Featured Build: Aurora in Cobalt Cerakote | High Polish finish

Apr 10, 2024

Within our range of finish options it's possible to run the gamut from subdued to extroverted. It's no surprise, though, that the modern yet timeless Charcoal Cerakote and High Polish finish has become one of our most popular options.

The Aurora is an exceptionally sharp handling and satisfying road bike, and the build on this example helps follow through on what the frame has to offer.

Featured Build: Aurora in Cobalt Cerakote | High Polish finish

Within our range of finish options it's possible to run the gamut from subdued to extroverted. It's no surprise, though, that the modern yet timeless Cobalt Cerakote and High Polish finish has become one of our most popular options.

The Aurora is an exceptionally sharp handling and satisfying road bike, and the build on this example helps follow through on what the frame has to offer.

This particular Aurora is built with Shimano's superlative Dura Ace 9200 Di2 groupset which combines the convenience and clean setup of wireless shifters with long battery life and smaller derailleurs by wiring the derailleurs to a larger central battery hidden in the seat tube.

Keeping the aesthetic purposeful and minimal, this Aurora was configured with our 3D printed titanium stem and fully internal cable routing.

This Aurora ventures slightly off the beaten path with a pair of Cadex 50 Ultra wheels. With a 50mm depth these wheels deliver tangible aero benefits, but carbon spokes keep weight to an impressive 1,349g. Ceramic bearings keep wasted watts to a minimum.

Despite its thin profile, the Berk Lupina saddle provides a surprisingly comfortable perch for long days in the saddle.

Thoughtful details in the form of custom finishing on the bottle cages stand witness to the no-stone-unturned approach typical of our builds.
