The perfect balance
The perfect balance
When developing the Ultimate, our goal was to strike the perfect balance between lightness, stiffness, comfort, robustness, and aerodynamics. The result? The most balanced, best-value road bike on the scene.
Aerodynamically optimised
On the road, from just 14 kph, aerodynamic drag is the largest force holding you back. So we optimised the frame forms for minimum drag, through an exhaustive process of wind tunnel testing in collaboration with aero experts at Swiss Side. We also integrated the headtube/fork area as much as possible for extra aero gains.
High-end carbon layup
To make a frame with a class-leading stiffness-to-weight ratio, you need to use an advanced mix of carbon fibre materials. We precisely optimised the frame’s wall thickness and chose the exact fibres required for incredible stiffness and huge strength.
A new integrated aero seatpost
The Ultimate looks even cleaner and sleeker with this clamp design. The clamp is hidden away in the seat tube, so there’s no extra drag. We combine it with a D-shaped seatpost to reduce air resistance in the seat tube area to an absolute minimum.
