Handsling A1R0evo Shimano 105 7120 Mechanical
Reviews (350+) ★★★★★
The Handsling A1R0evo with Shimano 105 7120 mechanical groupset is a super fast, reliable performer with which to enter the world of high performance bikes.
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
Shimano 105 represents incredible value for money with all the performance of its Dura-ace stablemate but at a sixth of the price.

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.
Handsling A1R0evo
Stiff, Robust & Lightweight.
The Handsling A1R0evo is the ultimate carbon fibre road frame. It is stiff, robust, lightweight, with clearance for up to 32mm tyres.
The A1R0evo will do everything well, from storming tight city centre crits to conquering steep mountain passes to floating over Belgian cobbles.
The UCI-approved road frame is available in 30+ limited edition colours.
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.
The frame was designed in-house from scratch to achieve real world aerodynamic performance combined with the toughness to sustain minor knocks.
Handsling are in the fortunate position of being able to control all aspects of production and actually own the moulds which we use to make our bikes.
Tested and developed in race conditions, the UCI-approved A1R0evo excels in multiple scenarios - from tight city centre streets to steep mountain passes to cruising on a club ride.
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 stiffnessUnique 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
Bikes are assembled in Handsling's UK workshop according to rider size and spec, including high-end components from Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo, and your choice of wheels and finishing kit.
