Pearson Hammer & Tongs

Inspired by the tools of the trade of our founder, Tom Pearson, the new Hammerandtongs is made from durable, lightweight, high-modulus carbon. Updates to the 2021 edition mean the new ‘Hammer’ (Mk. 6) has plenty in common with Minegoestoeleven, our flagship carbon road machine. So, while it features Pearson’s higher front end for comfort, we’ve improved frame gains, thanks to aero redesigns of the down tube, seat tube/seat post, head tube and forks.

We’ve also updated the seat stays, so they now run from the seat tube to the drop outs, providing uninterrupted flex for both shock absorption and a cleaner, aero profile. The all new Hammer has a two-piece, integrated bar, as well as fully integrated cables. Gearing is available in a range of options, from the excellent Shimano 105, to high-performance Ultegra mechanical.

Hammerandtongs has clearance for 700×32 tyres with an excellent option in DCR wheels, handbuilt on sealed bearing alloy hubs with 30mm depth tubeless ready alloy rims.

Shimano Ultegra hydraulic brakes guarantee efficient, reliable stopping.

 

• Please note that specification may vary due to availability of parts – we will, of course, make you aware of any changes.
