Overview
The BlackHeart Road AL is a reflection of modern carbon aesthetic in a metal form. The double-butted tubes and dropped seatstays provide a super smooth, yet snappy ride while the fully-integrated, aerodynamic design give little away to the fastest bikes in the world.
It features a pro fit, similar to world-tour race bikes, race geometry with quick, sharp handling, and fits 25–35mm tires.
Build Options
We offer Signature Builds in 3 levels, a Custom Build option with SRAM, Shimano, and Campagnolo groupsets, as well as framesets.

2024 Editor's Choice
"It’s a custom bicycle for riders without the budget or patience for a bike with custom geometry and it rides as well (or better) than many bikes from far more recognizable and bigger brands." – Tara Seplavy, Bicycling Magazine
Modern aesthetic
A gently sloping top tube, dropped seat stays, and up to 34mm tire clearance bring aluminum design into the 21st century.
Aero design
Our custom kammtail downtube, one-piece carbon cockpit, fully integrated cables, and electronic only design make it slippery where it matters.
Snappy ride
Premium 6066 double-butted aluminum tubing and dropped, slightly curved seatstays deliver a ride quality that rivals most carbon bikes.
Future proof
Electronic 2X and Mechanical 1X compatible, threaded T47 bb, a round 31.6mm seatpost, and SRAM UDH means easy maintenance and no proprietary parts to limit your options.
Recycles forever
More durable than carbon and 100% recyclable when the time comes.
