Frame
The Attain Race's brand new frame is made of Superlite aluminium tubing using our Smooth Welding manufacturing process. To make it more comfortable on longer rides, our engineers build the rear end with extra vertical compliance without sacrificing torsional rigidity - so the frame can simultaneously absorb vibration and remain efficient. There's also enough clearance at the rear and under the carbon fork to fit tyres up to 28mm - an option that could significantly incease comfort and safety on any ride that ventures away from smooth Tarmac. We're obsessed with not wasting a single watt of pedal power, so we've added a tapered head tube, PressFit bottom bracket and a complex cross-section down tube. We've also routed all the cables internally while maintaining easy access for servicing, tidying up the frame's looks and increasing cable service life.
Components
Shimano's new all-round 2x10 Tiagra group takes care of shifting and braking on the Attain Race. We chose a cassette with an 11-34T range, while the compact crank features chainrings of 50 and 34T. It's a gear range that'll easily tackle both the steepest climbs and the fastest descents. Out of the box, the Attain Race rolls with fast Fulcrum Racing 77 wheels - an ideal complement to the Attain Race's long-distance-at-speed character, particularly when shod with Continental's grippy Ultra Sport 2 for perfect steering and braking.
