SLR frame weighing just 940 grams
The Carbon Advanced Composite Super Light Race frame has a claimed weight of approximately 940 grams. Its advanced layup is designed to combine lightness, stiffness, and durability, delivering direct power transfer during accelerations and climbs without sacrificing the shock absorption needed for long days on gravel.
The Carbon Advanced Composite Race Gravel fork, with a claimed weight of about 435 grams, complements the frame with precise steering and a design engineered to filter out trail vibrations. The carbon seatpost weighs approximately 157 grams, helping to maintain a lightweight and comfortable ride.
Geometry for Fast Gravel
The Silk’s geometry has been developed to achieve an aerodynamic and efficient riding position without compromising control. In size M, it combines a 395 mm Reach and a 557 mm stack, promoting a sporty riding position to maintain pace during Gravel races.
The 425 mm chainstays provide quick response when accelerating, while the front geometry is designed to offer stability and precision in corners, descents, and on uneven terrain.
Generous wheel clearance
The Silk accommodates tires up to 52 mm in the front and 47 mm in the rear, providing flexibility to adapt the bike to different terrains and conditions. This capability allows riders to use fast tires for Compact trails or higher-volume setups to gain traction, comfort, and control on loose gravel, mud, or technical sections.
The wide wheel clearance offers a significant advantage in Gravel racing, where the terrain can change multiple times within a single race.
Compatible with 1x and 2x drivetrains
Although this version uses a single-chainring drivetrain, the frame is compatible with both 1x and 2x setups. In 1x setups, the derailleur hanger can be replaced with a specific chain guide or a closure cap.
The SRAM UDH dropout also allows for mullet setups, combining Gravel and MTB components to increase the gear range on routes with particularly demanding climbs.
Integrated carbon Cockpit
The Carbon Gravel Racing Handlebar integrates the handlebar and stem into a single carbon structure. The wiring is completely hidden from the Cockpit to the inside of the frame, improving aerodynamics and providing a clean aesthetic.
Dimensions are tailored to each size:
- XS: 70 mm stem and 360/410 mm width.
- S: 80 mm stem and 360/410 mm width.
- M: 90 mm stem and 360/410 mm width.
- L: 100 mm stem and 380/430 mm width.
- XL: 110 mm stem and 380/430 mm width.
SRAM Force XPLR AXS 1x13
The SRAM Force XPLR AXS 13-speed wireless electronic drivetrain delivers fast, precise, and customizable shifting. The single-chainring setup eliminates the front derailleur, simplifies operation, and reduces the likelihood of issues when the terrain becomes rough.
The 40-tooth SRAM Force XPLR chainring is paired with a SRAM XPLR XG-1371 10-46T cassette, offering a wide gear range to maintain speed on fast trails and tackle steep climbs.
SRAM Force Wide Power Meter
The cranks feature a SRAM Force Wide power meter, allowing you to measure power and manage your effort with objective data during training and competitions.
The crank arm length is tailored to each size:
- XS: 160 mm.
- S: 165 mm.
- M: 170 mm.
- L: 172.5 mm.
- XL: 175 mm.
SRAM Force AXS Brakes
The SRAM Force AXS hydraulic brakes are paired with 160 mm SRAM Paceline rotors, providing powerful, progressive, and easy-to-modulate braking on loose surfaces or during long descents.
Their integration with the AXS shifters offers optimal ergonomics for controlling the bike from the climbing position and from the lower part of the handlebars.
Zipp 303 XPLR S Carbon Wheels
The Zipp 303 XPLR S wheels feature Tubeless Ready carbon rims with a 54 mm profile, designed to combine aerodynamics, stability, and support for wide Gravel tires.
The Zipp 76D and 176D hubs use 12 x 100 mm thru-axles in the front and 12 x 142 mm in the rear. This construction provides solid and reliable responsiveness for racing and fast rides.
Pirelli Cinturato Gravel RC Classic 700 x 45C
The Pirelli Cinturato Gravel RC Classic 700 x 45C tires are race-oriented and offer a balance of speed, grip, and protection. Their natural-colored sidewalls provide a classic look, while the Tubeless Ready configuration allows for lower tire pressure to improve traction and comfort.
High-Performance Components
The Megamo Gravel Advanced Carbon seatpost helps reduce weight and provides controlled flex to improve comfort on uneven terrain. It measures 350 mm in sizes XS and S, 400 mm in M and L, and 450 mm in XL. The setup is completed with the Fizik Vento Argo X5 saddle, designed to offer support and stability in a sporty Gravel riding position.
