Velocite Magnus carbon road frame and bike
It’s always nice to see our bikes out in the wild and here are some fine examples, three Magnus’s and a Helios. All the Magnus’s are either our first generation or second, and all are proving up to their reputation as being super quality bikes. The Helios whilst coming to the end of it’s production […]
After much deliberation we are calling our new bike Velocite Tor. If you like, this bike is the son of Velocite Magnus. Whilst it shares some of the characteristics of it’s father it has it’s own identity. We could also hail it a pure cyclocross bike but, it’s capable of so much more, that it […]
It’s really nice to see people out there enjoying their Velocite bikes. We would love to hear from you and share pictures of your Velocite bike here on the blog. So feel free to pop us an email or leave a comment so we can show it to everyone. The above picture is from here […]
Our Velocite team in the US continues to do well. Some of you know of them but, we thought it would be good to get a bit more insight. Why the team exists and what they’re goals are so we caught caught up with team member Thad to give us the low down on the […]
The Velocite Magnus carbon road bike frame has entered its 3rd generation of refinement. Key new features include: a revised layup shedding 5% of weight while maintaining its legendary stiffness dual compatibility with internal Di2 or internal cable shifting achieved by changing user replaceable adapters new flat black semi opaque finish with ultra bright decals […]
During the many discussions with several frame stiffness testing centers and providers my understanding that frame stiffness tests are largely done in a somewhat inexact manner, mostly lacking any statistical validity, was reconfirmed. A quote from one engineering lab in particular sums up the situation nicely: “And, to be perfectly honest, the bicycle industry has […]
To start, there is no such thing as “optimal stiffness” and there is no circumstance where a torsionally flexible frame offers any advantage to the rider. Our goal is to make torsionally the stiffest frames in any category where we have products. We will explain the above statements in greater detail over time by using […]
