Reviews (350+) ★★★★★
The Handsling A1R0evo fitted with wirelessly-operated Classified Powershift drivetrain.
The in house designed A1R0evo frame combines these key features:
- Real world fast - wind cheating profiles of truncated aerofoil tube shapes
- Power transfer enhancement - asymmetric stays, oversized head tube and bottom bracket shell
- Control in all conditions - asymmetric forks to withstand twisting forces under braking
- Do-it-all road frame - the frame is stiff yet still comfortable, aided by a unique tapered seattube design and being able to fit tyres up to 32mm wide
- Race proven - used by 3 pro-continental teams to win multiple races
- Toray T800 carbon - advanced carbon lay-up for extra durability, lightweight, stiffness and top performance
Now A1R0evo riders can benefit from Classified's lightening fast gear shifting and the ability to change under bigger power outputs than with a set of chainrings.
A two-speed shifting system is integrated in the rear hub, allowing riders to shift wirelessly between two ratios. The system does away with the front derailleur while retaining the functionality of 2x. Shifting takes 150 milliseconds under loads of up to 1,000 watts.
This bike is an exciting option for riders who want the clean design of a 1x combined with the gear ratio range of 2x. Less chain crossing is required than a standard 1x, meaning chain tension, crank and hub bearing losses are lower.
The Powershift is of equal or lighter weight than a traditional electronic groupset due to the absence of front mech and chain ring.
The A1R0evo Classified Powershift can be fitted with your choice of groupset. As standard we fit it to Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 12-speed, Shimano Ultegra Di2 12-speed, SRAM Red AXS or SRAM Force AXS.

Handsling A1R0evo
Stiff, Robust & Lightweight.
Every cyclists wants a bike that combines aero advantage with the lightness and comfort for long days in the saddle. The Handsling A1R0evo delivers on all fronts.
The A1R0evo is the ultimate carbon fibre disc brake road bike. Designed by Handsling from scratch, it is stiff, robust, lightweight, and has clearance for up to 32mm tyres.
The bike will do everything well, from storming tight city centre crits to conquering steep mountain passes to floating over Belgian cobbles. It is used by pro cycling teams and enthusiasts throughout the world.
The UCI-approved bike is available in six sizes and 30+ limited edition colours.
Key Design Features
The A1R0evo was designed 100% in-house and engineered by a veteran of the cycling industry.
- 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
- 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
- Dropped seatstays reduce the frontal area of the bike, aiding aerodynamic efficiency
- Downtube flairs to full width of BB86 bottom bracket. Aluminium insert means no risk of galvanic corrosion.
- Neutral British/US geometry is stable on downhills, while fast-reacting and nimble through the turns.
- 12mm thru axles enhance frame and wheel stiffness
- Hidden seatclamp to prevent dirt build up and sticking
Frame Production
- Handsling controls all aspects of production and owns the moulds used to manufacture the frames
- Manufactured using lightweight yet tough Toray T800 high-performance carbon
- About 200g could be removed from the frame weight, but Handsling prioritises durability
- Internal EPS internal moulds result in increased carbon compaction, eliminating small imperfections to make the frame light and stiff.
- Rigorous testing procedures surpass ISO standards.
UCI-Approved and Race proven
The A1R0evo started life as the frame for the Handslinf Racing cycling team.
The UCI-approved is currently used at elite level by the DAS-Handsling Women's UCI Continental team in the UK and Chaney Windows & Doors pro team in the US.

It's fast in racing, but also handles really well, which is important when I’m cornering in a criterium or road race
Great quality frameset which is outstanding to ride. Speed & comfort rarely come together on a road bike but my A1R0evo has it mastered.
The bike (itself) is fast, it climbs, its stable, it handles brilliantly, inspires confidence at speed and is comfortable; for an aero bike anyway.
The bike is super smooth but also has really sharp handling and just feels fast.
Stiff, nimble and really quick, yet more than comfortable…..that frame is seriously top! All the set up was spot on; using 28’s tyres perfect for the gnarly Yorkshire tarmac,
I was free wheeling when others where pedalling lol it just cut through the air! Roll on next event!
The bike - A1RO Evo Ultegra Di2 is a dream! It's fast without being twitchy, comfortable on long rides and climbs brilliantly too. Puts a smile on my face every time I ride it!
