Perfect balance of speed and comfort. Scott's 2015 CR1 30 is ideal for long, casual Sunday morning rides. For 2015, the Scott CR1 30 Road Bike has been redesigned to absorb shock and vibrations, promoting a smoother, more enjoyable ride.
Since its inception way back in 2003 - where it was the lightest frame available at just 895g - the CR1 has been a popular choice for pros and enthusiasts alike. Since 2003, the CR1's IMP Carbon frame has been improved time and time again, with the 2015 version being the finest model to date. Today it sits below Scott's premium lines yet with its bargain price gets you a modern, high spec carbon bike for the same price as most alloy bikes.
The Scott CR1 30 Road Bike may be the entry level of the CR1 but there's really nothing entry level about this great bike. With a well regarded geometry and carbon layup combined with a tasteful Team inspired paint job, its a bike worth lusting after.
Previously the Sora groupset would put you off the CR1 30 but Shimano's latest incarnation in 9 speeds offers every bit of the refinement and class of it's flagship groups. With full STI levers putting braking and shifting at your finger tips combined with crisp shifting mechs, the Sora Drivetrain is everything you could want and need.
Completing the Scott CR1 30 is a selection of finishing kit from their own in-house brand Syncros. With every part tailored to the CR1 30 in house, this finishing kit perfectly compliments the character of the CR1 30 resulting in a fine tuned package which will provide years of riding enjoyment.
CR1 Carbon IMP Frame Boasts a Blend of Comfort, Performance, and Value Unmatched by Other Frames
Shimano Sora 18 Speed Groupset Provides Plenty of Range With Slick Shifting Worthy of a Premium Frame
Low Weight of 8.58kg is Light and Doesn't Compromise on Stiffness or Comfort

At this level of bike, the wheels are going to be just as important, if not more, as the groupset, I wonder how these three bikes compare, I know when I slapped a pair of Fulcrums onto my titanium bike (although slightly lighter than these) and it felt like a different machine.
I honestly find it hard to believe Sora offers anywhere near the refinement of the other Shimano flagship groupsets, but you couldn't expect it, at a price, not much higher than the Halfords Carreras.

Wheels are the one thing that all bike manufacturers skimp on, you won't get good wheels on any sub £1k bike.
If you want good wheels include them in your budget and sell the ones that come with the bike to help fund them.

Not quite full Ultegra groupset but a lot of bike for the money
