Aston Martin and British titanium bike leader J.Laverack have teamed up to create a road bike like no other; the J.Laverack Aston Martin .1R.
Developed in collaboration with performance car designers, the .1R is the most exclusive, advanced and refined bike ever created, boasting a number of world firsts.
Combining the common values of the two British performance brands, Aston Martin and J.Laverack have applied truly innovative design and engineering processes to produce a fully integrated “visually screwless” design that possesses aesthetic purity and attention to detail. incomparable.
The J.Laverack Aston Martin .1R uses a seamless fusion of parametrically designed 3D printed titanium joints and sculpted carbon fiber tubes. This ensures a frame that not only offers an exceptional combination of response and comfort, but also sets new standards for elegance and beauty on two wheels. The smooth joints of the joints and tubes are truly innovative and the carbon fiber herringbone weave is immaculate, despite the complexity of its manufacture.
Oliver Laverack, co-founder of J.Laverack Bicycles, said: “Working with the Aston Martin team has led to new ideas and innovations, the application of which has created a bicycle more advanced than any other currently available on the market. “Working in collaboration with Aston Martin we have not only taken our titanium bikes to new heights, but we have also unlocked true innovation within the cycling industry, creating a bike with unprecedented levels of craftsmanship and performance engineering.”
“Each component is designed to be part of the whole and marry perfectly with the adjacent elements, achieving an unsurpassed degree of integration, which lays the foundations for the screwless design of the J.Laverack Aston Martin .1R.”
The J.Laverack Aston Martin .1R features impeccable clean lines, where bike owners would normally expect to find mounts on the stem or seatpost. The four-piston integrated brake calipers are clean in design and required the development of a bespoke test rig. As a result, there is not a single cable or hose visible on the entire bike.
Applying innovations outside the usual realm of bicycles, in the .1R there are new solutions everywhere you look. Developed in collaboration with the most innovative designers in the world of performance automobiles, the .1R not only adopts the design expertise of Aston Martin’s supercar and hypercar programs, but also benefits from the highest expression of bicycle engineering. of road.
Marek Reichman, Executive Vice President and Chief Creative Officer of Aston Martin, said: “The J.Laverack Aston Martin .1R is a titanium hypercar on two wheels at its core. Simple, clever genius is how we’ve fused engineering advancements throughout the bike with performance-focused purity of design to deliver a truly exhilarating riding experience. The result is a distinctive shape, born through tradition and technology and manufactured by hand using only the most advanced materials, in keeping with the pedigree and avant-garde nature of the two iconic British companies.
Each owner will be invited to Aston Martin’s HQ in Gaydon, where a tune-up will take place with the founders of J.Laverack, offering unlimited opportunities to personalize their .1R. Customers will be able to choose exactly the same color palette and upholstery as the Aston Martin models, giving them the opportunity to combine car and bike, if they wish.
Meanwhile, everyone will be able to customize their dream version of a .1R thanks to the bike’s integration into Aston Martin’s award-winning online configurator. In addition to the saddle, this digital tool allows users to individually specify the color of the tubes, grips, forks, stem, seat post and handlebars.
If desired, the carbon fiber can be left bare to highlight the beauty of the material. Details such as the bottom bracket cups, brake calipers and brake disc centers have a special ceramic coating that can be bronze or black.
When a customer receives their customized J.Laverack Aston Martin .1R, they will notice that each bike and its components, such as hubs, cranks and frame, are numbered, forever linking them as part of a whole. The bike will also be supplied with its own case, either aluminum or carbon, which will serve as both a travel solution and to display the .1R properly. Each .1R travel case will also include a bike-matched inflation pump, with Alcantara or leather covered grips, which will sit securely inside the protective cases.
