Co-founder & Sports Scientist Marc Battistella began the brands quest in 2006 for a super ’Aerodynamic intelligent’ frame anomaly from a non seat-tube monocoque rear end design. “Hi-tech material selection coupled with innovative chemical engineering forms our elusive matrix carbon patterns that strengthen the major stress points within such a rigid minimalistic structure.” The matrices especially surrounding the over sized bottom bracket & tapered head-tube developed from years of artistic technical skill has transformed the original Ai-1 prototype into the current light weight race bred Ai-5 phenomenon.
A truly tangible ergonomic outcome fusing the key triathlon parameters of steep geometry, integrated aerodynamics, drive line rigidy, fuscelage bladder hydration & a unique ‘Beam Absorption Deflection’ system delivering supreme rider comfort. Models proir to the Ai-5 were individually handcrafted before processing protocol advancements assisted in the current frames structural loading characteristics while uniforming stress test reproducability & surface layer aesthetics.
Gyroscopic & concentric wheel technology yeild the perfect storm for peak performance via optimizing the wheel-frame relationship as a single entity, especially during the extreme loads of elite racing. Stimulus, adaptation & evolution continue the brands cycle of progression towards applicational specificity. An original open minded non industry limitated design philosophy united with productive communication @ both the engineering & manufacturing platforms is the hi-quality control framework admistered into every project.
Beyond the driving force to mesh superior performance with guaranteed reliability, acknowledging the beneficial placebo effects stimulated from the Cycpro riders psyche is the origin behind the companies name. Neutralizing the negative forces of nature while converging the positive in the exclusive pure speed Ai-frame concept takes the ride-run combination to a new dimension. The Ai-series created without boundries for triathletes psyched to ride faster !
