bike ahead composites THE SUPERFAST - SRAM Rival - Carbon Gravel Bike - 2026

bike ahead composites THE SUPERFAST - Gravel without compromise

The THE SUPERFAST is an exceptional gravel bike that is developed and manufactured in Germany. It combines maximum performance with a wide range of customization options and is aimed at anyone looking for a bike without compromise. A competition bike requires characteristics that are normally contradictory: extremely low weight combined with maximum stability, high stiffness with noticeable comfort. The THE SUPERFAST achieves precisely this balance through its consistently well-thought-out design.

Details of the bike ahead composites THE SUPERFAST

Frame construction at the highest level

The frame, fork, and cockpit were designed as a technical unit and are perfectly coordinated. The main frame is made in one piece using a monocoque construction method. All carbon layers are bonded under pressure to form a particularly strong structure. Only a few manufacturers have mastered this complex process, as it differs significantly from the usual series production method, in which individual frame parts are glued together.

The fork and cockpit are also manufactured using this high-quality monocoque construction method. The entire frame set features fully integrated cable guides: the cables run through the handlebars into the stem and from there directly into the frame and fork.

Functional lightweight design

THE SUPERFAST stands for consistent lightweight design, in which every component is designed to be as light as possible – without compromising function. Thanks to the exceptionally high manufacturing quality, there is no need for paintwork. This saves weight and gives the bike its characteristic matt, shimmering carbon look.

Even the smallest details contribute to weight optimization: the bottle cage screws are made of hollow-drilled titanium and weigh only 1.06 grams per piece. The sum of these precise details makes THE SUPERFAST one of the lightest gravel bikes in the world.

The version with storage compartment also comes with a TPU inner tube, Schwalbe tire lever, Topeak CO² cartridge, Topeak mini tool, and Topeak chain tool.
