Leader is the lightest and most versatile road bike with disc brakes ever produced by Olympia. With minimal, clean lines, and painstakingly honed down to the smallest detail, it has been designed for those who spend many hours in the saddle and expect comfort, rigidity, easy riding control and advanced aerodynamic solutions. Internally, three different types of Toray carbon fibre are combined: T1000, M40J and T800. To build this frame, Olympia has used the EPS technology with latex double mould, that produces a perfectly smooth finish completely free of excess material inside the frame. This results in a more compact, lighter and more rigid layup. The fork rake has been reduced to 42mm. The 1-1/2 x 1-1/2 steering system is solid and reliable. The cables are concealed, except in setups with a mechanical gear shifter. For all setups, a single cable inlet has been adopted in the top part of the slanted tube. Leader is available in a wide range of sizes, and in colour patterns with black-metallic-silver, black-dark blue and black-red shades optional.

Olympia
Olympia was among the first to introduce Hydroforming (metal forming technology using extremely high water pressure) in the manufacture of frames for road bikes, just as it was also among the first to adopt compound materials.
The sophisticated design of the ultra-light frames is now seen alongside beautiful and sturdy bikes, destined for the amateur public. The road models have grown with time, bringing the brand from medium to high and through to top of the range. And after 120 years, frames such as the new LEADER make the Olympia star shine in the skies of the greatest.
Innovative design, tapered steering, PressFitâ„¢ bottom bracket, top quality compound materials such as T1000 (T stands for Toray, the best and largest Japanese manufacturer of composite fibres in the world) or high module UD: Olympia chooses the best to offer only the best.
