TESTING

During the development of MANTO, the AURUM team led by Contador and Basso spent countless hours testing different prototypes. This was a necessary exercise to confirm the numbers drawn for the geometry, both for the handling and fitting. But even more importantly to fine-tune the bike’s riding characteristics. These characteristics are defined not only by the shape and size of the tubes, but very crucially by the materials and manufacturing used to mold them.

MANTO FRAMESET SPECIFICATIONS

Each MANTO frame is handcrafted using an advanced combination of different grades of carbon fiber, selected as the most appropriate based on the various stresses experienced in the different parts of the frame. The result is strong, rigid and light.
