Boardman Air 9.4 review

Aug 2019 · Robin Wilmott

Ultegra Di2, a good all-round spec and decent speed, but comes with a few compromises

Highs
  • Shimano Ultegra Di2, speed-focused ride

Lows
  • Quite a firm ride, rear brake lacks real bite or power

Despite its focus on speed, this is a surprisingly versatile and comfortable all-rounder
