Description
Lightweight, fast, and highly nimble, the R872 Disc’s all-carbon construction provides a level of torsional stiffness and power transfer that is unsurpassed in its class. Built around the all-carbon frameset, we’ve selected a highly versatile specification that includes the very latest Shimano 105 groupset. The gateway to 12-speed shifting, 105 makes premium mechanical shifting accessible to all while delivering the all-condition braking confidence of hydraulic disc brakes. Mavic Aksium wheels paired with Continental Ultra Sport tyres provide everyday road riders with a wheelset they can rely on, regardless of the time of year or road conditions.
Groupset
Shimano’s first and only 12-speed mechanical groupset is the latest addition to the premium road family. 105 7100 combines pure cycling with pure craftmanship. Inspired by 105 Di2, this versatile drivetrain delivers the wide gear range, hand-friendly ergonomics, and all-condition braking confidence you’ve always craved. Developed from Shimano’s Science of Speed philosophy, 105 mechanical raises accessible performance to a whole new level.
Wheelset
The impressive strength-to-weight ratio and durable construction of Mavic's Aksium wheels offer aspiring cyclists the clear performance benefits of a high-quality wheelset. We've matched them with a multi-surface tyre, allowing you to traverse paved and off-road routes equally. Paired with a Continental Ultra Sport tyre which features their PureGrip compound for improved traction and control.
Handlebars
LEVEL alloy handlebars offer a shorter drop and reach, providing swift transitions from the tops and hoods to the drops with minimal change of position. Their ergonomic design ensures almost any cyclist can find their optimal ride position for enhanced comfort on rides of any distance. Wrapped in a comfortable LEVEL cork ribbon and neatly matched with a LEVEL handlebar stem.
Saddle
A lightweight LEVEL alloy seat post paired with an Selle Italia Model X saddle provides riders with the exceptional comfort and support they need to explore every backcountry lane or city street. Designed with sustainability in mind but without compromising performance, Model X features a glue-less assembly; with gel padding and a superflow cut-out for all-day ride comfort.
