You can ride faster if you can stop faster, too. It's the reason that, for the Attain SLX, we chose Shimano's proven 105 hydraulic disc brakes, and matched them with the fast acceleration and superb grip of Continental's 30mm Grand Prix tyres on Newmen Performance R.32 wheels – so you can brake later and stay in full control. Combined with the slick reliability of Shimano's iconic 105 2x12 gears, the pace of a semi-aero frame and the comfort of a full carbon fork, it makes for a bike that's as suited to a fast club run as it is to a longer weekend ride.<br><br><strong>Frame description</strong><br />We built the Attain's 6061 semi-aero aluminium chassis with both comfort and performance in mind. A teardrop profile down tube helps the frame slice through the air and integrated cable routing reduces clutter, while Smooth Welding gives tube joints a premium, almost organic appearance. The tapered steerer and thru axles front and rear ensure pinpoint precision accuracy and efficient power transfer. Slender seatstays and a full carbon fork help reduce road shock and vibration for significantly improved rider comfort, and there's room for tyres up to 32mm. And, with a neatly integrated seatpost clamp and mounting points under the top tube, we like to think we've thought of everything... so you can just ride.
