Simply put, it’s a MAGMA for gravel. It follows the same principles and same high-performance spirit as MAGMA, but with bigger wheels and gravel specific geometry. It takes all the riding and testing experience from Alberto and Ivan, then adds all the experience from AURUM to design and develop a top-level bicycle.
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Creating the fastest high-performance gravel bike on the market is a balancing act between different riding characteristics:
STIFFNESS
For power delivery and quick, confident handling and cornering
COMFORT
For long rides and ensuring that the rider can always perform at the highest level
AERODYNAMICS
Reducing aero drag for the best efficiency and pure speed, on and off road
WEIGHT
For a lively feel and to save energy, without compromising stiffness and comfort
FRAMESET SPECIFICATIONS
Each MANTO frame is handcrafted using an advanced combination of different grades of carbon fiber, selected as the most appropriate based on the various stresses experienced in the different parts of the frame. The result is strong, rigid and light.

MORE SPACE
UP TO 45 MM WHEEL CLEARANCE
MANTO’s geometry has been designed and optimized for tires between 40 and 45mm wide. This is the sweet spot tire width for gravel riding, the best balance between traction, speed and shock absorption. The MANTO frame and fork have additional space for muddy conditions.
GRAVEL WITHOUT CABLES:
MANTO FLOWS WITHOUT OBSTACLES
The front end of the MANTO stands out for its subtle blend of airfoil headtube and downtube profiles into the oversized fork crown. Beyond that aero-efficient shaping, the headtube also routes the brake hoses in a clean and simple way through the 1.5” headset bearing, to expose nothing to the wind and keep everything clean and tidy. This solution is also clean and helpful when using handlebar mounted bags, so the cables don’t interfere with the straps.

100% AURUM COMPONENTS DESIGNED FOR GRAVEL
FRAME WITH INTEGRATED COCKPIT
As fast and light as the new MANTO gravel frame is, we couldn’t have achieved our goals without the fastest components in the world, from the integrated cockpit to the seatpost, hiding the cables completely to improve aerodynamics and overall design.
In the AURUM online store there is the option to purchase the MANTO frame with integrated cockpit.
OPTIMIZE MANTO’S GEOMETRY AND RIDING PERFORMANCE
LAB AND FIELD TESTING
During the development of MANTO, the AURUM team led by Alberto Contador and Ivan Basso spent countless hours testing different prototypes. This was a necessary exercise to confirm the numbers drawn for the geometry, both for the handling and fitting. But even more importantly to fine-tune the bike’s riding characteristics.
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.
