The Roark Solution - Mach 1
Aero down tube

With Roark, you have an option. One step above our Classic Frame, you will find our Aero Frame - all the good looks and simplicity of the Classic but with an aero down tube.

Unlike most titanium aero tubing, Roark down tubes have a distinct aero teardrop design. This shape is very difficult to achieve in titanium but with our aerospace background, it comes easy. While the aerodynamics of the down tube is important, this tube is also a critical element to frame rigidity. The teardrop shape terminates into a round profile that is 1-3/4” diameter creating a very rigid connection to the bottom bracket shell. This transitional shape cuts through the wind and insures that every pedal stroke transmits maximum power.

The Roark Mach 1 is quickly becoming our most popular frame. With the simple addition of the aero down tube, this frame takes on a new look that is favored by road riders and multisport athletes. Good looks and aerodynamic improvements for a small price increase.
