"A high-end, no-compromise road bike that delivers stiffness and comfort in equal measure." 9/10
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.
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
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.

Which Handsling carbon road bike is right for me: A1R0evo or A1R0evoS?
The A1R0evo is our most versatile carbon road bike, combining lightweight speed, stiffness, and comfort in a package that excels everywhere – from town-centre criteriums to mountain climbs and long endurance rides. It’s the choice if you want one bike that can do it all.
The A1R0evoS takes the same proven geometry and refines it with Toray T1100 carbon fibre, making the frame lighter and sharper, with added stiffness for maximum efficiency. It’s the option for riders chasing the ultimate in weight savings and responsiveness, where every watt and every gram counts.
Both are UCI-approved, hand-assembled in Britain, and tailored precisely to your fit – the decision comes down to whether you want the all-round performance of the A1R0evo, or the pro-level edge of the A1R0evoS.
What are the advantages of a carbon road bike compared to titanium, aluminium, or steel?
Carbon road bikes offer the best stiffness-to-weight ratio, making them lighter and faster to accelerate than titanium, aluminium, or steel alternatives. Carbon fibre better absorbs road buzz, improving comfort on long rides, while being strong and durable. This balance of lightweight performance and superior ride quality is why most racing and endurance road bikes in the UK market are now carbon fibre.
Why choose a carbon road bike for racing?
Carbon framed road bikes are the standard choice for racing because they deliver speed, stiffness, and aerodynamic efficiency. Handsling’s UCI-approved A1R0evo and A1R0evoS are engineered with aerodynamic tube profiles, an oversized bottom bracket, and race proven geometry to maximise power transfer and control – advantages that make the difference in sprints, climbs, and breakaways.
Are carbon fibre road bikes worth the investment for amateur riders?
Yes. Even for amateur cyclists, carbon fibre road bikes provide clear benefits: they’re lighter for climbing, stiffer for efficient power transfer, and smoother over rough roads. Handsling’s frames are also built for durability and come with a lifetime warranty, making them a long-term investment in comfort and performance.
Are Handsling carbon road bikes available through Cycle to Work schemes in the UK?
Yes. Handsling carbon road bikes can be purchased through major Cycle to Work schemes, including Green Commute Initiative, Cyclescheme, and Bike2Work. This makes our custom carbon road bikes more accessible to riders across the UK, while spreading the cost and benefiting from tax savings.
How much do typical carbon framed road bikes weigh?
The weight of a carbon framed road bike varies with frame size and build kit, but most complete bikes are between 7-9kg. Handsling’s A1R0evo sits competitively in this range, balancing stiffness, comfort, and speed. For those seeking the lightest option, the A1R0evoS comes in at the lower end of the scale, delivering exceptional responsiveness and performance.
Do Handsling road bikes come complete or as frame-only?
Handsling offers both options. Riders can purchase a frameset, or work with our team to build a complete carbon road bike tailored to their fit and riding goals. This flexibility allows full customisation from the ground up.
What components can be customised on a Handsling carbon road bike?
Almost every key component can be customised. Riders can choose their preferred wheels, groupset, handlebars, stem and saddle, along with over 130 paint finishes. This level of choice ensures your Handsling carbon framed road bike is tailored to your riding and style.
Can I visit the Handsling factory in Hampshire to see my bike being built?
Yes! Visits to the Handsling factory in Hampshire, UK, can be arranged by appointment. Riders can see where their carbon road bike is designed and assembled, discuss finishes and components with the team, and follow their build process.
