Front Brake Mount

Internal Cable Routing

Rear Brake

  • Using the Oval Concepts A900 TT fork the front brake caliper is cleanly mounted behind the fork blades for improved aerodynamics
  • All cable routing on the ZAERO is internally routed using our proprietary compression free channels to ensure ease of cable line assembly and adjustment. (please note that all cable routing on the newest version of the ZAERO enter the frame directly behind the headset)
  • In conjunction with the front brake, the rear brake caliper is also internally mounted on the inside of the rear seat stay. This aerodynamically conscious design places the brake inside the already turbulent air pattern of the rider's legs and removes it from creating drag on the rear of the bike.
  • Flared seat stays add stiffness and aerodynamics to the rear end of the ZAERO

Other ZAERO features

  • 80 degree seat tube angle
  • 71 degree head tube angle
  • 39 cm chain stays to give quicker acceleration and to balance the overall wheelbase
  • Bottom Bracket height lowered to decrease the rider's center of gravity and increase handling characteristics

Unfortunately, cheap Taiwanese labor challenged Made-in-USA profitability, and our engineers were forced to seek a more complex, less mass produced item; the bicycle. Read more...
