The CGR philosophy:

Versatile. One bike to do it all. The CGR family meets the demands of the modern rider because of it's ability to do everything and tackle all surfaces and conditions.

As passionate cyclists with very high product expectations and a definite spirit for adventure, we design and craft the bikes we want to ride, the bikes that will enhance our riding experience, exceed our performance goals and take us on to new horizons.

The CGR SL epitomises this philosophy by offering the ultimate in versatility and performance to handle the toughest roads, terrain and weather conditions. Through a series of frame platforms designed, tested and crafted from the best materials with meticulous attention to detail, carefully designed tube profiles and a geometry fine-tuned to create the ideal balance between handling, stability, comfort and control.

Highly versatile:

Built around a superlight, performance orientated, yet highly versatile platform, the CGR SL’s specification can be configured for Road, Off-road, Commuting or all three if you want one bike capable of excelling on all terrains.

Select a high-end road groupset with lightweight wheelset and race bike finishing kit, and you have an Endurance road bike capable of mixing it with thoroughbred race bikes over the highest mountain passes and epic road endurance events.

Your custom ride:

If your passion is getting out into the wilderness and distant trails the CGR SL’s compatibility with up to 650x47c tyres, disc brakes and a geometry designed to offer stability and control when handling the roughest terrain and self-supported ultra-endurance adventures.

With full mudguard compatibility, rear rack mounts, endurance geometry and a multitude of drivetrain specification options the CGR SL also builds into the ideal commuter bike with the durability, efficiency and comfort required to get you to and from work in all seasons.

Alternatively, mix elements of all three and build the bike that is truly customised to meet the requirements of your own adventure. The CGR SL re-defines what you believed was possible from one bike!

Durability & comfort:

The CGR SL frameset is manufactured from a carefully selected blend of Toray’s T1000 and T800 carbon. Layered to an exacting specification using an advanced monocoque mould technology incorporating an EPS inner core system which ensures complete consistency of the structural integrity of the fibres and resin throughout the frame.

This system also eliminates excess material on the inside of the frame. The profiles and shapes designed into the frame are all there for a specific performance reason, from the truncated aerofoil down tube enhancing aerodynamic advantage and torsional stiffness to the seat stays designed for vertical compliance and vibration absorption. This frame is the epitome of design and attention to detail.
