"Built on their full-carbon Seigla frame with 3rd gen leaf-sprung fork, the Ultimate R dials up the build with a few key upgrades from the standard Ultimate build, including: Fizik Vento Argo R3 Adaptive Saddle (140mm) Zipp 303 XPLR SW Hookless wheels Goodyear Peak SL Race 2.25″ MTB tires The addition of a 3D-printed saddle is a nice touch, and Fizik's are very comfortable."
"Those tires are Goodyear's fastest XC tread and come in at just 685g and 57mm wide. Admittedly, that's a bit heavier than the 50mm-wide 610g Connector Inter Race tires that come on the other builds, but you're gaining another 7mm of tire width with the 2.25's. So, yes, they're making the most of Zipp's ultra-wide rims and the Seigla's generous tire clearance here. If you've got a rough, windy course on the schedule, this might be the right combo."
"The Ultimate R gets SRAM's latest 13-speed Red XPLR AXS group w/ dual-leg power meter spider, their Smoothie handlebar, and carbon FSA seatpost. Complete bike weight is ~8.48 kg / 18.69 lbs (claimed average for size medium), retail is $7,290. That's just $210 more than the Ultimate, which, FWIW, is less than the aftermarket cost of upgrading just the saddle."
