Since Cervelo claimed the first aero road bike in 2003 with the Soloist and many manufacturers have followed suit.Until 2019,The aero road bike really start to take off.

Every manufacturer has jumped on the aero bandwagon or gone full aero for their high-end bikes in 2019. At this moment ICAN haven’t jumped on the aero bandwagon,. To Follow the trend of the market and meet the needs of customers, ICAN have been working through our aero designs, and  releases the first AERO Road Disc Bike ICAN A9.

AERO Road Disc Bike A9 has top-notch configuration in the same price range.

Alex ,the Marketing Director from ICAN Cycling said :" We have followed the growth of aero bikes and their developments very closely. We have taken the science and fact that works and discarded the marketing fluff that comes with many of these new releases.We wanted to build an aero frameset and bike that quietly went about slicing through the air,which is our goal.

ICAN is a rapidly growing brand in the bike industry since 2009. Customers can find our footprints in major forums.Our products have always been loved by customers, so it is an inevitable trend to develop our own Road Disc Bike.”

The features of A9

The A9 like all of ICAN products is constructed from carbon fiber. They won’t give the carbon fiber a different name to disguise the quality of the quality of the carbon fiber they are selling you.

They use a blend of Toray T700 and T800 carbon fiber as the A9 main material. Toray T700 and T800 carbon fiber is currently one of the most mainstream materials in the carbon bike market. Many large manufacturers use it.

Now, what have they done with that carbon fiber? The first thing you might notice on the complete bike is that you can’t see any cable or hoses. They decided that there is no point in building an aero frameset if you are just going to let the cables flap about in the wind. So your cables are completely hidden using our new stem and frameset. Any watts that can be saved, they have saved them.

“When we think aero, we tend to think stiff bikes. There is a feature that ICAN first saw on the Merida Reacto, that of having a lower seat stays and they were intrigued. Testing allowed them to see that this design helped to bring the rear wheel in and shield it from the wind, it also gave a shorter wheelbase, and they’ll come back to that. It also causes the frame to be stiffer as the stays are shorter, the longer a set of stays get the more flex you encounter. Shorter stays also use less carbon fiber, so they are by default lighter as well. They really like the lower seat tube connection of our rear stays."The design director said.

The lowering of the seat stays and bringing the wheel in causes a few geometry changes. You will get a faster feeling bike thanks to bringing the rear wheel inwards.

ICAN Cycling found some people didn’t like all the way that bikes with short wheelbases. They found them too twitchy. They set to work on the geometry of the A9 to alleviate this issue. They ended up with geometry that is very close to that of a Scott Foil. Handily, it was a bike that many of our friends enjoyed riding. It is racy but has enough respite for ordinary mortals.

Fitting geometry

While testing the geometry they had to look at the fork, the fork’s offset and trail can be a significant factor in sorting the handling characteristics of your bike. ICAN also wanted a fork that blended into their frame, without any unsightly cutouts. ICAN wanted the frame and fork to appears as one and to work together to help you slice through the air.

ICAN's new fork and stem ended up looking very close to the new Specialized Venge front end, so did their new seat post, have you looked at the seatpost? It should be in a modern art gallery. 

Heading along

Thankfully though the head tube does not look a Venge’s, their headtube has been computer modeled and analyzed to make sure it will help guide you to victory in any sprints you might contest. If you would like to know what their head tube looks like ICAN feel their design is similar to that as found on the Willier Cento10, especially with it’s truncated tail design. That is why ICAN bike is so fast.

Chan，the CEO from ICAN said:"We have ridden all of the bikes mentioned here, we have cut them open, we have studied them, and we have worked out what worked on them and what didn’t. We feel we have achieved our aim to bring you the best aero bike for your money. We haven’t finished there though as we could also say that we have brought you the best aero disc brake bike for your money."

Good brake system

ICAN Cycling got all the way through this article, and the new A9 is designed around flat mount calipers. You can run a 160mm disc brake at the front and a 140mm disc brake at the back. So no matter how fast your push the A9 you can be sure of being able to stop in a hurry if you need to.

Other features they have added include thru axles. Thru axles allow you to discover the true braking power of road disc brakes. They also help to build a much stiffer wheelset and let all of your power be transmitted to the road. Thru axle wise, they have a 100 x 12mm at the front and 142 x 12mm at the rear.
