Boardman Bikes (UK) – Press Release: The Air is the most decorated machine in the Boardman range, with multiple Olympic victories on its palmares. With tube profiles shaped through extensive CFD and wind tunnel research, the Air frame is designed for maximum speed.

A fast frame also deserves a fast set of wheels, and the 1610g Boardman Air Elite 7 2017 wheelset is just that. A 50mm deep rear rim is matched with a 38mm front to provide a winning combination both aerodynamic efficiency and controlled handling. The latest iteration of Shimano's Dura Ace Di2 provides flawless shifting even when you're stomping on the pedals, and internal cable routing means not a single Watt is lost.

With a strictly limited edition paint scheme set off with Vittoria Corsa tanwall tyres, not only will you be riding fast but you'll look amazing too.

Features:

• C10 Carbon Frame - Boardman's C10 Carbon uses ultra high modulus fibres in key areas of the frame, boosting stiffness whilst reducing overall frame weight
• Aero Optimised Frame - The tube profiles of the frame and fork have been developed in the wind tunnel to maximise airflow and minimise wind resistance in real world wind conditions
• Profiled Forks and Stays - The inner and outer surfaces of the forks and seat stays are profiled to reduce turbulence created by a rotating wheel
• Tapered Full Carbon Fork - A tapered, full carbon fork with a 1 1/2 inch lower headset bearing increases stiffness and steering precision
• Integrated Front Brake - A powerful mini-V brake is hidden within the fork , significantly reducing turbulence compared to an external brake
• Hidden Rear Brake - The rear brake is located below the BB to maximise clean airflow at the rear of the frame
• PF30 Bottom Bracket - PF30 gives a wider bottom bracket shell allowing us to profile chain stays for excellent aerodynamics and keep the bottom bracket stiff to provide outstanding power transfer
• 4 Position Seatpost - The saddle clamp can be moved between 4 different positions on the seat post, allowing you to adjust the effective seat tube angle from 73°-75° for road, TT or Triathlon use
