SAVA Blade R8 2025

High-mileage riders welcome! The BLADE R8 is a staple in the SAVA lineup, favoured by those who are committed to riding long, riding often, or riding long often.

A Shimano Ultegra Di2 2x12-speed drivetrain takes the BLADE R8 beyond the R7 with a lighter, more refined component package engineered for riders who demand performance mile after mile. Fast, precise electronic shifting is paired with an Ultegra R8100 50/34T crankset, an 11-34T cassette and Ultegra hydraulic disc brakes, delivering responsive power transfer and confident control at race pace.

Built on an aero-optimized premium carbon platform, the R8 pairs speed with the durability needed for high-mileage riding. 50mm DB50 carbon wheels deliver aerodynamic efficiency and responsive acceleration, while Continental Grand Prix 28mm tires provide a fast, confident connection to the road. A carbon aero handlebar, carbon seatpost, Fizik F214 saddle and T47 threaded bottom bracket complete its premium, performance-focused build.

More refined. More responsive. Built for more miles.
