AURUM’s first model, Magma, is the ultimate racing road bike.
It is the best performer on any road terrain, the one to be chosen no matter what the route profile and conditions
Magma is agile, light and fast. But from the outset Contador and Basso agreed that it must be balanced in its handling: comfortable and compliant enough for long rides, yet stiff while climbing off-the-saddle. Reactive at its front end when cornering to track every tight corner with precision, yet stable to inspire confidence on even the fastest open descents.

STIFFNESS: POWER & PERFORMANCE
Alberto Contador and Ivan Basso know as well as anybody that to perform at your best, the wattage you generate needs to be delivered to the road with maximum efficiency: a frame being stiff in the right places is crucial.
Magma is designed with high lateral stiffness at the bottom bracket area when you’re riding out of the saddle, at maximum effort, high speed or attacking a climb. It’s also made with high torsional stiffness particularly in the headtube and downtube sections – the backbone of the frame – crucial for a frameset that delivers confident handling and cornering.
Using a BB386Evo standard bottom bracket, Magma’s airfoil downtube tapers out from the headtube, maximizing torsional stiffness. The dimensions of the downtube on all frame sizes have been scaled individually for a proportionate stiffness level, so you’ll find consistent riding characteristics.

COMFORT: OPTIMUM RIDER PERFORMANCE
While the stiffness of key sections of Magma’s frameset are optimised for power delivery and sure handling – both in terms of geometry and details of the carbon layup – other areas are designed and tuned differently, to ensure the right level of comfort in an all-round performance bike. Riding position and frameset flexibility in the right areas are crucial for performing at your best over a long ride.

AERODYNAMICS: FASTER BY DESIGN
An important and non-debatable goal set by Contador and Basso from the beginning of the project was to work in depth in the aerodynamic efficiency of the Magma.
Aerodynamics are very important in how Magma performs at speed and remains stable at different yaw angles. Traditional racing bikes have been split between Light or Aerodynamic, but it was essential to combine these two characteristics and make the Magma a faster bike.

To refine the small details and fine-tune the carbon layup, both Alberto Contador and Ivan Basso worked tirelessly testing several frame prototypes, ensuring Magma’s handling, ride quality and looks live up to their dream of make the best performing, fastest bike on the road.
Magma is available in six sizes to cover a wide spectrum of rider heights, with each frame size designed and tested extensively to ensure consistent riding characteristics across the range from the smallest to the largest and everywhere in between. You can choose from two finishes for your Magma, the elegant Glacial Blue or the stealthy matte Carbon Black.
