The Sika is a high-performance road bike designed for real-world riders seeking speed, comfort, and versatility. Combining lightweight construction, stiffness, and aerodynamic efficiency with relaxed geometry and clearance for 40mm tyres, it’s built for all-day rides on varied terrain. Created in response to the overly race-focused nature of modern bikes, the Sika offers top-tier performance without compromising practicality or rideability.

Key Features

690g frame weight, size M
40mm tyre clearance
Sika one-piece cockpit
T47 bottom bracket and Universal Derailleur Hanger
27.2mm round seatpost with traditional external clamp

Handling

One word sums up the Sika’s handling – confidence. It’s precise, stable and planted, whether on a fast Alpine descent or broken back roads. We gave the Sika the same dynamic and assertive handling that is a hallmark of our custom bikes, with short trail and longer chainstays.

Lightness

The Sika frame weighs 690g in size M, placing it among the very lightest in the world for a bike with 40mm tyre clearance and aero optimisation. A sub-7kg build, with pedals, is easily achievable with no extreme components.

Ride quality

The Sika is a bike to ride all day on all roads. The rear triangle is closely derived from our custom bikes, where it’s well proven to ride with velvet smoothness. Add to that, a 27.2mm diameter seatpost that’s able to deflect over bumps, a compliant fork, and capacity for tyres up to 40mm and the result is a bike that floats over bad roads.

This smoothness is achieved without sacrificing performance thanks to the very high grades of carbon fibre used and tireless development to get the best from them. The frame shapes play a key role, too. The aggressively truncated profile of the downtube delivers the lightness, comfort and stiffness of a round tube, with the aero
benefits of an airfoil. The bottom bracket shell is maximised upwards and in width to boost stiffness in this key area.

Aero

While the Sika is not an outright aero bike for racing, it is aero-optimised to reduce drag without compromising ride quality or lightness. The tube shapes are derived from proven NACA profiles with truncated airfoils – like a tapered D-shape – which are very effective at reducing drag while preserving lightness and ride quality.
