AURUM.
AURUM bikes is the exclusive bike brand from the multiple Grand Tour champions, Alberto Contador and Ivan Basso.
To become a Grand Tour winner requires talent, focus and the level of dedication that only occurs when overwhelming passion for success meets incessant discipline. The rare few who achieve multiple Grand Tour victories push this to a higher plain. Contador and Basso share the devoted mindset of serial winners, and now, retired from pro cycling they are free to create the bikes of their dreams, for you: AURUM.
The name AURUM reflects the passionate character of the brand and the Latin connection between Alberto and Ivan, born in Spain and Italy respectively. AURUM means gold; it is the material of winners, the most precious medal and spot on the podium, reflecting both Contador and Basso’s passionate desire for success – whether in racing or in business – and their belief that Magma will set the gold standard for high end road bikes.
ESSENTIA
A 100% Aurum at a more desirable price.
Sometimes life puts us in front of a decision, a crossroads, the choice between two paths. Comfort or speed. Enjoy or workout. Price or quality. But what if you could have it all on one bike? Thanks to the experience of Alberto Contador and Ivan Basso, we have developed ESSENTIA, designed especially for those who do not want to give up anything. Enjoy a model with a frame with similar features to MAGMA without losing its original essence. ESSENTIA is manufactured with a uni-directional carbon base, applying high modulus carbon fibers in strategic areas and thus guaranteeing a solid and resistant structure.
The new MAGMA is even faster, more aerodynamic, more integrated. Always excellent.
The experience accumulated from years of competition by Alberto Contador and Ivan Basso, combined with the expertise of our R&D department in advanced carbon fiber design and manufacturing, and five years of testing, manufacturing, and selling the first-generation MAGMA.
The frame, fork, seat post and integrated handlebar of the new MAGMA have been designed and developed exhaustively in CFD (computational fluid simulation) with the idea of being the fastest bicycle on the market. In the final design, the improvements are estimated at ~7W, with the same size, wheels and components.
The integrated handlebar provides an additional gain of ~10W.
MAGMA
MANTO
Simply put, it's a MAGMA for gravel. It follows the same principles and same high-performance spirit as MAGMA, but with bigger wheels and gravel specific geometry. It takes all the riding and testing experience from Alberto and Ivan, then adds all the experience from AURUM to design and develop a top-level bicycle.
Creating the fastest high-performance gravel bike on the market is a balancing act between different riding characteristics:
Stiffness
Comfort
Aerodynamics
Weight
Each MANTO frame is handcrafted using an advanced combination of different grades of carbon fibre, selected as the most appropriate based on the various stresses experienced in the different parts of the frame. The result is strong, rigid and light.
