As nobody at the company seem to answer my e-mail, can anybody tell me the difference between last years Dolan Ares and this years Ares SL?

Thanks

    This is th only info I could find,

    Dolan were displaying updated Ares SL, Hercules SL and Tuono SL bikes. All three now have a tapered seat tube which gets beefier towards the bottom bracket shell and is said to improve frame stiffness.

    Geometry is also different, on the 54 the headtube is 185mm on the SL whereas its 165mm on the older version.

    I really want a new SL with Ui2 and cosmic carbonne SLR's.
    Obsessed is a word used by the lazy to describe the dedicated!

    There's a guy on the Your Road Bikes section with an SL. He might know

    I've been commenting on a few Dolan threads today, I'm in the same boat, trying to scratch around for info as their site is not helpful.

    Anyway, models with 'SL' after them all seem to have a full carbon fork, including steerer. Non SL models have an alloy steerer.
