F/Road Series 1 Black Metal
When only the best will do, we’ve selected all of our top-shelf components to build the F/Road Series 1. Featuring the silky smooth shifting of Shimano's top-tier Dura-Ace groupset for ultra quick shifting and transfering power through the Campagnolo BORA wheelset wheelset with the ceramic USB cup-and-cone bearing system and finished with our own carbon fiber integrated barstem, this build is an ultra-clean wind cheater that is also light enough to take on the fiercest of mountain passes.

• Approximate weight: 7.5kg (Size Dependent)
• Shimano Dura-Ace R9270 12sp Wireless Electronic Groupset
• Campagnolo BORA WTO 45 DB wheelset

Smart Aero

We set out to design the ultimate, do-it-all versatile race bike with light weight, advanced aerodynamics and agile handling, but without any of the bulk of the previous generation of aero road bikes. To achieve this, the frame’s head-tube, down-tube, seat-tube and seat-stays utilise NACA Airfoil tube shapes with truncated tails for optimal weight/aero balance and increased torsional stiffness.

Up front, the wide-stance aero optimised fork legs decrease airflow pressure around the wheel for drag-reduction. This advanced airfoil profile takes advantage of new UCI rules for maximum aerodynamic efficiency and minimum weight.

No more ugly, impractical external cables.

Key Features

• Integrated Carbon Barstem Cockpit with internally routed cables
• Reversible "Aeroval" Seatpost for multiple positions
• Up to 32mm Tire Clearance
• Fully integrated cable routing
• UCI Approved

"The Fara Cycling F/AR is an absolute cracker – it feels like a race bike on the road, but can transfer that performance to hardpacked tracks and trails through its ability to swallow 38mm tyres."
