Description
With its innovative design and aerodynamically optimised frame and forks, the Ultra SL is designed to dominate and deliver a blisteringly fast ride that will blow your mind. The serious racer or speed-obsessed road rider will appreciate a build that includes the slick and intuitive gear shifting of Shimano’s latest 105 2x12-speed mechanical groupset and the smooth-rolling performance of Mavic Ksyrium 30 Disc wheels paired with fast and grippy Pirelli P Zero Road tyres. Rounding out this race-ready build is a set of RI-2 integrated carbon handlebars, complete with stealth cable routing to keep cables entirely removed from airflow. All contribute to a slippery frame profile that helps the Ultra SL generate up to 40% less drag than conventional handlebar setups.
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
Ksyrium 30 Disc is the perfect entry point into high-level race performance. This tubeless-compatible wheelset's dynamic ride quality helps you roll faster and smoother while retaining a lightweight feel for climbing and accelerating. Paired with Pirelli P Zero road tyres, which balance performance with durability, for both reliability and grip. The carcass features excellent puncture resistance while keeping weight impressively low.
Handlebars
The Ribble RI-2 carbon integrated handlebar is a proprietary system that conceals every cable while providing optimal fit, adjustability, and seamless integration. This one-piece cockpit exemplifies the perfect marriage of form and function, combining a clean, cable-free aesthetic with advanced aerodynamics to reduce drag by up to 40% compared to a conventional handlebar setup. With a super-stiff carbon monocoque construction and refined ergonomics, the RI-2 system is designed for speed-conscious road riders who prioritise performance and all-day comfort.

Saddle
The Ultra Aero seat post features a truncated aerofoil profile that's aerodynamically optimised to reduce drag in the high-speed airflow disturbed by the rider's leg. A composite shaft absorbs road shocks for a vibration-smoothing ride quality further enhanced by a Selle Italia Model X saddle. 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.
