AR01 / The ultimate All-Rounder / Fade-Light

Fade-Light: Serenity meets style. A subtle blend of River-Stream blue and soft cream beige, this finish evokes the calm of flowing water and the warmth of early morning light. It’s a color for riders who appreciate nuance—those who move with intention, not noise. Balanced, graceful, and quietly confident, Fade-Light isn’t just a paint scheme—it’s a mood.

Vortex-Tubing Technology (VTT)

An aero advantage you can feel, literally. Innovative and exclusive technologies enable you to cut through the wind like a knife through butter – With our patented Vortex Tubing Technology (VTT). It is possible to reduce the drag of a cylinder by half if an effective surface coating is applied. With this goal in mind, we have used a textured coating on specific areas of the AR01 tubing mimicking the texture of a golf ball but with protuberances instead of dimples. Enabling us to get the slippery benefits of the crafted surface but without the weight penalty of a dimpled surface which requires a thicker tubing wall thickness, resulting in heavier frame weight. Our goal was to keep things as light and slippery as possible, with no compromises.

Full integrated sharp and clean

A neat and aerodynamic one-piece cockpit with no cables showing has become the norm. We tick that box with BLKTEC x TOKEN Cable Box system. But where we stand out is in a straightforward approach that will not be a headache to service and a comfortable handlebar profile no matter your hand position.

No asphalt, no problem

Our AR01 can clear up to 32c wide tires. As if this wasn’t enough, there is also a hidden third bottle cage or accessory mount under the downtube for these very epic rides only you can think of. Pushing the no-compromise envelope wherever your adventure brings you.

Carbon aero cover big gains in small places

You would be surprised how much drag can be saved by covering the caliper and rotor, so were we, and that is why we did, not only because it looks incredible. Now you can enjoy the power of disc brakes with an aero advantage over rim brakes as a cherry on top.
