Enjoy Aston Martin power and engineering now in the form of a road bicycle
Aston Martin and British titanium bicycle leader J.Laverack have united to create the road bicycle to end all bicycles. The J.Laverack Aston Martin .1R. was developed with input from high-performance automotive designers, making it the most bespoke, advanced and engineered bicycle ever created featuring a number of world firsts.
2 Brands, 1 Vision
Combining the shared values of the two high performance British brands, Aston Martin and J.Laverack have applied truly innovative design and engineering processes to produce a fully integrated ‘visually boltless’ design that possesses an aesthetic purity and obsession to detail beyond compare.
Moreover, the J.Laverack Aston Martin .1R features clean lines, where bicycle owners would normally expect to find fixings at the stem or seat post. The integrated four piston brake calipers also required the development of bespoke testing equipment. As a result, there is not a single exposed cable or hose visible on the whole bicycle.
More Than Meets The Eye
Applying innovations from outside the normal sphere of bicycles, everywhere you look on the .1R there are new solutions. Developed in collaboration with the most innovative designers from the high-performance automotive world, the .1R not only adopts design mastery from Aston Martin’s supercar and hypercar programmes but also benefits from the pinnacle of road bicycle engineering.
On top of that, the Laverack Aston Martin .1R is not a bicycle simply to be looked at, it has been purposefully designed with performance and riding experience at the core. For example, the integrated brakes are not merely attractive, the use of four pistons as opposed to the usual two gives greater progression and feel through the levers.
Form And Function Combined
The .1R’s frame demonstrates a similar blend of form and function. By using a combination of Ti 6Al/4V titanium, known for its lively ride qualities, and carbon fibre to provide the requisite stiffness, the .1R has a responsiveness that will delight everywhere from the rough cobbles of Flanders to the soaring climbs of the Pyrenees.
