MegamoPulse SLR
Megamo's redesigned aero race bike for 2027, shown here in its top SLR (Super Light Race) carbon layup. The frame, fork and one-piece Velora carbon cockpit were shaped together with fully hidden cables, and drag work targeted crosswinds of 2.5 to 10 degrees. It moves to a T47 bottom bracket and UDH hanger, clears 34 mm tyres and Megamo claims a 924 g size M frame (ready to paint).

Our verdict
Overall
out of 100, average of 6 categories
A freshly redesigned aero race bike with a one-piece cockpit, T47 and UDH, sold with strong builds at fair prices. Megamo gives no drag numbers, the frame isn't especially light, and each size comes with a single bar and stem size.

Design
Megamo quotes 234 N/mm of bottom bracket stiffness (27% more than the previous Pulse), 150 Nm/deg at the head tube and 53 N/mm at the rear triangle, measured to its own protocol. It also lowered the bottom bracket and steepened the seat angle against the previous generation, and keeps 410 mm chainstays.
SourceAerodynamics
TOUR quotes the Velora cockpit at 320 g from launch material, while Megamo's product page now lists 295 g (ready to paint).
SourceFit
Megamo sets a maximum permitted weight of 110 kg for its carbon bicycles in its warranty terms.
SourceRacing
The UCI approved-frames list (version 2026.10.02) has a Megamo 'PULSE' approved on 11 June 2024 (XS-XL, code MEGAMO-002), which predates this generation; no separate entry for the MY27 frame appears, so UCI approval of this generation isn't confirmed here.
SourceHistory
TOUR and BIKE magazine reported the new Pulse for model year 2027 on 28 July 2026, as a nine-model range in SLR and SL carbon from €3,499 to €9,999.
SourceVersions
Megamo still lists the previous-generation 2026 Pulse models on the same page; their geometry and parts differ (for example a 69 mm BB drop and different cockpit widths).
