Aston Martin, the renowned luxury automotive manufacturer, has joined forces with the leading British titanium bicycle company, J.Laverack, to introduce the highly exclusive .1R road bicycle. Meticulously designed with input from high-performance automotive experts, the .1R represents the pinnacle of bespoke engineering in the world of cycling.
This exceptional bicycle showcases a fusion of cutting-edge technology and craftsmanship, featuring 3D-printed titanium lugs and precisely sculpted carbon fiber tubes. The combination enhances both responsiveness and comfort, setting new industry standards.
Oliver Laverack, Co-founder of J.Laverack Bicycles, emphasized the innovative collaboration with Aston Martin, stating that it has resulted in a bicycle that surpasses anything currently available on the market. The .1R’s components are seamlessly integrated, facilitating a unique boltless design.
The .1R’s technical superiority is evident in its form and functionality. It incorporates four-piston brake calipers, providing improved control and feel compared to the standard two-piston design. The frame cleverly combines Ti 6Al/4V titanium for a lively ride with carbon fiber for essential stiffness and responsiveness on diverse terrains.
Moreover, the bicycle’s design offers endless customization possibilities. The bespoke configurator allows riders to personalize the frame, brakes, trim, and chainset, with a choice of 54 distinct Aston Martin colors.
For those interested in this extraordinary creation, the configurator is accessible to all, but availability is limited, and pricing details can be obtained through a dedicated site. Purchasers will enjoy a unique experience at Aston Martin’s headquarters in Gaydon, Warwick, UK, where they will undergo a comprehensive fitting session with the founders of J.Laverack. This partnership between two iconic brands has resulted in a road bicycle that embodies innovation, craftsmanship, and luxury for cycling enthusiasts worldwide.
