BIKE AHEAD COMPOSITES Gravel frameset "THE SUPERFAST" | Pressfit BB86
If you are looking for a gravel bike that is uncompromisingly focused on speed, precision and individual fit, you will find it with THE SUPERFAST. This race-oriented carbon bike combines an ultra-light design, impressive stability and exceptional comfort into a performance concept that gives you noticeably more speed and propulsion on all sections of the route.
The frame, fork and optional cockpit are made from a state-of-the-art one-piece monocoque construction. This means that all carbon fibers are processed in one piece and form an extremely stiff, strong and lightweight structure. This elaborate manufacturing process results in clean transitions, optimum power transmission and precise, controlled handling, even when you really let it rip. The fully integrated cable routing ensures a tidy front end and reliably protects cables from dirt and moisture. The cables run invisibly through the handlebars and stem directly into the frame and fork. The result is a very clean design with minimal exposure to wind and weather. THE SUPERFAST sets new standards in terms of weight. Just over 800 g is a direct challenge to the competition. In combination with carefully selected components, it is easy to create a complete bike that is right at the top of the race category. The absence of a layer of paint further reduces the weight and gives the finely structured carbon surface an elegant, matt finish. With a tire clearance of up to 50 mm, you are ideally prepared for fast gravel passages, challenging trails and long distances.
The optional, integrated cockpit can be configured in almost any combination of handlebar width, stem length and drop so that you can find the exact riding position that suits your riding style. The frame, fork and cockpit are designed as a technical unit. The components are perfectly matched and also blend together visually. You also decide which frame configuration forms the optimum basis for your dream setup. You can choose between a threaded T47 bottom bracket and a particularly precise press-fit version. The bike can also be ridden with either a single drivetrain or a front derailleur. The patented base, together with the optionally available adapter, enables both options without any visual or technical disadvantages. The frame is rounded off by a UDH derailleur hanger, which is compatible with modern rear derailleurs and protects the "SUPERFAST" from damage in the event of a fall or contact with a branch.
A special feature of this frame, however, is the unique, integrated storage compartment above the bottom bracket area. It is waterproof and removable. It also includes a mini tool, a CO2 pump and a spare tube.
Each frameset is manufactured entirely in Germany, from the first carbon fiber to the final product. This in-house production guarantees maximum precision and long-lasting quality that you can rely on at all times - regardless of the pace and terrain.
