Origin

The Aerospace is Bottecchia's answer to the modern aero road bike. Its carbon monocoque frame hides every cable inside, runs disc brakes on thru-axles, and adds an aero seatpost — all in service of cutting drag. At about 1125 g for a size-M frame and 445 g for the fork, it stays reasonably light for an aero design, and most builds ship with the integrated ONE RR carbon cockpit that funnels the cables straight into the frame. It is offered with disc-brake electronic groupsets from Shimano 105 Di2 up to Dura-Ace Di2 and SRAM RED AXS.
