Luxurious and revolutionary, No.22 and Mosaic lead the way in titanium products, boasting a hefty price tag.
Mosaic Cycles, a renowned name in the cycling world, has unveiled the RT-Zero, their most premium product to date. It's not about exclusivity, but about the features trickling down to their core lineup.
Meanwhile, another groundbreaking bike is making waves - No.22's Reactor Aero, the world's first truly aero-optimized superbike made from 3D-printed titanium.
The MADE show featured both these bikes, showcasing the future of cycling technology.
The RT-Zero, a design-first experiment, uses carbon in its construction, with CNC-machined junctions, one-piece titanium dropouts, an oversized IS52/IS2 head tube, T47 bottom bracket, and fully internal routing. On the other hand, the Reactor Aero, despite its 3D-printed titanium frame, relies on CNC machining and TIG welding for its construction.
While the RT-Zero is a concept bike, only 25 RT-Zero framesets will ever be produced, each priced at $11,000. The Reactor Aero, however, is close to production, with 45 deposits already received. Its price tag matches its ambition, with complete bikes ranging from $20,000 to $24,000.
Mosaic's signature double-butted titanium tubes have advanced to an even thinner wall in the RT-Zero, while the Reactor Aero's seat tube has been reshaped and paired with a custom titanium seatpost. The RT-Zero features a fully integrated, D-shaped carbon seatmast bonded into a titanium frame, and No.22 has introduced a bespoke carbon-and-titanium bar/stem combo and headset for the Reactor Aero.
Expect to see features like internal routing, aesthetic refinement, and ride-tunable integration migrate into the RT-1 and beyond from the RT-Zero. The Reactor Aero will undergo aero testing in a wind tunnel before production, and its aero testing results are expected to place it among the fastest carbon race bikes on the market today.
The founders of the company carrying out the project of No.22 Reactor Aero are not identified in the provided search results. However, No.22 has partnered with RAM3D for the 3D-printing of certain parts of the Reactor Aero.
The sleek design of the Reactor Aero conforms to the UCI's latest guidelines, making it a potential contender in competitive cycling events. The bike's ambition is evident in its name - No.22's Reactor Aero, which is aiming to redefine the boundaries of aero-optimized superbikes.
In conclusion, both the RT-Zero and the Reactor Aero represent significant steps forward in cycling technology, pushing the boundaries of design, materials, and performance. The future of cycling is undoubtedly exciting, with innovations like these leading the way.
