Unveiling the Winspace SLC 5.0: The Ultimate All-Terrain Road Bike Frameset
At JediCycleSport, we’re thrilled to introduce the Winspace SLC 5.0, crowned the “All-Terrain Master” at Eurobike 2025. This groundbreaking road bike frameset redefines performance, blending ultralight construction, aerodynamic efficiency, and unparalleled versatility. Whether you’re a climber chasing KOMs, a sprinter hunting podiums, or an adventurer tackling mixed surfaces, the SLC 5.0 is engineered to elevate your ride. Let’s dive into what makes this frameset a game-changer and why it’s a must-have for serious cyclists.
A Featherweight Powerhouse
Weighing in at just 705g (unpainted, size M), the SLC 5.0 is among the lightest frames in Winspace’s lineup, rivaling high-end models like the Specialized S-Works SL8 at a fraction of the cost. Crafted with a premium blend of Toray T800, T1100, M65, and M46 carbon fiber, the frame (705g), fork (351g), and seatpost (115g) deliver an exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio. This makes the SLC 5.0 a dream for climbers, offering effortless ascents without sacrificing power transfer for sprints or descents.
“The SLC 5.0 feels like a pure climbing machine but handles like an aero race bike. It’s the best of both worlds.” – JediCycleSport Team
Aerodynamic Edge for Every Ride
Tested in the prestigious Silverstone wind tunnel and Japan’s Fuji Aero Performance Center, the SLC 5.0 boasts a 0.011 CdA reduction compared to its predecessor, the SLC 3.0, translating to a 16.5-watt savings at 48km/h. This aerodynamic efficiency, inspired by the Winspace T1600’s sharp head tube and proprietary aero seatpost, ensures you cut through the wind with minimal effort, making it ideal for competitive races or fast group rides.
The frameset’s Finite Element Method (FEM) optimized carbon layup enhances stiffness in critical areas like the head tube and bottom bracket, delivering responsive power transfer, while the rear triangle provides just enough compliance for comfort on long rides. Whether you’re attacking a steep climb or powering through a flat sprint, the SLC 5.0 responds instantly.
Versatility Meets Performance
Unlike traditional climbing frames, the SLC 5.0 is designed for all-terrain mastery. With 700x32C tire clearance, it handles everything from smooth tarmac to light gravel, making it perfect for riders who want a single bike for diverse conditions. The balanced geometry (available in XS, S, M, L, XL; 440/460/480/510/540mm) combines aggressive race-ready handling with stability, thanks to an optimized front trail and a BSA threaded bottom bracket for easy maintenance.
The SLC 5.0 also features fully internal cable routing (compatible with Di2, SRAM eTap, and Campy EPS) and sealed thru-axles (Front: M12 P1.0 114L, Rear: M12 P1.0 163L) for a clean, aero look and reliable performance. The UDH derailleur hanger ensures compatibility with modern groupsets, making it a bike-builder’s dream.
Limited Edition Style
Style meets exclusivity with the SLC 5.0’s finish options. Choose from Black/White Decal, Black/Gold Decal, White, or the ultra-exclusive Mirage and Jungle paint finishes—limited to just 100 units worldwide (50 online, 50 offline). Each limited edition comes with a numbered sticker (e.g., 3/100), adding a unique touch to your build. Act fast, as these finishes will be discontinued once sold out!
Why the SLC 5.0 Stands Out
The SLC 5.0 builds on the legacy of the ultralight SLC 3.0, which was praised for its climbing prowess but critiqued for lacking rear-end compliance compared to top-tier frames like the Specialized Tarmac SL8. Winspace listened, refining the SLC 5.0’s rear triangle for improved comfort without compromising stiffness. At £2,050.00, it delivers performance that punches well above its price, offering 80-90% of the ride quality of frames costing twice as much.
