Storck Aernario White/Black, 57cm Description

Storck designed the Aernario with one principle in mind -- balance. Basically, Markus Storck strove to seamlessly mate the aerodynamic frame design of its Aero time trial bikes with the rigidity, handling, and comfort of its Fascenario 0.7. We would say that he succeeded. If you"re familiar with "aero-frames," you probably don"t own one, because you either loathe the aesthetic or find that watts that you save in drag reduction are tacked back on by poor power transfer and handling. To alleviate this problematic syndrome, Storck created what it calls "sectional aerodynamic shaping." However, it helps to think of this as an aerodynamic profile on the horizontal plane. By this, we mean that the Aernario"s teardrop profile (NACA if you"re savvy) takes shape horizontally rather than vertically. So, when viewing the frame from the side, it looks like a traditional road frame. However, if you were to take a cross-section, its aero-shape would become strikingly evident. In addition to the tube profile, Storck also improved aerodynamics and comfort by cleverly hiding the seatpost bolt under the top tube. By doing this, the tube shape is further streamlined, while shortening the seatpost increases comfort. Accordingly, the Aernario sees nothing but gains on all fronts. As for the carbon fiber, itself, the Aernario was constructed from Storck"s own CFR/UD carbon fiber, with the UD designating "uni-directional." Why uni-directional? Well, compared to a woven carbon fabric, uni-directional carbon is oriented as it sounds, with one direction, or on one axis. And while this makes the production process incredibly more complicated in regards to load path and force direction determination, the payout is worth it to Storck. You see, compared to woven layups, uni-directional fibers tend to better stiffen frames, while also improving the characteristic of vibration dampening. And incredibly, this is achieved at a much lower overall weight.
