Boardman Bikes launch two new limited edition bikes costing £499 and £999

Two new limited edition road bikes launched in time for Christmas

Boardman Bikes have launched two new limited edition road bikes in the run up to Christmas and they will be available, exclusively at Halfords, from today - well, one of them is. The two bikes are the Road Sport Limited Edition costing £499.99 and the Road Team Carbon Limited Edition priced at £999.99

The Road Sport Limited Edition, which won’t be available until December, is based on the Road Sport we reviewed earlier this year but gets an upgraded carbon fibre fork (with aluminium steerer) to save a bit of weight.

The frame is constructed from 7005 triple butted aluminium and it’s painted a new colour with yellow graphics and matching tyres and bar tape.

There is the same 16-speed Shimano Claris groupset as found on the regular Road Sport, along with Mavic CXP-22 rims and 25mm wide Vittoria Zaffiro tyres, which will provide a bit more comfort with no lack of speed. Take a better look at it here.

Available now, the Boardman Performance Series Road Team Carbon features a full carbon fibre frame and fork, constructed using T700 unidirectional carbon centred around a press-fit 30 bottom bracket. There’s a tapered steerer tube to increase front-end stiffness. 

It’s built up with a SRAM Apex groupset with a compact chainset and Tektro R540 brakes. Wheels feature Mavic CXP-22 rims with 28 spokes in the front wheel and 32 in the rear. they’re fitted with Vittoria Zaffiro 23mm tyres.
Boardman’s own E4P handlebars, stem, seatpost and saddle complete the bike.

The frame and fork is finished in a new white paint job with yellow accents, which is only available on this limited edition model. The bike weighs a claimed 8.6kg (18.95lb). Take a look at it on their website.

Check out both bikes over at www.halfords.com. You can see details of the 2014 Boardman Bikes range from their launch a while ago which we covered in this article.

Anyone have any further feedback on the carbon model? Looks tempting, albeit without those tyres!

The Boardman Team Carbon is a really great ride. I own a lot more expensive bikes, but it's really hard to beat the ride quality and all round performance of my Team Carbon.

More expensive than Decathlon (especially the £500 model - the equivalent BTWIN 500 bike comes with full Sora, including callipers and chainset, and costs £70 less), but fairly competitive with Planet X, Dolan and Ribble bikes. You do seem to get a lot of bike for your money these days with the entry level stuff.
