Aerus Review

Aerus Composites manufacturers high-quality bicycle components for racing bikes. Aerus is part of Blue Competition Cycles, which specializes in dedicated racing bikes and equipment. Aerus provides components for Blue Competition Cycles, focusing on using the latest composite materials to produce seat posts, stems, and handlebars for racing bikes. These include components for triathlon bikes, road bikes, and time-trial rides. Aerus components are also sold independently of Blue Competition Cycles. Aerus focuses on speed. All Aerus components are designed to be as light and strong as possible to give the rider all the available speed and power from his bike. To achieve this goal, Aerus uses full carbon composites and carbon alloys to reduce weight without sacrificing strength. Aerus’ components include both carbon-wrapped alloys and full-carbon molded pieces, including handlebars and seat posts. Since 2007, Aerus components have been featured on winning bikes in the Pan American Games, the NRC Championships, and on bikes in the Olympics. Aerus is also the maker of the Blue Speed line of clothing, which includes packs and jerseys for competitive cyclists. The Akona brand is a line of the Biospeed clothing and gear offered by Aerus and includes wheel covers, bike travel cases, and transfer bags. Generally, Aerus components are well-reviewed. Their line of carbon components is comparable to other mid-to-upper end carbon components on the market. Blue Competition Cycles focuses on racing components, which allows Aerus to use racers to design and test their parts. This testing gives Aerus an advantage in producing parts by and for racers.
