The KhodaaBloom FARNA SL2, re-released as a 2026 model, is an ideal "hard-to-go-wrong" bike for anyone looking to get into road cycling.

With all-rounder performance, an excellent balance of lightness and ease of handling, it covers everything from the joy of riding fast to casual long-distance rides.

Furthermore, its reliable specifications, centered around Shimano components, and wide range of position adjustments make it a bike that even beginners can ride with confidence for a long time.

Its ease of riding stood out during test rides at the exhibition, and I truly felt it was worthy of being called a "first road bike."

2026 Model "FARNA SL2" | A New Standard for Orthodox Aluminum Road Bikes

The KhodaaBloom "FARNA SL2" has returned as a 2026 model.

While retaining the FARNA SL series name, it is a "newly reborn model" with completely redesigned frame and geometry. It's a completely different entity from past FARNA SL models and even the 2025 FARNA series.

Its ride is truly that of an all-rounder aluminum road bike. It's neither a racing bike aiming for ultra-light weight nor an endurance model specialized for long rides. It offers a balanced combination of lightness and ease of handling, making it a versatile bike that can handle a wide range of situations.

It is especially recommended for those who are considering starting road cycling.

Even if you haven't decided whether you want to "ride fast" or "enjoy long distances," the FARNA SL2 will be a choice you won't regret.

The head tube is shorter than that of the old endurance models, evolving into a geometry that allows for a more aggressive riding position.

On the other hand, there's ample steerer tube length, allowing for an upright position through spacer adjustments. The ability to set a wide range of positions to suit the rider's preference is also a major appeal.

While the overall center of gravity balance is similar to that of typical road bikes, the chainstays are designed with a flattened shape. This suppresses unwanted lateral flex during pedaling while smoothly absorbing vibrations from the road surface.

It's designed to support powerful pedaling while maintaining the ease of handling characteristic of an all-rounder.

The front fork features a carbon fork combined with an aluminum steerer. This specification offers an excellent balance of vibration absorption, light weight, and ease of handling.◎

The overall impression of the frame is that of an orthodox aluminum road bike without any quirks.

This is truly a recommended bike for those who want to try road cycling or who want to enjoy customizing it as a sport in the future.

Reliable Specifications with Unified Shimano Components

The basic specifications adopt Shimano CUES (2×9speed).

Shimano CUES (2×9 speed) excels in durability and reliable shifting, making it easy for beginners to handle and ensuring long-term, worry-free use.

The crankset is also unified with CUES, contributing to excellent initial acceleration. The smooth operation, characteristic of unified components, enhances overall ride comfort.

The brake calipers use the higher-grade Shimano 105. This is a superior compatibility that won't require customization for a while.◎

High braking power and control performance allow even first-time road bike riders to ride with confidence.

The wheels use Shimano WH-RS100, and the components, including the wheels, are all Shimano brand.

Shimano parts, which have low maintenance risk, are a big reassuring point when choosing a first road bike.

It can be used for a long time in its original condition, which is a welcome advantage as it ultimately reduces running costs.

Exhibition Test Ride Impression | The True Capabilities of FARNA SL2

At the recent Khodaabloom 2026 New Product Exhibition, I had the opportunity to test ride the FARNA SL2.

The ride feel was exactly what you'd expect from an "aluminum road bike" – a clear and understandable sensation. While it had a racing feel, it wasn't overly demanding and offered a remarkably comfortable ride.

Another attractive aspect is how much its character changes depending on the riding position.

For those who want a relaxed ride, raising the handlebars for an upright style, or for those seeking speed, customizing it to a lower position, the bike responded well to either preference.

There's no doubt that it can handle a wide range of riding, from casual long-distance rides to more sporty endeavors.

That it's so versatile and easy to ride is my honest impression after the test ride.
