Fore CR3 2011

OVERVIEW

Whether you are riding a century, doing a triathlon, or racing, it has the responsiveness and suppleness that sets it apart from anything you've ridden before.

Start with a proprietary Fezzari Racing Design XR5 3K monocoque carbon frame that was recently tested as one of the most durable frames on the market. We have enlarged the bottom bracket shell to make it even stiffer laterally but we increased vertical flex make it a more supple ride. Basically, it feels like it's on rails in the corners. And it weighs only 900 grams.

All this translates into exhilaration when you’re climbing – knowing that you’re ascending more efficiently – and confidence on the downhill when you take that corner at high speeds. Our proprietrary frame painting process allows the frame to have a transparent finish.

The Foré CR3 comes with Shimano Dura Ace and Ultegra components (brakes, shifters, etc.), FSA carbon crank with external bearings, titanium saddle rails, carbon seat post, and carbon handlebars.

You get the following upgrades over the CR2:

1. Upgraded Rear Derailleur – you go one step up on Shimano’s derailleurs to 7900 Dura Ace (the top of the line) from Shimano Ultegra. It will shift a little smoother and is a little lighter.
2. Upgraded Frame – you get the Xr5 frame which uses a lighter weigh carbon fiber weave.
3. Upgraded Crankset – from FSA Gossamer to FSA SLK Light, which has carbon crankarms that are lighter and stiffer. The bottom bracket set is a little lighter and refined, too.
4. Upgraded Chainrings – from FSA Gossamer to FSA SLK, which are lighter.
5. Upgraded Handlebars – from aluminum bars to FSA K-Force shallow drop full carbon bars.  these help soak up the road vibrations for a more comfortable ride.
6. Upgraded Wheelset – from Shimano RS10 to Mavic Ksyrium Equipe, which are lighter, stiffer and roll much quicker.

When you get a Foré CR3, we custom fit it for you through our 23-Point Custom Setup program. We’ll get all your vitals so we can outfit your bike to fit you perfectly.  Your car will be jealous you are spending more time with your bike.
