Sportif SL (2011-2012), RRP £999.99

Dawes says

The Sportif SL is a pure bread Sportive machine, with its Shimano 105 20 speed gears, lightweight alloy Dynamism frame and carbon fork the SL really flies on the flats but is more than capable of climbing hills. The SL also features a short drop alloy bar that is wrapped with gel lined cork tape to make long distance rides comfortable.
