The naked version is particularly effective in showing the quality in the finish of the carbon surface. The totally new roadracer SL01 carbon frame provides optimum comfort, performance and easy handling with its aerodynamic design lines.

This is emphasized to great effect with the integration of key components, such as the fork manufactured entirely from carbon and the clever Streampost 73.5 seatpost.

The large display screen simultaneously displays speed, cadence, heart rate, and time information. Working on the latest 2.4 GHz digital data transmission frequency, the sleek one-piece speed/cadence sensor virtually eliminates interference and cross talk from other computers.

Keep track of you training with up to 99 lap recordings, and 14 automatically saved file recordings. Each file contains the complete set of ride data from the last time the computer was reset so you can easily manage your workouts.

The included FlexTight bracket easily mounts to almost any handlebar or stem and the V3 will automatically recognize a second sensor if you choose to use it on more than one bike.
