Boardman CXR 9.2 review

Jan 2019 · Robin Wilmott

The CXR 9.2 is well-specced, light, agile and very race worthy, all for an impressive price. Buy if you want a well-equipped race bike that really can compete with higher priced machines

Highs
  • Complete SRAM Force groupset, light, tubeless setup

Lows
  • Rear tyre clearance could be better
