Planet X Pro Carbon Gran Fondo

The best selling SL Pro Carbon road bike kitted with sportive-friendly, col-busting, wide-range gearing from SRAM's Rival Climber Kit drivetrain, all at an amazing price. Unarguably one of the finest carbon sportive bikes currently on the market. The Pro is our tried and totally trusted team-developed carbon frameset. Light enough to bag the King Of The Mountains jersey and comfortable enough to ride all week. The SL Pro Sport is a brilliantly designed but still affordable racy sportive machine. For fitness riding, training and even sportives, we'd have no hesitation in recommending it. At a relatively modest pace the ride feels smooth and controlled, small road bumps being evened out by the carbon, and the lightness of both the frame and the wheels is much appreciated on the hills. The buzz-killing full-carbon fork up front is the same as found on our other SL Pro Carbon bikes, so while the ride we be exciting it won't be a painful white-knuckle ride. A full carbon fibre frame paired with with a full-carbon fibre fork is a rare sight on a bike at this price. "At a relatively modest pace the ride feels smooth and controlled, small road bumps being evened out by the carbon, and the lightness of both the frame and the wheels is much appreciated on the hills." - Cycling Plus magazine. "The Planet X SL Pro Carbon frame certainly offers the kind of comfort level you'd be looking for if you want to be spending hours in the saddle. Where this bike really comes into its own is on the climbs. The softness of the frame allows the rear wheel to track positively across rough tarmac, while the minimal weight allows it to float up all but the most aggressive inclines." - 220 Triathlon magazine. The SRAM Rival Climber Kit wide range gearing enables you to conquer big climbs and steep slopes. Great for taking on the dream trip to France and making your mark on the cols. Paired with a compact chainset rather than a standard triple it delivers a wider range of gears. http://www.planet-x-bikes.com
