Aurum is the exclusive bike brand from the multiple Grand Tour champions, Alberto Contador and Ivan Basso. Their two current road bike models, the Magma and Essentia, come with a Grand Tour price tag, with the top-spec version of the Magma priced at an eye watering €13,199. You do get the thirty years of combined experience in the pro peloton from Contador and Basso built-in though.
Aurum claims their bikes are the highest-performance available and they now throw their hats into the best gravel bike market with the new model, the Manto, which they say is the ultimate gravel racing bike. It follows the same fairly high pricing at €3,499, which is just for the frame, and with the same performance and principles as its road sibling, the Magma, but with gravel-specific geometry.
