    Fezzari Empire SL

    As a direct-to-consumer brand, Fezzari has always provided a huge overall value. Over time, their engineering has significantly improved, so much that industry curmudgeons are being won over. Now, the brand is taking aim at the ideal road bike for the masses — the all-new Fezzari Empire SL.

    Using MonoForm construction, the Empire SL’s carbon layup is done in one fell swoop as a single mold. That process is only used by an exclusive group of frames and it results in a a consistent layup with the cleanest carbon compaction I’ve seen. With that optimization, the ride quality is said to be superb and the frame weight is an astounding 815 grams (56cm). That’s bonkers light for a disc-brake frame that’s built to exceed XC mountain bike testing standards.

    This new bike offers clearance for 32mm tires and will come in various flavors priced from $1800-$7500.
