    I often get “I thought Eroica was only for vintage bicycles?” … well you’d be correct that Eroica has always been about celebrating vintage cycling culture and the ways things used to be. But Eroica also looks to the future, and just like those early racers took their road bikes to gravel when they had to, so we do it now on our modern gravel bikes so many years later. NOVA is Eroica’s answer to how modern cycling can be invited to the vintage fold. Come race your modern gravel bike at NOVA Eroica! Click here to view the article

    With the recent fires raging through Jonkershoek, one of Western Cape’s most popular riding spots has been reduced to dust and ashes. If it wasn’t for the exceptional and brave work of the fire fighting teams, there is no doubt the damage would be far more severe and far reaching. Thankfully though, there is a hidden gem just over the Helshoogte Pass that will help keep your trail stoke high. The gem I am speaking of is the Boschendal Wine Estate, it has roughly 72km of trails spread out over the various routes which cater to different fitness and skill levels.

The affected cockpits (CP0018 and CP0015) are only installed on the current Aeroad models CF SLX and CFR. The Aeroad CF SL model is not in any way affected by this issue.
