The new Boardman Elite Air 9.8 TT Frameset has been developed using the latest CFD and wind tunnel technology and with the Ironman World Championship Title in Hawaii already under its belt, the Boardman team's hard work has clearly paid off.

Aerodynamic Racing
The new AiR 9.8 TT frameset, incorporating CFD and wind tunnel developed tube profiles for real world conditions, internal brake and cables hidden from airflow, all results in a world-class TT/Tri frame paltform proven on the world's biggest stage - helping to steer Pete Jacobs to the Ironman World Championship Title in Hawaii.

Frame highlights;
- New AiR/TT Aerodynamic Racing frame, fork, brakes and seatpost - Full high modulus carbon fibre monocoque construction
- CFD & Wind tunnel developed tube profiles for real world conditions
- Down tube, seat tube and seatpost shaped for maximized airflow and reduced wind resistance in real world head and cross wind conditions
- Internal front brake is hidden within the fork structure to maximise clean air around the front of the frame
- Rear brake is hidden under the BB to further maximise clean air at the rear of the frame
- Forks and seat stays have flat inside and curved outside surfaces for enhanced airflow interaction between the frame and wheel. This is further enhanced when using deep section wheels
- 4 position seat post to ensure that riding position can be dialled from 76°-79° for either TT or Triathlon disciplines
- Mould design incorporates one piece PF30 bottom bracket and optimized oversize box section chainstays with steep taper at dropout for maximized power transfer and strength
- Carefully considered full internal cable routing with entry point behind the headtube for further airflow enhancement and clean lines
- Stable, precise geometry to cope will all race situations
- Full carbon fork with tapered fork steerer for increased stiffness and steering precision
- Mechanical and Di2 compatible cable routing

About Road Frames

Road frames have come a long way in recent years with new advancements in technology and materials. Carbon fibre, aluminium and titanium are all widely used now as well as the more traditional steel tubesets. They all have their own advantages: aluminium offers good performance at a reasonable price, titanium offers ultimate performance at a premium price while carbon fibre offers superb comfort and performance at intermediate cost. It is not uncommon for the materials to be mixed to give the benefits of all the materials in one frame - a carbon fibre rear end on an aluminium frame, for example. Here at Wiggle we list a selection of road frames to suit most budgets, from the affordable aluminium frames right up to the technically advanced carbon and titanium frames from leading manufacturers.
