Handsling A1ROevoG. A go anywhere aero gravel bike.

I bought my first Handsling over 10 years ago and since then I have bought four bikes from them in total. I have had extensive contact with Simon and his team over the years, both by e mail and in person at their showroom / workshop, and they have been consistently helpful and supportive.
They are genuine, straight forward guys who love cycling and are experts in what they do. If you are looking for a road, track or grave bike I would absolutely recommend Handsling.
My most recent purchase was a A1ROevoG, kitted out with SRAM Force 1x13, Parcours FKT gravel specific wheels and 45mm Challenge tyres, and having ridden it all over Surrey, Kent and bike packing in the Basque Country it has been tested on gravel, road, single track, sand and some old fashioned downhill mountain bike trails and been awesome on all of it. The fit and comfort is similar to my A1ROevoS but with a longer geometry so that even though it is an aero frame it handles the off road without loosing any speed or comfort. It is quick on tarmac and so far I have not found anything off road that it could not tackle.
My recent five day bike packing trip in Northern Spain, carrying luggage (the various mounting points are super useful) went off without a hitch. As tends to be the way, by about day 3 the bike was getting
a hammering that I am slightly ashamed of, especially on some of the rocky down hill sections, but it performed amazingly well.
Big thanks to the team at Handsling. Been riding your bikes for over 10 years and you've never let me down.

Carbon Seat Rails Cleat Accessory Options

I appreciate that Handsling Bikes has options for their track and road bikes that allow you to optimize the set-up that works best for you. I do wish that there was a better option for the shipping charges on small items instead of the FedEx $35.00 fee as even a slightly slower shipping option like Royal/USPS combination Mail would be fine in my opinion.

Superb bike

Superb bike! Easy buying experience with sound advice offered in a not in the slightest pushy way!

Bought 2 wheelsets for road and gravel. Bike is fast on any surface. Used the road wheelset for Celtman triathlon. 200k and 2000m of ascent. Then used the gravel wheelset on the Cairngorm loop a few days later. Very comfortable riding.

Overall, absolutely delighted with my bike

Awesome bike

Awesome bike - A1R0evo-G. Professional process, and bike fitted first time. Collected in person and smiles took the time to show me around. Great experience that builds confidence in the product. Looks great, performs brilliantly. My new bike of choice.

Love my new TST Revo TT bike in…

Love my new TST Revo TT bike in Titanium. Support during the whole process was great (I had lots of questions as this was my first TT purchase).
The bike itself is great and it’s made a big difference to my 70.3 triathlon and 10km time trial times. Once I got used to riding it and had a proper bike fit it’s got the perfect balance of speed and comfort.
I got the SRAM Rival group set and Parcours Chrono 68/75 wheels with Pirelli P Zero 30mm tyres which I really like.
Overall highly recommend the bike and the service

Fantastic bike and buying experience

Fantastic bike and buying experience. They were able to colour match exactly the colours I wanted.
I was kept informed throughout the build, and the bike arrived well packed and looking awesome.
Then when I rode it, it was fantastic, i immediately noticed how much faster it rolled. It was like getting free speed without putting anymore effort it. I highly recommend.

Try one, you’ll like it!

I bought a used Air0Evo (sorry but cost of living crisis a real thing!) - after a test ride at Handsling I realised it was a better bike (stiff, comfortable, useful tyre clearance, sensible geometry etc) than any of the big name race bike competitors I had test ridden. Followed up with a trip to some replacement parts. All parts held in stock and on both visits a friendly welcome and helpful advice. I’d recommend to anybody - don’t watch the industry shill YouTube stuff and test ride one of these, I doubt you’d be disappointed.

The bike is good, service is awful

The bike is good, the customer service is terrible. Received loads of different progress updates. All lies. The bike hasn’t even gone to paint by the time I was assured I’d have it in my hands. Then on their revised paint day it, what a shock, got moved. They charge hu dress for shipping light parts and if you dare ask a question they’ll answer you without actually supplying an answer, and rudely. It was easier and more cost effective to buy a brand new lotus motor yesterday.
