An updated version of the National Championship winning TR2.
An aero track bike frame that still features the trademark TR2 dropped headtube but adds an adjustable stem to make it more practical. There is also now a headtube fairing to maximise aero advantage.
Frame is super stiff to maximise power transfer for even the strongest of track riders.
Frame comes with an adjustable stem in 75mm, 90mm, 105mm or 120mm lengths, which has a range of +17 degrees to -13 degrees.
Frame also comes with 40cm long aero seatpost.
Bottom bracket is BSA.
The TR2evo is only available made to order and so can be custom painted to your design.

Testimonials
"It is the stiffest bike I've ridden, without a doubt. Without trying to use the cliches of every bike review, it's just a weapon. I was really impressed with the quality of the frame's manufacture and it's up there with the Pinarello quality control judging by eye."
"I was looking for a high-performance road bike for amateur races and triathlons, but also for club rides and blasting around the local lanes. I just don’t get how they made A1R0evo so stiff and responsive, but also so comfortable. I went for 28c tyres and the bike ploughs through road debris and potholes. The ride is assured and comes alive when you’re going full gas.”
"I have finally today finished building my Handsling. I’m just back from its first ride.
And WOW. What a great bike. So smooth yet fast and stiff. Can’t wait to get out and ride it some more over the weekend. You really have designed a great bike here."
"As I say blown away with how it rides. It rides as well maybe even slightly better than my S works tarmac haha."
"I am blown away by the performance of the bike in all situations flats, descents, acceleration and even more astonished by the improvement in my climbing. So much so that friends are now questioning what has happened to their performance! In total transparency I tell them “it’s not me, it’s the bike”."
"I got out on it tonight, what a machine. Many thanks."
"Still loving the bike! Had my first tubeless puncture today and it seems to have sealed fine so that's great."
"Just wanted to follow up now that it's been almost six months since I received the A1R0evo. The weather is starting to turn for the better and I have been able to get out and ride more consistently with the earlier sunrises. The new bike rides great! I've been having a blast and riding much faster on my solo training rides which the new rig. I am very pleased indeed."
"I LOVE LOVE LOVE the wheels! They are super fast and very comfortable. I got the deep combo 50mm/55mm wheels with tubeless tyres."
"In non Corona news... It's finally dry enough to crack out my new bike properly, and it's excellent!"

Testimonials
"It is the stiffest bike I've ridden, without a doubt. Without trying to use the cliches of every bike review, it's just a weapon. I was really impressed with the quality of the frame's manufacture and it's up there with the Pinarello quality control judging by eye."
"I was looking for a high-performance road bike for amateur races and triathlons, but also for club rides and blasting around the local lanes. I just don’t get how they made A1R0evo so stiff and responsive, but also so comfortable. I went for 28c tyres and the bike ploughs through road debris and potholes. The ride is assured and comes alive when you’re going full gas.”
"I have finally today finished building my Handsling. I’m just back from its first ride.
And WOW. What a great bike. So smooth yet fast and stiff. Can’t wait to get out and ride it some more over the weekend. You really have designed a great bike here."
"As I say blown away with how it rides. It rides as well maybe even slightly better than my S works tarmac haha."
"I am blown away by the performance of the bike in all situations flats, descents, acceleration and even more astonished by the improvement in my climbing. So much so that friends are now questioning what has happened to their performance! In total transparency I tell them “it’s not me, it’s the bike”."
"I got out on it tonight, what a machine. Many thanks."
"Still loving the bike! Had my first tubeless puncture today and it seems to have sealed fine so that's great."
"Just wanted to follow up now that it's been almost six months since I received the A1R0evo. The weather is starting to turn for the better and I have been able to get out and ride more consistently with the earlier sunrises. The new bike rides great! I've been having a blast and riding much faster on my solo training rides which the new rig. I am very pleased indeed."
"I LOVE LOVE LOVE the wheels! They are super fast and very comfortable. I got the deep combo 50mm/55mm wheels with tubeless tyres."
"In non Corona news... It's finally dry enough to crack out my new bike properly, and it's excellent!"

