Aston Martin is best known for coming up with some of the best GT cars in the business. Its signature designs and cutting-edge tech have helped it evolve while still staying true to its roots. Now, it takes all these to a whole new level—on two wheels. Enter the Fascenario 3 Aston Martin Edition by Storck Bicycles.
The British luxury carmaker teams with renowned bike maker Storck to come up with a limited edition road bike. With just 107 examples, the Fascenario 3 Aston Martin Edition utilizes the latest in carbon fiber technology for the frame and forks to realize optimum weight savings and performance. Think just 770g for the frame weight while the entire bike tips the scales at just 5.9kg.
Apart from the lightweight materials, Aston Martin’s very own bespoke division, Q by Aston Martin, lent a hand in providing some cool features to the road bike. A notable touch is the SRAM wireless gear shifters. These work in the same manner as the paddles on Aston Martin’s road cars—right to upshift and left to downshift.
Another cool Q touch is the Argentum Nero paint finish. Depending on the light, the shade of green can turn into grey or silver for a unique vibe. And of course, the carbon fiber used on the frame, along with the design of the forks, give the bike better aerodynamic efficiency and performance while on the move.
Conceptualized by Storck Founder Markus Storck together with Aston Martin EVP and Chief Creative Officer Marek Reichman, the Fascenario 3 Aston Martin Edition is the product of a partnership that has seen such projects as the Aston Martin Vanquish One of Seven. The limited edition bicycle was unveiled at the 2017 Rouleur Classic in Victoria House, London.
