Aerodynamic Racing

When you're racing for the win in the world Triathlon championships or the one of the world's greatest road races, it's all about exploiting minimal gains and the AiR 9.8 has enough of them to make the difference between the win and 2nd place. The AiR frame speaks for itself and is finished with a world-class component package.

 

Highlights;

- New AiR Aerodynamic Racing frame, fork and seatpost

- Full high modulus carbon fibre monocoque construction

- Wind tunnel developed tube profiles

- Down tube, seat tube and seatpost shaped for maximized airflow and reduced wind resistance in real world head and cross wind conditions

- Forks and seat stays have flat inside and curved outside surfaces for enhanced airflow interaction between the frame and wheel. This is further enhanced when using deep section wheels

- Mould design incorporates one piece BB30 bottom bracket and optimized oversize box section chainstays with steep taper at dropout for maximized power transfer and strength

- Full internal cable routing for further airflow enhancement and clean lines

- Stable, predictable geometry to cope will all race situations

- Full carbon fork with tapered fork steerer for increased stiffness and steering precision
