The Megamo Raise 15 CW white 2027 is a carbon road bike designed for cyclists seeking a platform geared towards climbs and long, sporty rides. It combines a Carbon Advanced Composite Super Light frame, a Shimano 105 Di2 2x12-speed electronic drivetrain, and Zipp carbon wheels. This configuration differs from the standard Raise 15 with its carbon wheels and Fizik Vento Antares R5 saddle.
The Raise belongs to Megamo's road bike range, dedicated to demanding courses and mountain riding. Its Carbon Advanced Composite Super Light frame is paired with a carbon fork, featuring fully internal cable routing. Megamo developed this platform to reconcile the demands of climbing, descending, and long distances covered at a sporty pace.
The Raise 15 CW is announced with a Shimano 105 Di2 double chainring, twelve-speed drivetrain. The Di2 system uses electronic controls to operate the derailleurs, unlike a mechanical cable-operated drivetrain. This technology allows for electronic gear changes without direct mechanical manipulation of the derailleur via the lever.
The CW version is distinguished by its use of Zipp carbon wheels, while the standard Raise 15 comes with Fulcrum Racing 800 DB aluminum wheels. Carbon fiber allows for the design of specific rim profiles, notably taller ones, for improved aerodynamic performance. The exact wheel specifications for the Raise 15 CW are still to be confirmed: Megamo lists 50mm Zipp 404 S wheels in the main specifications, but indicates 45mm Zipp 303 S wheels in the technical specifications table.
The Raise 15 CW features a fully integrated carbon cockpit with internal cable routing, as well as an Aerodynamic Advanced Carbon seatpost. The fork, frame, and cockpit are all part of an integrated design, intended to minimize exposed components and maintain the bike's clean lines.
The main appeal of the Raise 15 CW lies in its choice of components. Megamo retains a Shimano 105 Di2 electronic drivetrain and upgrades the build to Zipp carbon wheels. It is therefore aimed at cyclists who want both electronic shifting and a pair of carbon wheels right out of the box.
Switching from aluminum to carbon wheels doesn't automatically mean the bike becomes lighter or faster in all conditions. Handling depends on factors such as the actual wheel weight, profile, tires, and riding conditions. However, choosing a carbon rim with a deeper profile represents a different technical approach than the Fulcrum Racing 800 DB rims on the standard Raise 15.
The 30mm Pirelli P Zero Race TLR Classic tires are also an important component of the setup. This width offers a greater air volume than a comparable 28mm tire, allowing for pressure adjustments tailored to the rider's weight, wheels, and road surface.
Finally, the presence of a Fizik Vento Antares R5 saddle distinguishes this version from the standard Raise 15 equipped with a Selle Italia Model X Superflow. However, the choice of saddle remains a personal one and depends on the rider's body type, riding position, and preferences.
The Raise 15 CW is aimed at the regular road cyclist looking for a carbon bike for sporty rides, hilly and mountainous terrain, and long distances. Its components are particularly well-suited to those who want a Shimano Di2 electronic drivetrain and carbon wheels without having to immediately replace the original wheelset.
This version may also be of interest to a rider who participates in cyclosportive events and is looking for a bike combining a platform developed for elevation gain, an integrated cockpit and equipment geared towards road performance.
Both models share a Carbon Advanced Composite Super Light frame, a carbon fork, an integrated cockpit and a Shimano 105 Di2 2x12 speed drivetrain announced by Megamo.
The most significant difference lies in the wheels. The standard Raise 15 comes with 33.7mm Fulcrum Racing 800 DB aluminum wheels, while the Raise 15 CW is advertised with Zipp carbon wheels. The choice between the two versions therefore hinges primarily on the advantage of investing in a pair of carbon wheels from the outset rather than sticking with aluminum wheels.
The saddle also differs: Selle Italia Model X Superflow on the Raise 15 and Fizik Vento Antares R5 on the Raise 15 CW. However, the technical information provided for the CW does not confirm that the two bikes have exactly the same crankset and cassette.
The Raise 15 CW follows a specific build logic: retaining the Raise's Super Light carbon platform, taking advantage of a Shimano 105 Di2 electronic drivetrain, and using Zipp carbon wheels directly. Compared to the standard Raise 15, it therefore prioritizes a more performance-oriented wheel setup without requiring an upgrade to a higher-end electronic groupset.
