We re-engineered the SL and Team carbon monocoque frames with higher modulus fiber and new manufacturing methods making them even lighter than last year. Fully finished SL frames in some sizes weigh in as light as 850 grams. And we’ve stiffened the critical bottom bracket/chainstay area for serious kick when you surge on the pedals.The new-for-’08 Xenith SL spares nothing, with the best selection of race-level parts we could find.

We dropped every gram possible, thanks to tricks like carbon dropouts and finishing the frame and fork with only a thin, ultralight protective clearcoat.With Pro-circuit race-tested geometry, the Xenith’s handling is uncanny, letting you scorch corners in criteriums or make up time on twisty descents. You’ll have near-perfect weight distribution for cornering with a slick aero posture that puts you in a power position over the pedals for solo attacks or fast training rides.

Monocoque construction utilizing two diferent carbon fiber types (DYAD lay-up) for increased stiffness & resilience
Tri-Oval differential tubing diameters support larger riders without punishing smaller ones
Seatstays run full length from dropout to seat tube increasing lateral stiffness while offering greater vertical compliance than standard larger diameter monostays
Forged one-piece dropouts, with replaceable hanger, offer greater strength and relaibility than the standard bolted & glued dropouts most others use
Asymmetrical muscle-shaped chainstays with driveside chainstay 10% larger than non-driveside chainstay yields 30% more volume & stiffness to offset the high loads of sprinting torque
Clamp on front derailleur instead of riveted braze-on type spreads shifting forces around the tube instead of localizing them at one point
Seat tube/clamp area has double cut slot with a 2-bolt 7075 seat clamp for secure seatpost clamping
Over-sized seat tube/seat post for a more stable seat/pedaling platform
