Smart Aero

We set out to design the ultimate, do-it-all versatile race bike with light weight, advanced aerodynamics and agile handling, but without any of the bulk of the previous generation of aero road bikes. To achieve this, the frame’s head-tube, down-tube, seat-tube and seat-stays utilise NACA Airfoil tube shapes with truncated tails for optimal weight/aero balance and increased torsional stiffness.

Up front, the wide-stance aero optimised fork legs decrease airflow pressure around the wheel for drag-reduction. This advanced airfoil profile takes advantage of new UCI rules for maximum aerodynamic efficiency and minimum weight.

No more ugly, impractical external cables.

Key Features

• Integrated Carbon Barstem Cockpit with internally routed cables
• Reversible "Aeroval" Seatpost for multiple positions
• Up to 32mm Tire Clearance
• Fully integrated cable routing
• UCI Approved
