In a groundbreaking collaboration, Aston Martin, renowned for its iconic luxury automobiles, and J.Laverack, a leader in British titanium bicycles, have forged a masterpiece on two wheels—the J.Laverack Aston Martin .1R. This road bicycle is not just a mode of transportation; it's a symphony of bespoke craftsmanship, advanced engineering, and aesthetic perfection.
The .1R is a testament to the shared values of Aston Martin and J.Laverack, integrating innovative design and engineering to create a visually boltless, fully integrated masterpiece. Crafted with parametrically designed, 3D printed titanium lugs and sculpted carbon fiber tubes, the .1R achieves an unprecedented blend of response, comfort, and elegance. The flawless unions of lugs and tubes showcase the impeccable herringboned weave of carbon fiber, exemplifying meticulous manufacturing.
Oliver Laverack, Co-founder of J.Laverack Bicycles, expresses the collaboration's innovative spirit, stating, "Working with the team at Aston Martin has unlocked new ideas and innovations, creating a bicycle more advanced than anything currently available on the market." The .1R features clean lines, free from visible fixings, and introduces four-piston brake calipers with bespoke testing equipment, eliminating exposed cables for a seamless design.
Marek Reichman, Executive Vice President and Chief Creative Officer at Aston Martin, describes the .1R as a "titanium hypercar on two wheels," emphasizing the fusion of engineering advancements and performance design. Every aspect of the .1R reflects a distinctive form born from tradition and technology, handcrafted with the most advanced materials.
Owners of the J.Laverack Aston Martin .1R will enjoy a personalized experience, with an invitation to Aston Martin's headquarters in Gaydon for a full fitting with J.Laverack's founders. The customization extends to color palettes and trim choices, aligning the bicycle with Aston Martin cars. The online configurator allows users to specify tube, lug, fork, stem, seat post, and handlebar drop colors, providing a truly unique and personalized touch.
Upon delivery, each custom .1R is numbered, creating a link between the owner and the bike's components. The bicycle comes with a travel case, doubling as a display for the .1R. The case includes a track pump matching the bike's aesthetics, emphasizing attention to detail.
The J.Laverack Aston Martin .1R is not just a visual marvel; it's engineered for an exhilarating riding experience. The integrated brakes, with four pistons for enhanced progression, and the frame's blend of Ti 6Al/4V titanium and carbon fiber deliver responsiveness for diverse terrains. Customization reaches new heights with 3D printed titanium components, ensuring a tailored fit for every owner.
Incorporating elements from Aston Martin's hypercar designs, the .1R boasts lace wing badges, miniature hypercar wheel designs in the titanium piston caps, and details reminiscent of the Aston Martin Valkyrie. The bicycle's excellence extends to bespoke chainrings, AERA Components Æ|55 wheels, and a specifically commissioned C13 saddle from Brooks.
The J.Laverack Aston Martin .1R is not just a bicycle; it's a masterpiece that transcends traditional expectations. Handcrafted in the UK, this collaboration between two iconic British companies echoes the founders' shared history, rooted in the love of racing bicycles. Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford's legacy lives on in the .1R, the world's most bespoke, advanced, and meticulously engineered road bicycle.
