Moulton SPEED frame details: Moulton leading link front fork (threadless only, all stainless steel) Unified rear triangle with Flexitor (rubber) pivot and Hydrolastic fluid-damped rear spring Supplied with Campagnolo Record threadless headset (1”) 68mm BSC bottom bracket shell Brake drop – for 49/50mm drop racing calipers, recessed bolts (no mudguard clearance) In standard ‘complete bicycle’ specification the Moulton SPEED is equipped with Campagnolo Super Record components, Moulton ‘M’ lightweight hubs and 10-28t cassette, ‘M’ in-line seat pillar and ‘M’ handlebar stem in Reynolds 953. Moulton SPEED can be returned to ‘as-new’ condition with the application of metal polish.
With no paint to scratch, peel or crack, the Every joint is silver-brazed, and the entire frameset is laboriously polished to a mirror finish. The Moulton SPEED is built, meticulously, by dedicated craftsmen at Moulton’s Bradford on Avon factory in Wiltshire. The time-honoured combination of the low aerodynamic drag, the rapid acceleration afforded by the small wheels, the low rolling resistance and the superlative comfort of the well-proven Moulton suspension, make the Moulton SPEED a perfect choice for the performance-orientated Sportive rider as well as those who just want to go out for a blast round the lanes. The distinctive spaceframe design – stronger and stiffer than conventional diamond frames – is constructed entirely from stainless steels, including the latest Columbus XCR and Reynolds 953 materials. Mainframe (centre section) weight is only 900g (AM SPEED, for comparison, is 1400g).
The new Moulton SPEED is the first production Moulton bicycle to weigh in at less than 20lb (9.1kg) – quite some feat for a fullsuspension road bike. An agressive riding position, adjustable leading link front/Hydrolastic rear Moulton suspension and a sub-9kg weight make the all-stainless steel Moulton SPEED the perfect choice for performance-orientated Sportive riders.
