The AURUM MANTO is a high-performance gravel frameset created for riders who refuse to compromise between speed, capability, and ride quality.

Designed by Grand Tour champions Alberto Contador and Ivan Basso, the MANTO applies the same performance-first philosophy that shaped the acclaimed AURUM MAGMA road bike, reimagined for the demands of modern gravel riding. The result is a bicycle that feels equally at home chasing podiums, exploring remote backroads, or taking on the world's toughest gravel events.

Fast, responsive, and remarkably composed, the MANTO is engineered to deliver confidence across every surface while maintaining the lively ride characteristics expected from a true performance bicycle.

Engineered for Modern Gravel

Creating a fast gravel bike is about far more than tyre clearance. The MANTO has been engineered to balance four key performance characteristics:

The result is a gravel frameset that feels fast, predictable, and composed wherever the ride leads.

Advanced Carbon Construction

Every AURUM MANTO is handcrafted using carefully selected high-modulus carbon fibres, with each section of the frame engineered to suit the specific loads experienced during riding.

Advanced finite element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) have been utilised throughout the design process to optimise frame stiffness, tube shaping, and aerodynamic efficiency, producing a frameset that is both lightweight and exceptionally capable.
 

The MANTO has been designed around modern gravel riding and today's component standards.

With clearance for tyres up to 45 mm, the frameset delivers outstanding traction, comfort, and confidence across rough terrain while maintaining the quick, responsive handling expected from a premium performance gravel bike. The generous clearance also provides additional space for muddy conditions and mixed-surface adventures.

Internal cable routing keeps the cockpit clean and protected, while integrated top tube mounting points make it easy to carry essentials for long rides and gravel racing.
