SLF stand for Smoothest, Lightest, Fastest. And they deliver big time!<\/p>\n<p>I discovered SLF Motion in 2021 as I was searching for ways to make those marginal gains that can make the difference on race day. Over-sized pulley wheels (OSPW) and a ceramic bottom bracket for my new triathlon bike were a priority. There are other bigger names in this space, but, as I compared products and read reviews, I knew SLF Motion was for me! What sealed the deal was, when I called SLF Motion, Blake Young, the founder and CEO, answered the phone.<\/p>\n<p>Since I made the switch from traditional pulley wheels and bottom brackets, I\u2019ve noticed an increase in my <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17070 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.drjimtaylor.com\/4.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/SLF-1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"203\" height=\"152\" \/>wattage during both indoor and outdoor training rides with no increase in perceived effort. With SLF Motion, I actually feel that my cycling is \u201cSmoother, Lighter, and Faster\u201d (plus, the OSPW just looks cool and, psychologically, I just feel faster!).<\/p>\n<p>In 2024, I earned my 2nd National Age-group Championship and became a 3x World Championship medalist in triathlon riding SLF Motion components. Every race came down to seconds and I believe that SLF Motion technology made the difference.<\/p>\n<p>So, next time you\u2019re in the market for drivetrain upgrades, I encourage you to look at <a href=\"https:\/\/slfmotion.com\/\">SLF Motion<\/a> first.<\/p>\n<p>And check out my\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/drjimtaylor.com\/4.0\/Partners\/\">Partners<\/a>\u00a0page on my website to learn more about my other world-class partners.<\/p>\n<p>Disclaimer: I gain no direct financial benefit from your buying my partners\u2019 products.
