This digital tool lets users personalize the color of the tubes, lugs, forks, stem, seat post, and handlebar drops, as well as choose to leave the carbon fiber exposed for its natural beauty. Various accents like the bottom bracket cups, brake calipers, and brake disc centers can be coated in bronze or remain understated in black. At the heart of this extraordinary creation lies an exquisitely crafted frame, a result of merging parametrically designed, 3D-printed titanium lugs and carbon fiber tubes. This fusion doesn’t just deliver an unparalleled combination of responsiveness and comfort, Aston Martin says, but it also redefines aesthetics and elegance.
‘We have created a bicycle with unparalleled levels of craftsmanship and performance engineering.’ As a result, everything is seamless, concealed and smooth, with no exposed cables or hoses. This meticulously finished machine is the result of a collaboration between Aston Martin and titanium bicycle specialist J.Laverack. The J.Laverack Aston Martin .1R is a handcrafted road bicycle that is tailored to each owner like a bespoke suit. Aston Martin will be offering up their online configurator for customers to explore all the available options on a bicycle that blends high-tech materials with handcrafts. If many of the parts look familiar next to Serial 1’s other urban e-bikes, that’s because they share the same DNA. The SWITCH/MTN is built on a similar foundation, including the same 90 Nm mid-drive Brose S Mag motor and proprietary in-frame 529 Wh removable battery developed in part by Harley-Davidson’s LiveWire motorcycle engineers.
Based in Xiamen, China we have the advantage of being at the heart of the carbon fiber industry. Given a bike weighing at least 6.8kg doesn’t in itself guarantee its safety, it begs the question of whether there is even a need for a minimum weight limit. However, your bike typically makes up such a small percentage of the overall system weight, that a slightly lighter bike doesn’t move the needle much. Aston Martin hyper bike draws parallels between the bicycle design and manufacturing process and its top-end range of hypercars. Owners will undertake their fitting at Aston Martin’s headquarters in Gaydon, UK, as well as undertake a guided specification process with Aston Martin’s design team. The finished bikes will all be numbered, with a special travel and display case supplied with each .1R, along with a handmade wooden tool case.

Based in Rutland, the company was founded in 2015 by Oliver Laverack and David Clow and consists of made-to-measure bicycles designed for a variety of applications, including road bikes, gravel bikes, urban bikes and mountain bikes. It has a lightweight aluminum frame that lets users ride harder for longer, providing a reliable experience. The Hyper eRide mountain bike has been hailed as the perfect companion for younger cyclists looking to get out and explore.
If minimum safety standards were incorporated into the UCI’s technical regulations, then a minimum bike weight limit could be rendered unnecessary. First, the move from rim to disc brakes added a few hundred grams (or more in some cases) to most road bikes. This year has seen the launch of a number of lightweight, all-rounder road racing bikes that can hit the UCI’s minimum weight limit of 6.8kg. Owners of the .1R will be invited to visit Aston Martin’s headquarters in Gaydon, where they will experience a personalized fitting session with J.Laverack’s founders. Furthermore, an integration with the automaker’s online configurator allows anyone to design their dream bicycle.

The latest Giant Propel Advanced SL 0, for example, weighs just 6.91kg (size ML, without pedals) – only around 200g more than an equivalent TCR Advanced SL 0 (6.71kg, size L, without pedals). Barfield also said he believed the UCI should move to a “safety-based standard”, and that there was “general agreement” within the industry on this at the time. That means complete with “pedals, power meter, computer mount, bottle cages, and all”. For the latest generation of its all-rounder racing bike, the Tarmac SL8, Specialized said it took inspiration from the Aethos.
I tried to unscrew it and snap it in place, but the machine that put the nuts on really did a job and got that thing on really tight, so I decided to leave it alone. The last and probably the biggest problem was that there was no quick release for the bike seat, it was missing from the set. Even when we tried contacting both the seller and manufacturer they didn’t want to just ship a part out, they instead wanted us to ship the entire thing back and gives us a whole new bike set.

The current rule helps provide something of a level playing field (in sporting terms) too, with the UCI stating “The rules governing the use of equipment aim to ensure both the safety of riders and the fairness of competition”. As a result, it wasn’t uncommon to see lead weights added to bikes to ensure they passed checks by beady-eyed UCI commissaires. Ultimately, whatever the physics says, it’s hard to beat the experience of picking up a featherweight bike and imagining how it might improve your climbing. Bike weight makes almost no difference to performance if you’re riding along a flat road.
They all have high-end components, but none resort to the kind of components or hacks now reserved mostly for dedicated hill climb bikes. As it turned out Serial 1 already had a front suspension bike – commonly hyper bike referred to as a hardtail – in the works, which the company rolled out this morning. The first rider-owned company, SE Racing, becomes a major force in the BMX industry thanks to Scott Breithaupt.
