- the first Handsling frame designed 100% in-house
- engineered by one of the best in the business
- manufactured using moulds owned exclusively by Handsling
- UCI approved
- frame profile optimised for aerodynamics and stiffness
The A1R0evo will do everything well, from storming tight city centre crits to conquering steep mountain passes to floating over Belgian cobbles.
Features:
Manufacturing
- Manufactured using Toray T800 carbon, one of the strongest, toughest carbons on the market
- Internal EPS internal moulds used for increased carbon compaction, eliminating small imperfections to make the frame tougher, lighter, and stiffer
- Rigorous, destructive testing procedure to surpass ISO standards
Geometry
- Race geometry is classic Handsling that has been proven in national championships, tight city centre criteriums, cobbled Belgian classics, fast road races and mountainous sportives
Aerodynamic
- Truncated, D-shaped aerodynamic tube profiles
- Frame is aero in a wide variety of conditions, no matter the wind direction
- Integrated 'hidden cable' handlebars for clean look and aerodynamic efficiency
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
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
Integration
- Fully hidden cable design
- Compatible with Handsling integrated bar/stem options (see below)*
Robust
- Frame is designed for constant use and to take knocks
- Weight 920g matte UD carbon frame and 350g uncut fork (size 52cm)
The A1R0evo is available in limited edition colours and can be built up with a variety of groupsets and finishing kits.
