Overview
About this bike
Guru's Photon v.4 is their to;entry-levelto; frame, but one look and you'll see that there is nothing lowbrow about its finish, details, and above all, ride quality. It all starts with their T700-grade carbon. Then by the hands of master builders, they turn that raw material into a gorgeous work of art that ends up weighing only 850 grams for a 54cm frame. Knowing that breathtakingly low weight is nothing without stiffness, Guru fortified this high-modulus carbon masterpiece with superb power transfer and world-class efficiency, while also tuning the carbon in all the right places for a smooth, sublime ride. That ride is only enhanced by Shimano's smooth Ultegra shifting. It's matched with feathery, carbon Reynolds wheels that soar up the climbs. Rider contact points are covered by a sleek, supportive Prologo saddle and Ritchey WCS components for excellent ergonomics and high-mileage comfort.
