Sidhe

£8750
(Ex VAT)
An aero focussed road bike.
Description

(Pronounced ‘Seed’) 

The name of this bike refers to the Old Irish mythology of the Sidhe people. A race of mysterious spirits that held power over all the mysteries of nature. Often their presence was indicated by a swift wind whipped up as if from nowhere. It is this wind that we had in mind when naming our aerodynamic road bike. Designed in tandem with Éimear our dedicated time trial bike and benefitting from the same simulated and real world testing. 

Tom’s background in triathlon, time trial racing and wind tunnel testing is the genesis of this model - Sidhe is designed to slice through the air and ride with the wind. 

The tubing on this bike is a departure from the classic rounded tubing profile of our Road and Gravel focused framesets. This change is driven by Tom’s specific area of interest in aerodynamics. Contemporary bicycle manufacturers often focus on reducing drag by increasing tubing depth. Tom’s specific focus is reducing frontal area as this contributes hugely to aerodynamic drag. In response to this concern the bike is notably slimmer than our standard road model. The 3D printed head tube and seat tube junctions share a slim form factor which blends with the custom ellipse shaped Ti tubing. 

Sidhe is tested and proven to give you an aero advantage - whether you’re chasing KOMs or hitting PBs this bike will whisk you along the road as you ride with elements.
