About this model
Fast, efficient, aero-focused engineering with a racing pedigree. Maximise your speed for the maximum amount of your time. Ride further and ride it faster.
The all-new, fourth-generation Leggero is now our fastest and lightest ever. Did you know that 80% of your energy is lost trying to overcome aerodynamic drag? The new Leggero has a four-point design focus at the seat stays, seat post, head tube and fork, which have been designed and engineered together in a holistic approach to eliminate drag as practically as possible.
When creating a sublimely fast road bike, our nano carbon resin technology and handmade construction are the key to solving the puzzle of speed alongside comfort. By smoothing the road, dampening the tiresome buzz from the surface and neglected roads and cobbles, you will naturally stay faster. Smoother is faster.
From sun up to sun down you'll want to stay out for longer on the Leggero. Leave riders in your wake on local climbs, drop a shoulder through chicanes, descend with confidence on an international adventure, and sprint for the line in big name events and your local crits.

We supply a full set of both electronic and manual guides and blanking plates for smart cabling framesets, including a piece of cable noise protector for the internal cabling to go through the BB.
If you would like to visit us in the store, here is how the process works.
1. Choose your model
We make a wide range to suit all styles and disciplines. Our full range is available to view online and in-store, but don't worry if you're not sure what's right for you — we're here to help!
2. Have a fitting
We'll ensure that you'll ride in complete comfort and get the best performance from your bike. If you can't visit us in store, we can help with the fit by phone or email.
3. Make it your own
We'll work with you to choose components that suit your requirements, right down to details such as handlebar tape colour. We are here to advise on everything.
4. We build it
We'll assemble your bike in London. Once built, we'll arrange a time and date with you for the handover, where we'll run through everything and help with anything else you may need.

Nano carbon technology
The fibres in our carbon are bound together with resins featuring nano particles. Construction using nano particles requires less resin, resulting in an overall frame weight reduction. Nano resin's microscopic particles are elongated rather than round, which improves the bond between resin and fibre as the surface area is greater. Frame vibration is also dissipated as it travels through the frame and across the nano particles.
Redesigned seat stays
The smaller stays create more aerodynamic flow to the rear wheel, as well as the smaller rear triangle improving stiffness, maximising power transfer to the rear wheel. By lowering the point at which the seat stays meet the seat tube allows for an improved compliance and fatigue resistance at the saddle.
Aero carbon seat post
An aero carbon seat post is included. Its shape uses Winnibald Kam’s research into drag and his breakthrough work in reducing car turbulence at high speeds. The shape he created has come to be known as the Kamm-tail. Our seat post with integrated adjustment is designed to allow for maximum high speed airflow between the frame and riders’ legs.
New head tube with integrated cabling
The all-new fork and integrated steerer tube allows for seamless integration of the bike’s cables from hoods down to the frameset (integrated handlebars and stem required). This shrinks the cockpit’s frontal area, reducing drag on flat roads and climbs up to 6% (the average gradient of a Tour de France climb is 6%). Choose from a two-piece bar and stem or a one-piece for sleek colour coordinated looks.
More clearance
The Leggero has clearance for 30mm tyres. More clearance gives you the flexibility to race the bike the way you want to — wider for comfort and control or slimmer for lightweight and responsive riding.
T47 threaded bottom bracket
We have believed for a long time that a threaded bottom bracket is the best approach for simplicity and reliability. Whilst many brands deviated to create press-fit systems, nearly all of these systems have their issues and have failed to be widely supported. The Leggero features a T47 bottom bracket shell, which builds on the strengths of the BSA system but with a wider diameter. This creates more space for cable routing, allows for a chainset with 30mm axle, and improves stiffness and therefore power transfer. It is compatible with groupsets from Campagnolo, Shimano and SRAM.
The best balance of carbon materials
Condor carbon tubes are made using three different types of carbon manufactured in Japan and the USA. Each layer features unidirectional carbon fibre for strength; high modulus carbon fibre for stiffness; and ultra-high-modulus carbon for both strength and stiffness, whilst being lighter than the previous two (but would be too harsh to ride if used on its own). The tube is wrapped in a 1k weave for impact protection and toughness.
Handlebar options
Handlebars are not included with the frameset. You can choose from a range of integrated handlebars and stems or our one-piece carbon handlebar, which can be painted on request to match the frame, whether in our house colour, agate grey, or any of our custom colours.
