MA-AFO Black Matte Force eTap
MA-AFO is DARE’s newest ultra-lightweight competitive road bike that will reign over mountains and races!
Born from the pursuit of extreme climbing, MA-AFO possesses all the details a cyclist could hope for!
We are dedicated to building the highest performance and best quality into each DARE bike.
A Revolutionary Material: Graphene
We’ve used cutting edge materials in innovative technology- Graphene and impact-resistant epoxy resin with prepreg carbon fiber, constructing an even lighter and stiffer frame with increased impact resistance. Compared to previous MR1sDB, the new MA-AFO’s stiffness increases by 15%, yet its weight is 15% lighter!
More Linear, More Fitted, and Easier to Climb With
Based on feedback from the previous MR1sDB and from professional teams, the new MA is adjusted for more linear sizing, and maintain the same reach with a lower stack for better ergonomics. With this configuration, more power output and stability is possible while climbing, as well as improved aero performance when returning to a level road.
