Phase 01
CFD Sweep
Hundreds of tube profiles and fork crowns are modeled digitally before a single mold is cut.
Validation
We build the rider into the aero equation.
An empty bike tests well. A real bike, with bottles, rider position, and wheel choice, is where engineering gets honest. We test the full system and adjust surface transitions to reduce disturbed airflow in the places that matter most.
Phase 02
Tunnel Session
We validate at realistic yaw angles, then re-shape cockpit and head tube transitions until turbulence falls away.
Phase 03
Race Proof
Telemetry, split-time deltas, and rider feedback decide whether the gain reaches production.
Materials lab
Carbon tuned by load path.
Our carbon schedules are not generic “high modulus” claims. Each zone is tuned for the job it does: power transfer at the bottom bracket, calm steering up front, resilience over harsh surfaces, and lower mass everywhere else.
AeroCore Carbon
Stiff where watts enter. Calm where roads get ugly.
We reinforce the down tube and BB shell for explosive acceleration, then taper the layup through the seat cluster and fork blades so the rider keeps traction and confidence at speed.
Bench testing
50,000 cycle fatigue standard
Every prototype survives a fatigue protocol that exceeds race load expectations before it reaches an athlete test fleet.
No cosmetic shells. No non-structural weight.
Resin system
High-temperature cured
Thermal stability keeps alignment exact during long descents, rooftop transport, and race-day heat.
Hardware strategy
Serviceable by design
Integrated does not mean inaccessible. Our routing architecture preserves a clean front end without punishing routine service.
Systems integration
The fastest bikes feel inevitable.
Cockpit
Bar width, hood angle, and stem stack are fitted before paint so the finished bike already matches the rider’s position.
Drivetrain
Electronic groupset routing is isolated from frame flex points to keep shifting precise even under peak sprint loads.
Wheel strategy
Each frame is tested with multiple rim depths so crosswind stability stays predictable, not just fast in straight-line conditions.
01
Fit capture
We collect the rider’s target posture and power style before selecting cockpit and crank dimensions.
02
Prototype validation
We test the precise build mix rather than generic frame-only assumptions.
03
Race simulation
Rider changes, bottle placement, and wheel swaps are folded into the final evaluation.
04
Production signoff
Only repeatable gains that survive production tolerances make it to launch.
Race case study
Stage 4, crosswinds, 57 km to go.
When the peloton split in violent side winds, our test team tracked power and speed against the prior generation. The Vengeance RS delivered the same pace for lower rider cost, preserving the legs that mattered in the final sprint.
