Raleigh unveils model year 2015 bikes

Criterium added to performance range, expanded Revenio range now includes disc options

The all-new Criterium range is designed to offer a bike equally suitable for a racing machine or as a high-end sportive offering, with a more relaxed geometry than the Militis.

The Criterium Race is the top-end model in Raleigh’s addition to their performance range

At the top of the range stands the Criterium Race, dressed in Shimano’s Ultegra groupset, FSA Energy chainset and FSA Gossamer brake set, which costs £1,600.

The frame is built with Raleigh’s Endurance blend monocoque carbon frame, with a carbon composite fork – which is repeated through the Comp and Elite models.

Internal cable routing is a common feature on Raleigh’s top-end performance bikes, with all except the Militis Comp and Militis Elite making use of the innovation

Second-from-top in the rage is the Comp, which uses Shimano’s new 22-speed 105 groupset, Shimano brakes and FSA Omega chainset and will set you back £1,300.

The Elite, meanwhile, is dressed with Shimano’s 18-speed Sora groupset and is cheapest of the new range at a nice, round £1,000.
