Each .1R travel case will also include a track pump that matches the bike, featuring Alcantara or leather covered handles, and sits securely inside the protective cases. So we know that it looks amazing, but what’s it like to ride, you may wonder? The .1R has a responsiveness that will delight everywhere from rough cobblestones to soaring hills and open spaces. Further evidence that the .1R has been designed for long, enjoyable days in the saddle is manifested in the unparalleled way in which each bike can be tailored to its owner. True, custom fitting isn’t new in the world of bicycles, but it is usually more in the realm of ‘made to measure’. By contrast, the J.Laverack Aston Martin .1R is truly bespoke. Typifying this philosophy, each Sphyr stem - named after the hammerhead shark (Sphyrna) - will be 3D printed from titanium to each owner’s unique measurements. Reach and width can all be specified with absolute precision. Blending the innovative with the traditional, the sublime beauty and precise functionality of the J.Laverack Aston Martin .1R is something extremely special. Handcrafted in the UK, it is a true collaboration between two companies that are at the forefront of their fields.
