Bottom line
As the “SL” acronym implies, the Fuji SL and SL-A were designed to be super-light road bikes, and they continue to be some of the lightest at their price points. Both the SL and SL-A's frame geometry hasn’t changed much in the past seven years, creating an aggressive racing posture that’s still balanced enough for most riders. However, the stock wheels do bring with them a slight weight penalty, so riders looking to shave off more grams may think about upgrading, or finding lighter models.Expert Reviews
