If you're as serious about road riding as you are about gram-for-gram value, nothing comes close to the Cavalo Squadra Dura-Ace road bike. Featuring a state-of-the-art carbon fiber frame and fork, the absolutely sublime Shimano Dura-Ace 9000 11-speed mechanical groupset, Zipp Service Course SL bars, stem, and seatpost, plus rock-steady Shimano RS61 wheels, this feather-light carbon creation begs to be pushed to its limits.

They're ubiquitous in the professional peloton and with good reason as mechanical groups just don't get any better. The shifting is other-worldly smooth and precise via the dual control levers and derailleurs. The crankset, featuring Shimano's new four-arm construction, is lighter and stiffer than ever. The Cavalo Squadra features standard 53/39T chainrings, but the beauty of the new design is that the bolt circle is the same for standard sized and compact chainrings.
