Guru 2015 CR.701 XXL DURA-ACE DI2 Group set Pro Custom Build

This lightly used Ironman race bike, with minimal transport blemishes, showcases Guru's expertise in creating a triathlon-specific speed machine. The Guru CR.701, built for the serious enthusiast, boasts a high-modulus, handmade carbon fibre frame from Canada. Measuring 61cm, it's perfect for riders between 6' and 6'5", offering an incredibly lightweight yet robust construction. It features a top-tier Shimano DI2 Dura Ace Groupset, complemented by Rotor QXL cranks and a Quarq power meter, ensuring precise power transfer and performance. The bike is equipped with Zip aero bars and Hed Ardennes race wheels for optimal aerodynamics and speed. Originally assembled by IFIX bikes in NYC, the frame alone was valued at $5200, with the components adding up to $4060, bringing the total investment to $10,760.
Ideal for those who appreciate the nuances of a high-quality carbon TT/Tri bike, the Guru CR.701 stands out with its balance of stiffness for power transfer and compliance for comfort, a testament to North American craftsmanship. It borrows the aero profile from the flagship Guru CR.901, yet offers a more accessible version without compromising on performance. This model uses a unique fabrication process to optimize the frame's structure, enhancing both the aerodynamic properties and the riding experience. Despite its competitive pricing, the Guru CR.701 delivers on aspects often missed by mass-produced frames: exceptional build quality, tailored geometry, and a ride that balances efficiency with comfort.
