THE NEXT GENERATION
Harnessing aerodynamics, lightness, responsiveness and comfort in one bike is no longer a dream. Thanks to our engineers' expert carbon fibre lay-up techniques, our commitment to premium materials, and the unique control our own factory offers, the new OSTRO VAM performs in all areas. This isn't just innovation; it's a reimagining of performance on two wheels, all designed to deliver an unmatched cycling experience.

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.

FRONT-TO-BACK DEVELOPMENT
Our approach to the aerodynamic development was to learn how the bike’s shape could steer the air favorably around the rider. The leading edge of the bike has the greatest impact on flow behavior for two reasons. One, because it meets the cleanest airflow. And two, because it can be made to manage the air for all elements of the bike that follow. Starting with this concept, we focused on the front of the bike and worked backwards. Improvements in aerodynamics at the front have a cascading effect on the elements at the rear – both positive and negative. The goal is to capture the positive gains and propagate them downstream. In some cases, changes made in the middle of the bike even influenced the drag generated upstream. For this reason, we continually reassessed the front as we worked our way rearward.

INCREMENTAL RAPID GAINS
Using advanced aerodynamic principles, the development team conceived a set of focused concepts, then employed a method of rapid iteration and dynamic simulation for each to determine the best combination of shapes. This led to 111 separate simulation runs to evaluate the effect of every change both upstream and downstream. Design ideas were assessed in three ways: in isolation; as part of a complete bike; and dynamically with moving components and a pedalling rider. 3D visualizations were generated so that the airflow could be assessed not only in-plane but across the entire 3D space. This state-of-the-art flow analysis provided greatly enhanced understanding of the complex relationships between elements of the frame and allowed for a much deeper design optimization.
