The Sturdy Cycles SC-R is a premium road bike engineered for comfort, efficiency, and exceptional handling on the tarmac. Available as a standalone frame for those who prefer to spec and assemble their own bike, an additional Enve component bundle is available.

We also offer a fully assembled, ready to ride machine featuring a curated selection of our favorite high-performance components. This includes a full Enve road build kit, deep-section carbon wheelset, SRAM AXS wireless electronic shifting, and a custom finish logo. Additionally, we offer a titanium accessory kit that can be color-matched to the frame logo, giving your bike an extra touch of style.

The SC-R incorporates the game-changing 3D printing technology pioneered in our fully custom models, all hand-made and meticulously finished at the Sturdy Cycles workshop in Frome, Somerset. Optimized for versatility the frame can accommodate a maximum tire size of 35mm on 700c rims. The durable titanium frame and integrated mudguard mounting points to make this bike an ideal all-weather road bike.

While fully capable of being configured for speed, its core DNA is finely tuned for a more relaxed, endurance-friendly experience - the perfect blend of performance and comfort. A relatively low bottom bracket offsets the increased tyre sizes that are commonplace on road builds, maintaining good stability at speed without the loss of the agility expected of a road bike. The SC-R is designed to satisfy the needs and tastes of most enthusiastic club riders.

Each frame is hand made and finished to order, lead times are approximately 6-8 weeks based on stock levels. Once a customer has placed an order, Tom and Jack will begin the manufacturing process.
