NUMBERS DON'T LIE
Experience the new OSTRO VAM: lighter, faster, unbeatable. Now 250 grams lighter and 7 watts quicker with optimized Black Inc 48|58 wheels, it redefines responsive riding with unparalleled aerodynamic efficiency. Journey through our OSTRO VAM Launchbook as we guide you using the latest computer modelling tools to unlock aero performance gains that had been unthinkable.
Engineered For Speed
The goal was to create the lightest aero-oriented bike in the pro peloton. The OSTRO VAM is a bike that can be competitive on any terrain. It is ready to win sprints, conquer cobbled classics, and summit the climbs with the best.
Super-Thin Aero Seatpost
The seatpost is a slender 15mm in width, capitalizing on the latest UCI rules. Its profile is the result of an intensive study of its interaction with the chaotic airflow from the rider’s legs and a tireless R&D process. First, incremental iterations were sim tested, then rapid prototypes of the best shapes were wind tunnel tested to arrive at the best performing. The thin new seatpost is made possible by relocating the Shimano Di2 battery housing inside the seat-tube and mounted from behind the bottom bracket. This has the added benefit of avoiding seatpost removal for battery access, which reduces the risk mis-adjustment leading to incorrect height, slippage or damage from over-tightening.
Aero Integrated Bottle Cages
The OSTRO VAM comes with innovative bottle cages which are location-specific and integrated into the frame’s aerodynamics. The downtube cage acts to direct airflow from the downtube over a bottle, neutralising the drag of adding a bottle to the bike. The seat-tube cage works to reattach airflow to the seat-tube and it’s so effective that the bike is faster with the cage mounted and no bottle than with no cage at all, making it perfect for the finale of pro races when the second bottle has been discarded.
ULTRALIGHT SEATPOST CLAMP
The new pusher-type seatpost clamp is repositioned at the rear of the seat-tube where it distributes force over a large area to give a very secure fixation with a low torque, allowing a very lightweight clamp, a dramatic reduction in seat-tube width. This design has now moved the battery housing into the bottom bracket being more accessible and convenient.
NEW BLACK INC 48|58 WHEELS
The new Black Inc 48|58 wheelset was designed to complement the new OSTRO VAM and follows the 28|33 wheelset developed for the O2 VAM. The differentiated depths of 48mm front and 58mm rear were chosen to deliver outstanding aerodynamic performance while boosting stability in challenging wind conditions through the shallower front rim. The profile is optimized for 28mm tires, with a 23mm internal rim width and a continuously variable rate of curvature that boosts crosswind performance and predictable handling.
Immensely light and strong carbon fiber spokes laced to new, high-flange hubs dramatically boost responsiveness and help to keep the weight to an incredible 1,250g as tubeless clinchers. The rims feature a ‘mini hook’ which saves weight while preserving clincher compatibility
