Boardman’s SLR range packs aero features in an endurance machine
Aero features in an all-day riding bike
Quality ride: comfortable while still engaging
Budget wheelset
Narrower gear range than Ultegra can accommodate
Worth considering the disc-brake version

A lot of bike for not that much money, Boardman’s SLR 8.6 is one of the best budget bikes around
All-carbon fork, tubeless-ready rims, lovely all-round ride and great practicality
Average braking and some of us would prefer a wider cassette than 11-28
