" HAVING A REALLY GOOD BASE SETUP IS A WONDERFUL THING TO BE ABLE TO RELY ON. IT ALLOWS YOU TO FOCUS ON WHAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY INFLUENCE; THAT S YOUR LEGS, YOUR PERFORMANCE, YOUR HEART AND LUNGS. THOSE THINGS, IN THE END, ARE WHAT GET THE VICTORY." JAN FRODENO, IRONMAN 70.3 WORLD CHAMPION (2015), IRONMAN EUROPEAN CHAMPION (2015)
INTEGRATION & NUTRITION GEAR BOX Everything a rider requires for training and race day can be stowed seamlessly inside the top tube. The Gear Box comes equipped with two CO 2 cartridges, two tyre levers and a spare inner tube encased inside a soft neoprene shell between the top tube and down tube. That makes fast puncture repairs possible to get back in the race. ENERGY SOURCE Nutrition storage that conforms both aesthetically and aerodynamically is hard to come by. With the Energy Source we made space for all the gels, bars and hydration tablets needed by the rider for the toughest races out there. This is a strictly no-tape zone.
HYDRATION SOURCE Developed in partnership with Profile Design, the Hydration Source is simple to refill in the heat of the race to increase the amount of time the rider spends in the optimum aero position. Integration need not be complex, the Hydration Source is simple to install and drink out of, while the entire lid is detachable for effective cleaning. INTEGRATED GARMIN MOUNT Performance made visible. Our Integrated Garmin Mount keeps things clean up front and puts vital stats within clear sight of the rider.
SEATPOST BOTTLE CAGE Thanks to a removable adapter, additional bottle cages connect seamlessly to the rear of the seatpost. Compatible with either one or two standard bottles, the mount is simple to install and easy to access when riding.
" THE SPEEDMAX CF SLX COMBINES AESTHETICS WITH ALL THE NEEDS OF A TRIATHLON. TO HAVE ALL YOUR SPARES AND NUTRITION FOR RACE DAY STORED AWAY WITHOUT ANYBODY EVER SEEING THEM OR EVEN KNOWING THEY RE THERE, THAT S AMAZING." JAN FRODENO, IRONMAN 70.3 WORLD CHAMPION (2015), IRONMAN EUROPEAN CHAMPION (2015) 9 Speedmax CF SLX Integration & Nutrition
" OUR AIM WASN T JUST TO CREATE THE FASTEST BIKE, BUT THE FASTEST LOOKING BIKE AS WELL. WHEN THE SPEEDMAX CF SLX IS IN THE TRANSITION ZONE IT ALMOST LOOKS INCOMPLETE BECAUSE IT S SO CLEAN, BUT EVERYTHING YOU NEED IS THERE, EXACTLY WHERE YOU WANT IT. WHEN WE SAY IT S RACE- READY, THAT S EXACTLY WHAT WE MEAN." WOLFGANG KOHL, SPEEDMAX CF SLX ENGINEER 10 Speedmax CF SLX Integration & Nutrition
ERGONOMICS & CONTROL EXTENSION GRIPS A more secure hold and better grip are delivered by the new Ergon extension grips. These dampen road vibrations far more than conventional bar tape for extra comfort. ARM PADS As one of the most crucial rider contact points, comfort is king when it comes to arm pads. Our partnership with ergonomics gurus, Ergon, resulted in the creation of a new shell shape with plush padding material for enhanced damping, grip and comfort. ERGON BASE BAR GRIPS Out-the-saddle climbs and technical descents can be attacked with full confidence thanks to Ergon s innovative Base Bar Grips that greatly increase rider control.
BRAKING SYSTEM We collaborated with TRP to take braking performance on the Speedmax CF SLX to the next level. Re-positioning the front brake from the rear of the fork crown to the front results in a stiffer braking platform for improved feel. All braking mechanics are protected behind a flexible cover and are easy to access for assembly and maintenance. The rear brake remains positioned below the bottom bracket. As this is one of the stiffest points of the frame, the rider benefits from assured braking power and modulation with a clear bite point, while the new design is also more straightforward to adjust.
" TESTING THE FEEDBACK AND THE FEEL OF THE BIKE WHEN YOU ARE CLIMBING A MOUNTAIN OR DESCENDING, THAT S SOMETHING WHERE THE ENGINEERS AND DESIGNERS ARE STILL RELIANT ON OUR FEEDBACK AND I M VERY GLAD TO FEEL A PART OF THE ACTUAL DEVELOPMENT. IN THE END, THAT S WHAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE, THE FINAL FEW PERCENT." JAN FRODENO, IRONMAN 70.3 WORLD CHAMPION (2015), IRONMAN EUROPEAN CHAMPION (2015) 13 Speedmax CF SLX Ergonomics & Control
GEOMETRY & AERODYNAMICS OPTIMISED GEOMETRY Incredibly stable handling was a signature of the previous Speedmax CF, achieved through a combination of long chainstays, long wheelbase and a steep steering angle. We weren t content to leave it at that though, so the new Speedmax CF SLX has a revised geometry to further enhance its ride and handling performance. By optimising the steering angle, we have further improved the bike s high-speed stability. Thanks to the vast array of adjustments possible around the seat and cockpit, it is easier to achieve a more compact and efficient riding position with the Speedmax CF SLX over its predecessor. The new Speedmax CF SLX, like its predecessor, remains 100 % UCI legal.
AERODYNAMICS To enhance aerodynamics with the new Speedmax CF SLX, we took a whole system approach in our CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis and wind tunnel testing. The aim was to create the most efficient setup at 50 km/h. From the frame's tube profiles to the form of each individual component, every element has been shaped and sculpted in the pursuit of absolute aerodynamic efficiency.
" BEING A PERFECTIONIST, I SPEND ABOUT 90-95 % OF MY TIME IN THE TIME TRIAL POSITION. WITH THE NEW SPEEDMAX CF SLX I NOW HAVE A POSITION THAT IS NOT ONLY HIGHLY EFFICIENT, BUT ALSO ALLOWS ME TO RUN A MARATHON AFTER 180 KM." JAN FRODENO, IRONMAN 70.3 WORLD CHAMPION (2015), IRONMAN EUROPEAN CHAMPION (2015) 16 Speedmax CF SLX Geometry & Aerodynamics
