Handsling TSTRevo
'TSTRevo (pronounced TESTER-evo)'
Handsling has spent the past year developing the TSTRevo, a dedicated speed machine designed to help riders slice through the air in time-trials and triathlons. A tester is a traditional term for a cyclist competing in solo events against the clock.
The frame is UCI-approved and utilises cutting edge aerodynamics. Every tube profile is aerodynamically optimised to help set that new personal best time.
The quest for speed is aided by a bespoke, fully adjustable, carbon time trial bar helping riders to reduce their frontal area and further cheat the wind.
Importantly, despite its aerodynamic shape, the frame still has exceptional stiffness, so that every watt of rider power is directed into forward motion.

The TSTRevo is the definition of a modern time trial machine. Its sleek aero profile and super-stiff carbon layup optimise every watt of power, yet it offers so much more than pure speed; the bike is stable and grounded, with the added confidence of disc brakes. Its modern geometry and adjustable cockpit allows you to achieve your optimum position. With the ability to fit up to 32mm tyres, it soaks up road vibrations, enabling you to focus on saving those vital seconds.
Manufacture
- Manufactured using Toray T800, one of the most high-performance carbons on the market.
- Internal EPS moulds result in increased carbon compaction to make the frame tougher, lighter and stiffer.
- Carbon layup provides massively stiff headtube, downtube, bottom bracket shell, and chainstays for efficient power transfer.
- Handsling controls all aspect of production and owns the moulds used to manufacturer the frames.
- Rigorous testing procedures surpass ISO standards.
Design
- Designed 100% in-house and engineered by one of the best in the business.
- Integrated hidden cables provides aerodynamic efficiency.
- Tube profiles are aerodynamic in real world conditions, no matter the wind direction.
- Clearance for 32mm tyres to combine race-winning performance with enhanced comfort.
- Short head tube enables a low aggressive position.
- Steep seat tube angle places the rider further over the bottom bracket for pedalling efficiency.
- Low slung base bar for aero efficiency and fully-adjustable cockpit.
- Designed to accommodate modern wireless electronic disc-brake groupsets.
- BSA external threaded bottom bracket.
Bike Customisation
- Choose your colour from a wide range of options.
- Available with a choice of disc and spoked wheels.
- Bikes assembled in Handsling’s UK workshop according to rider size and spec.

Design and Production
- Designed 100% in-house and engineered by one of the best in the business.
- Manufactured using Toray T800 carbon, one of the strongest, toughest carbons on the market
- Frame is designed for constant use and to take knocks
- Internal EPS internal moulds used for increased carbon compaction to make the frame tougher, lighter, and stiffer
- Rigorous, destructive testing procedure to surpass ISO standards
- Weight 920g matte UD carbon frame and 350g uncut fork (size 52cm)
Stiffness
- Downtube flairs out to the full width of the BB86 bottom bracket
- Hourglass head tube is massively stiff and oversized, yet still aero
- Fork and chainstays are asymmetric in design to withstand twisting forces
- 12mm thru axles further enhance frame and wheel stiffness
- Stiff yet aero hourglass headtube resists twisting forces under hard efforts
- Asymmetric fork to counter twisting forces of hard-braking with disc brakes, creating a more stable ride
- Asymmetric chainstays resist pedalling forces, ensuring no wasted energy by turning lateral forces into forward momentum
- Oversized short chainstays result in quick yet stable handling, maximising power transfer to back wheel while placing rider over rear to aid handling and traction
Aerodynamics
- Dropped seatstays reduce the frontal area of the bike, aiding aerodynamic efficiency
- Frame is aero in a wide variety of conditions, no matter the wind direction
- Fully-integrated hidden cable design provides a clean look and aerodynamic advantage
- Truncated tubes act like an aerofoil by creating kammtail air flow behind tube, but at reduced weight due to truncation
Comfort
- Frame accepts 32mm tyres, increasing comfort levels and opening up all sorts of possibilities
- Larger tyres enhance comfort so frame can be built with more lateral stiffness
- Unique aero seattube shape which thins to a standard diameter seatpost
- Seatpost is an aero, truncated D-shape and utilises a clever, non-stick seat clamp expander bolt hidden under the top tube
Geometry
- Neutral geometry is stable on downhills, while fast-reacting and nimble through the turns.
Enhanced Comfort
Seat tube narrows to standard diameter seatpost for enhanced comfort
Frame quality
Internal EPS moulds enhance carbon compaction, resulting in a lighter, tougher frame
High-performance carbon
Toray T800 carbon is stiff, lightweight and durable
Aerodynamic
Truncated aerofoil tube shapes are designed to reduce air resistance in all conditions
Seatstays
Dropped seatstays reduce frontal area, enhancing aerodynamic performance
A1R0evo Geometry & Dimensions
Carbon frames are manufactured in the Far East using moulds that are owned by Handsling. This provides full control over the production process and makes each and every model exclusive to the brand.
Great quality frameset which is outstanding to ride. Speed & comfort rarely come together on a road bike but my A1R0evo has it mastered.
It's fast in racing, but also handles really well, which is important when I’m cornering in a criterium or road race.
The A1R0evo is fast, it climbs, it's stable, it handles brilliantly, inspires confidence at speed and is comfortable.
The bike is super smooth, but also has really sharp handling and just feels fast.
