World class performance.    At just 15.8 pounds as shown with cages and alloy wheels,  this Exalt will help you get up the mountain in record time, and help you extend your lead with a great descent! 

This Exalt features a top tier carbon frame with tube-to-tube construction,  SAS vibration control, and an amazing blend of top components selected to give you all the power and speed to hang with tour pros!  

This lightly used demo bike looks new - as it has been serviced to look and ride like a new bike !  New seat post, saddle, bar etc.  Though it is used, you would be hard pressed to tell it's not new.  

You start out with the exceptional Exalt frame, featuring top carbon and constructed with a tube-to-tube style for light weight, and top performance !  The aero bladed forks have a full 1.5 " lower for instant steering response, and the internal cabling is fully guided, so you don't have any noise or rattles from cables or housing inside the frame.  The frame also features Sampson's SAS vibration control, helping you stay fresher every ride, but especially on those long days.  

The Exalt is clearly at the world-tour level in weight and performance, the great thing about the Exalt is that it is great as a daily rider.   Forget about fiddly stuff, squeaking bottom brackets, or headsets that need lots of attention.  The Exalt has alloy drop-outs, a replaceable alloy derailleur hanger, a standard 68 English threaded bb, and also alloy races in the head tube !  Sure, it adds grams back in, but the trade-off for a rider who doesn't have a team car and mechanic is HUGE!   And, if you want to be a UCI weight outlaw, there are countless carbon wheel offerings that will take out almost a pound instantly! 

More speed is yours with the use of the top race grade Sampson components, starting with the SL cranks!  These carbon cranks feature a full carbon layup over an aluminum skeleton, for high strength, perfect alignment, and very light weight!  The integral titanium bb shaft is also light, and it spins on its own high-speed bearings (and is also Shimano bb compatible).  The machined 50/34 rings are pinned and ramped.   The 11 speed Ultegra shifters and derailleurs also provide almost instant, effortless shifting.  

This SL version features the Stratics 35 bars with the integral 35 stem, for a control system that lets you generate more power for sprints and climbs,  is aero shaped, and light!  The 35's have a shallow drop so you are able to spin away miles in comfort too!  

Another special touch on this bike are the Stratics SL brakes!  The SL's are more than just a cool red color. They start with cold-forged aluminum arms for high strength, and then spend a bunch of time on the CNC machine where the cutters take away any extra material.   The arms are then polished, and given a red anno finish for a great looking accent  Those pad holders?  They don't just look like carbon, they are molded carbon!     The dual -pivot SL's deliver great feel and modulation at exotic-part level weights, but maintain all the ease-of use features you want to have for ease of use and dependability!   

In a world of marginal gains, this SL takes a machete to whack off weight.  You won't have any problem going toe to toe with anything costing literally thousands of dollars more.  

The Vuelta Corsa Light wheels are right at home for training or racing.  While they are little known, these wheels use awesome Japanese made bearings, bladed spokes, and are around 1600 g.  All you need to do to make this Exalt cross into the super-exotic range is swap wheels with something like a Zipp 202, and you instantly drop into the 14 pound range!

If you are looking for world-class performance, a great ride, and everyday serviceability, this Exalt is ready!
