By producing several carbon layup iterations, the engineers at AURUM already had a good idea of the frame’s behavior by design, thanks to their experience and the data collected in the test lab and the stiffness bench. By the time Alberto and Ivan threw their legs over the saddle of the MANTO, the frame and fork had already gone through rigorous lab testing, exceeding the usual bike industry standards and European norms, to ensure the safety and solidity of the structure. But beyond that, what differentiates an excellent bike from just a good bike is the riding feel, the sublime balance of riding characteristics (stiffness, comfort, light weight and aerodynamics all working in unison) that were set as the main goal for this project. After many kilometers of tests on tracks and roads, we can consider the results of MANTO to be excellent and proudly launch this product on the market to join MAGMA in the AURUM catalogue.
