Handsling A1R0evoS Classified Powershift Road Bike
Reviews (350+) ★★★★★
The Handsling A1R0evoS fitted with wirelessly-operated Classified Powershift drivetrain.
The in house designed A1R0evoS 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 A1R0evoS 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 A1R0evoS 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 A1R0evoS
Stiff, Aero & Lightweight.
The Handsling A1R0evoS (pron. aero-evo) is the ultimate carbon road frame for those seeking to build a lightweight superbike
Using the same moulds as for the A1R0evo, the A1R0evoS utilises Toray T1100 carbon fibre, which requires less material to achieve the same level of frame stiffness, thereby resulting in a lighter frame that is still as stiff as our race winning T800 series frame
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.
We offer Remote Tailored Sizing so you can get the best fit.
