THE ASTRAEUS.

The Astraeus is a purebred titanium race bike, combining responsive performance with the timeless durability of titanium. Lightweight, refined and built for speed, it delivers an exceptionally smooth ride that makes every kilometre count. Crafted for riders who demand performance without compromising on character, the Astraeus is made to race, ride and go the distance.

The Frame.

At the heart of the Astraeus is a meticulously crafted titanium frame, built to combine low weight, strength and lasting performance. Titanium gives the frame its distinctive character: stiff and responsive when you put the power down, yet naturally smooth and comfortable over long distances. Every tube, junction and detail is shaped with purpose, creating a clean, refined frame that is as durable as it is beautiful. Built to perform today and remain a trusted companion for many years to come.

The Feeling.

The first thing you notice is how naturally the Astraeus responds. Light on its feet, precise through corners and eager when you push the pedals, it feels like an extension of your own movement. The titanium frame delivers a rare balance of stiffness and comfort, giving you the confidence to ride fast without sacrificing the pleasure of the ride.

Whether you’re chasing the next climb, carving through a descent or simply enjoying a long day in the saddle, the Astraeus remains composed and responsive. Every pedal stroke feels purposeful. Every kilometre invites another.

Fast when you want it. Smooth when you need it. Always ready for more.

In a nutshell.

Smooth by nature — Titanium naturally filters road vibration, creating a remarkably smooth and comfortable ride.

Responsive when you push — The frame combines controlled stiffness with a lively response, delivering direct power transfer when accelerating or climbing.

Confident handling — Precise steering and balanced geometry give the Astraeus a composed, predictable feel through corners and descents.

Comfort over distance — Titanium’s vibration-damping characteristics help reduce fatigue, especially on longer rides.

Built to last — Unlike many performance materials, titanium is highly resistant to corrosion and does not rely on a paint finish for its structural protection.

A frame for the long term — The Astraeus is not designed to be replaced with the next season’s model. It is built to become a bike you keep riding.
