For a long time, the trade-off for riding the most advanced bikes on the planet was a pain at the airport when taking your bike with you to a race or a cycling tour. If you own a Colnago V1RS, a Cervelo S5, or a Factor One, you understand this better than anyone. These latest generation aero bikes are masterpieces of design and integration, but their proprietary aero cockpits, limited handlebar rotation, and internal cable routing can make traditional packing a challenge.
The standard procedure usually involves a stressful time stripping bars, wrestling with hydraulic lines and cable routing, and a frantic rebuild in a hotel room before your first ride. We knew there had to be a better way to protect these serious investments without the long, drawn-out hassle.
Designed for the New Generation
The Aubisque in a new, narrower width is our direct response to the evolution of bike design. While the original width of Aubisque (now the Aubisque Wide) remains a powerhouse for versatility and space for TT and tri bikes, the Standard width Aubisque is a specialist tool. It has been specifically re-engineered with a refined, narrower width to accommodate “new generation” aero bikes that require a straight-mount configuration, while ensuring that the size of the box is as compact as possible. After all, there’s no point in flying fresh air. Four different height options are available, catering for those with frames and geometry of all sizes.
By allowing the bike to be mounted into the box exactly as it is ridden, we’ve eliminated the need to remove integrated bars. Not only does this save time, it’s also about mechanical integrity. Repeatedly disturbing internal cable housing and hydraulic junctions increases the risk of wear or failure. The Aubisque ensures your bike arrives ready to race, exactly the way the manufacturer intended.
Aerospace-Grade Protection, No Compromises
We believe that good design should last. Like every box in our range, the Aubisque is designed and handcrafted in the UK from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminium, and built to last. It offers a level of security that soft cases or plastic alternatives simply cannot match.
When your bike is out of your hands – on the airport conveyor belt or in the hold of a plane – you need to know it is encased in a structure built for life, not landfill. The W1 provides that quiet confidence, allowing you to focus on the experience of the trip rather than the logistics of the transit.
Precision Engineering for the Premium Rider
The Aubisque in both Standard and Wide is a premium piece of kit for the rider who values their time as much as their bike. It is available in our signature Pavé Grey finish or the Enhanced Powder Coat Finish (EPCF) for those looking for a specific aesthetic to match their ride. If you’ve invested in the pinnacle of hyper-bike aero performance, you deserve a bike transport solution that respects that engineering.
