"Rose focuses on aero and performance with their new Shave series. Their top spec'd Shave FFX utilizes aerospace-grade Torayca M40X carbon for a ridiculously light frame. But they didn't leave out the endurance athlete with the Shave. For those looking for a bit more of an all-day comfort experience, Rose gave the Shave their AergoConcept design."
"Aerodynamics was the centerpiece of the new Shave, with the Rose Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tool serving as the basis for its aero design. The CFD tool essentially acts as a virtual wind tunnel, where they use software-based analysis methods to simulate air flow around a bike. Using CFD, Rose can see the effects of geometry and component changes significantly easier. They were also able to consider the shapes and junctions of each individual section of the frame."
"Rose accomplishes this with their all-new AergoConcept. Using the CFD tool, the Shave was designed with geometry that leans slightly toward the endurance cycling side of things. When compared to the Shave FF or FFX, the Shave has a slightly shorter top tube, and longer head tube, chainstays, and overall wheelbase. It also has a slightly slacker head tube angle, seat tube angle, and a touch lower bottom bracket."
Rose's Shave series balances aerodynamic performance with all-day comfort through dedicated geometry and material choices. The top-spec Shave FFX uses aerospace-grade Torayca M40X carbon to create an exceptionally light frame. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) served as a virtual wind tunnel to optimize individual frame sections, shapes, and junctions before producing an optimized prototype for real wind tunnel testing. The Shave incorporates the AergoConcept, moving geometry slightly toward endurance: a shorter top tube, longer head tube and chainstays, extended wheelbase, slacker head and seat tube angles, and a marginally lower bottom bracket to maintain speed on long rides.
