Handsling CEXevo Frame - Custom Painted
Reviews (350+)★★★★★
This is the latest, Mk4 version of our tried and tested Handsling CEXevo. It is still tough, light and durable, and the perfect, versatile frame to cope with the rigours of cyclocross racing and fast gravel adventures.
For the mk4, we have further developed the frame to refine the performance. The carbon lay-up has been upgraded to be even stiffer at the headtube, bottom bracket and chainstays, and yet still be forgiving in the seatstays, seattube, and the fork.
Aesthetically there are a few things you will notice:
- The downtube now features only one cable exit hole, on the left hand side. It still works with mechanical 2x, as a new insert handles 3 cables/hoses. This gives a new much tidier routing pattern. (Please let us know which groupset you intend to run in the notes when ordering).
- The bottom bracket shell is free of any inserts now, resulting in a much neater and stiffer unit. We advise users to run a full length cable outer from lever to both mechs, as this aids weather proofing and extends cable inner life.

I seem to have a long list of things that the Handsling team are helping out with - advice / adjustments / fitting / etc... literally nothing seems too much to ask. So in short - the whole team has been fantastic - at no point has this felt like a 'transaction' - I feel like I've got a 'family' who are as passionate about the sport as I am!

When I ride it on asphalt, I feel like I am on my road bike and when on gravel it feels as stable as a MTB. Cool!
Ian Loades
Very positive experience highly recommend their service and bikes. Took time on my questions and excessive pondering.
