At the heart of this extraordinary creation lies a meticulously crafted frame that represents a marriage of parametrically designed, 3D-printed titanium lugs and carbon fiber tubes. This union not only delivers an unparalleled blend of responsiveness and comfort but also redefines the very essence of aesthetics and elegance, according to Aston Martin. The bike’s sleek and harmonious appearance is largely attributed to the absence of unsightly fixing points or raw welds. Furthermore, an innovative integration of the brakes ensures a seamless, cable-free appearance.
The .1R’s pioneering approach transcends conventional bicycle design by drawing inspiration from the world of high-performance automobiles. It not only incorporates established principles from the bicycle industry but also leverages Aston Martin’s expertise gained from its supercar and hypercar programs. A striking example of this synergy can be observed in the pierced stem, artfully mirroring the side strake design found on the Aston Martin DB12. Customers will have the choice of 12-speed groupsets from renowned companies such as Shimano, Campagnolo, and Sram Red.
