Former round winners Alberto Contador and Ivan Basso, the owners of bike brand AURUM have launched a new version of the Aurum Magma: The Aurum Magma V2. This is the latest flagship bike from this company, where every effort has been made to make the bike lighter, faster and more integrated<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newer is better?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first generation of Aurum Magma dates back five years. Back then, the brand was just on the market after Basso and Contador left the peloton. The new design follows market trends, with even more integrated components making the bike lighter (and faster) than its predecessor. This also translates to aerodynamics. Indeed, the claim made is that the bike would give 17 watts of gain at a speed of 45km\/h. For the mere mortal, this is not so relevant, but for top riders in the peloton, all the more so. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smaller, but wider<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There has been a lot of tinkering with the cockpit. One of the most striking things is that the bike can now put tyres up to 35mm. That will make the guys from Kern-Pharma who ride the V2 in the peloton very happy. The use of a lot of 'aerospace' know-how makes for a bike that is just short of flying. Perhaps V2 is a nod to the famous rocket. And say it yourself, the bike looks like a rocket, doesn't it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Available in many sizes and adjustments<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Naturally, this flagship AURUM is available in many shapes and sizes. Prices are not cheap, as a Dura-Ace Di2 - with Lightweight obermayer slippers will change hands for a \u20ac15,000. That's also the same price as with the SRAM Red group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still want that cool Princeton CarbonWorks PEAK 4550 EVO<\/a>? Then you are 'only' \u20ac11,000 lighter. Combined with a SRAM RED AXS<\/a> group, the price is \u20ac900 more. Not tender. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could also fit an SRAM Force or Shimano Ultegra group, but fine. With this bike, you really only want the best of the best. If you do make this 'downgrade', the price shoots below 9k. For \u20ac8500 you have a Shimano Ultegra di2 version, for just over \u20ac8100 you have an SRAM Force. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
