Built for the Long Breakaway
Born from the DNA of our critically acclaimed all-road platform, the Roadfinder SL is precision-engineered for pure speed on tarmac.
Lighter, sharper and more tarmac focused than its all-terrain sibling, the SL is tuned for strength and lightness — giving you the lively, responsive ride quality of steel in a lean, race-ready form.
At the heart of the SL is a special custom-drawn and formed Reynolds 853SL tube-set and new re-designed, lighter signature 3D printed stainless steel junctions and dropouts, expertly brazed, silver soldered, welded and finished by hand to create a 1698g steel masterpiece. Paired with a lightweight 450g Columbus Futura SLX disc carbon fork. The SL is tuned to give you the lively, responsive ride quality of steel in a lean, race-ready machine.
With its endurance-race geometry, the Roadfinder SL delivers the perfect balance of comfort and performance — ideal for epic rides, spirited chain-gang, solo efforts to quick blasts through the lanes. We've built the Roadfinder SL to be a bicycle that rewards effort, holds speed effortlessly, and corners with confidence and composure.
This is a bike built for the thrill of the road — chasing the horizon, bridging to the break, or carving clean lines through switchback descents.
Every detail has been engineered with modern road bike performance in mind. The custom profiled circular-to-ovalised tapered downtube adds exceptional power transfer, putting every watt from every pedal stroke into the road. A slender 27.2mm seat-post and svelte custom profiled seat stays deliver comfort over long hours and rolling terrain, while the 44mm head tube and tapered carbon fork steerer provides unwavering precision through every corner and torsional stiffness in every out of the saddle effort.
Despite its racy intentions, the Roadfinder SL doesn’t shy away from the real world. There’s ample clearance for 32c tyres, or 28c with mudguards, giving you room to ride further, faster, and in more comfort — whatever the weather. Internal routing, flat mount disc brakes, and a UDH-compatible dropout keep the lines clean and the drivetrain future-proof.
The frame tips the scales at just 1698g, a full 400g lighter than the original Roadfinder, offering club riders and sportive enthusiasts a lightweight platform that climbs like a dream and descends with confidence.
The Roadfinder SL is available with a selection of premium electronic drivetrains to match your performance goals. Choose from the smooth and precise Shimano 105 Di2, the uncompromising Ultegra Di2, or the race-proven Dura-Ace Di2 and Campagnolo Super Record 13 speed– all offering lightning-fast wireless shifting and flawless integration.
To complement each build, we’ve paired the 105 Di2 with the reliable and lightweight DT Swiss A1800 Spline 30mm aero alloy wheels – perfect for year-round training and endurance rides. Riders opting for Ultegra, Dura-Ace Di2 or Super Record benefit from a performance upgrade to Parcours Strade 54mm/49mm carbon wheels, delivering aero efficiency and rapid acceleration for fast-paced rides.
All builds feature powerful hydraulic disc brakes for consistent, confidence-inspiring stopping power in all conditions – ensuring the Roadfinder SL performs just as well on the descents as it does on the climbs.
To strike the perfect balance between performance, comfort, and control, each Roadfinder SL is equipped with a premium finishing kit tailored to its build level. The Shimano 105 Di2 model features Zipp Service Course components, including SC70 handlebars, a forged alloy stem, and a compliant 27.2mm Service Course seatpost, paired with the lightweight and weatherproof Brooks Cambium C13 saddle – offering excellent support for long days in the saddle.
For those choosing the Ultegra Di2, Dura-Ace Di2 or Super Record builds, the finishing kit is upgraded to Zipp Service Course SL handlebars and stem for reduced weight and enhanced stiffness, along with a sleek Zipp SL Speed carbon seatpost for added responsiveness. These higher-tier models are topped with the race-ready Brooks Cambium C13 Carbon saddle, delivering a perfect fusion of lightweight performance and long-distance comfort.
The Roadfinder SL is engineered to reward every effort with razor-sharp responsiveness, lightweight agility, and sublime comfort—mile after mile, ride after ride.
Offered in sizes from XS to XL the Roadfinder SL is designed to provide sublime comfort for demanding all-day epics, yet engineered to unleash your power for explosive sprints, decisive attacks on the flats, and powerful out-of-the-saddle efforts on the steepest hills.
