano Ultegra Di2 shift setup that sets the standard for electronic shifting performance. When coming in hot to technical hairpins, the Ultegra brakes produce a confidence-inspiring balance catch-free power and nuanced modulation. Details make a bike special, so Ridley opted to adorn the Fenix with a host of proven 4ZA aluminum components to tie this sick ride together.