Handsling CEXevo cyclocross gravel frame - Purple
Regular price £1,399.00
Tax included.
The first of our in-house designed frames is the CEXevo cyclocross gravel frame.
While designed to win at 'cross, we sell more of these frames as do-it-all gravel frames, where it excels if your thing is going fast off-road. Having said that it also makes a great fat tyred road bike...
Evolution
The CEXevo is an evolution of the race and championship winning CEX frame. We wanted to make small improvements to improve performance so looked to improve the material we used to build it, the frame weight, frame stiffness, the mud clearance of the frame and the comfort levels.
Material
The CEXevo is made from Toray 800 series carbon to reduce the weight so is now a better climber, easier to carry over obstacles and to run with when the going gets really tough.
Frame Weight
Frame weight is 870g for a 52cm frame and 370g for the front fork.
Stiffness
Though lighter, it has lost none of the stiffness of the race winning CEX it replaces. We have added extra carbon where the frame needs it the most.
15mm front and 12mm rear thru axles mean the CEXevo is rock solid under hard efforts making climbing a breeze. We thought about going to 12mm for the front thru axle but there are good engineering reasons behind sticking with 15mm for off-road applications. It is stronger, stiffer, and makes use of the common bearing size used on most front hubs. Once you try it, you'll understand. It just works.
It is a stiff frame - all of your power will definitely go towards forward motion - but it is also a tough frame, well suited to the rigours of cyclocross racing and fast gravel riding.
Mud Clearance
The Handsling CEXevo has no rear seatstay bridge to give even better mud clearance. With 32 or 33mm cyclocross tyres on there is plenty of clearance to cope with even the muddiest of days. The CEXevo will even take up to 45mm tyres and so makes a great gravel bike and beach racer.
Comfort Levels
One benefit of removing the rear brake bridge is that we have vastly improved comfort levels of the CEXevo and increased comfort leaves you fresher for that final sprint to the finish line.
The other area this benefits is in rear wheel traction on loose ground. Its harder to quantify but it is there.
Handling
The Handsling CEXevo offers super stable handling to carry you faster, with more confidence, down descents and yet still climbs with all the speed you need.
The relaxed geometry gives it the stability and gives you extra confidence, making it a doddle to ride fast.
Paired with our 30mm wide, 40mm deep hookless tubeless wheels or our off-set tubeless wheels this builds up into a race ready bike that is light and quick but also super comfortable like never before.
Geometry
Complete bike builds are available with varied specs to match your requirements. Example complete bike build prices are available here, though most customers go for a custom spec. Email simon@handslingbikes.com for a quote.

The other area this benefits is in rear wheel traction on loose ground. Its harder to quantify but it is there.
Handling
The Handsling CEXevo offers super stable handling to carry you faster, with more confidence, down descents and yet still climbs with all the speed you need.
The relaxed geometry gives it the stability and gives you extra confidence, making it a doddle to ride fast.
Paired with our 30mm wide, 40mm deep hookless tubeless wheels or our off-set tubeless wheels this builds up into a race ready bike that is light and quick but also super comfortable like never before.
Geometry
Complete bike builds are available with varied specs to match your requirements. Example complete bike build prices are available here, though most customers go for a custom spec. Email simon@handslingbikes.com for a quote.

Testimonials
"It is the stiffest bike I've ridden, without a doubt. Without trying to use the cliches of every bike review, it's just a weapon. I was really impressed with the quality of the frame's manufacture and it's up there with the Pinarello quality control judging by eye."
"I was looking for a high-performance road bike for amateur races and triathlons, but also for club rides and blasting around the local lanes. I just don’t get how they made A1R0evo so stiff and responsive, but also so comfortable. I went for 28c tyres and the bike ploughs through road debris and potholes. The ride is assured and comes alive when you’re going full gas.”
"I have finally today finished building my Handsling. I’m just back from its first ride.
And WOW. What a great bike. So smooth yet fast and stiff. Can’t wait to get out and ride it some more over the weekend. You really have designed a great bike here."
"As I say blown away with how it rides. It rides as well maybe even slightly better than my S works tarmac haha."
"I am blown away by the performance of the bike in all situations flats, descents, acceleration and even more astonished by the improvement in my climbing. So much so that friends are now questioning what has happened to their performance! In total transparency I tell them “it’s not me, it’s the bike”."
"I got out on it tonight, what a machine. Many thanks."
"Still loving the bike! Had my first tubeless puncture today and it seems to have sealed fine so that's great."
"Just wanted to follow up now that it's been almost six months since I received the A1R0evo. The weather is starting to turn for the better and I have been able to get out and ride more consistently with the earlier sunrises. The new bike rides great! I've been having a blast and riding much faster on my solo training rides which the new rig. I am very pleased indeed."
"I LOVE LOVE LOVE the wheels! They are super fast and very comfortable. I got the deep combo 50mm/55mm wheels with tubeless tyres."
"In non Corona news... It's finally dry enough to crack out my new bike properly, and it's excellent!"
