Due to delays in global supply chains, Manufacturer may have replaced some original components with equivalent or higher quality components. In some cases, the bike delivered may differ from the images.

The Attain GTC SL is a masterpiece of both æsthetics and function, even if we do say so ourselves. A high-performance race bike in its own right, it combines the sublime comfort of a high-tech carbon frame with the speed-enhancing safety of the latest in disc brake technology. The ultimate high-speed endurance machine? We like to think so. Shimano's peerless Ultegra gears, compact and elegant 105 disc brakes and a Fulcrum Racing 77 wheelset blend the taut, elegant and surprisingly comfortable carbon frame to make a consummate long-distance mile-muncher. Carbon fork blades and deliberately slender seat stays help filter out harsh vibrations from rough road surfaces, while 12mm axles front and rear combined with a tapered head tube and cross-ovalised down tube ensure that all your effort goes into propelling you forward - and that the powerful brakes can bring you quickly and safely to a stop, whatever the weather. Efficiency, comfort and performance: it's all in the Attain GTC SL's genes.

The Attain GTC's frame was developed from the ground up by the engineers to combine class-leading comfort, performance and low weight for endurance riding. The beauty of carbon construction is that, with the right expertise, practically anything is possible. So, for example, the rear end's slim æro Flex Stays are designed to reduce the impact of road shocks on the rider - a clear advantage on longer rides, increasing comfort and reducing the symptoms of fatigue and tension. The big-volume down tube, combined with the PressFit bottom bracket and tapered head tube, ensures that the rider's efforts are efficiently converted into forward propulsion, and that every steering impulse is precisely transmitted to the front wheel. As you'd expect, we maintained the frame's elegant looks by routing cables internally, which also has the benefit of keeping gear shifts cleaner for longer. And less maintenance means more time riding...
