BlackHeart Road AL: High-Performance Meets High-Value
Explore the BlackHeart Road AL—a premium, customizable road bike with a budget-friendly twist. Perfect for racers and casual cyclists alike.
BlackHeart Bike Co. from Venice Beach, California, is set to enrich their product line with the Road AL, a fresh addition joining its well-regarded sibling, the Road Ti. Unveiled at this year's Sea Otter Classic, the Road AL embodies the same elite characteristics as the Road Ti but targets a more budget-friendly segment. This aluminum-framed road bike carries the promise of a robust performance, fit for both competitive racing and casual jaunts around town.
The Road AL is equipped with premium 7005 double-butted aluminum, offering a smooth ride with a dash of aerodynamics thanks to its custom aero Kammtail downtube and other sleek features. BlackHeart also spices up the deal with their signature custom Cerakote paint program, allowing riders to select from 137 vibrant colors for a truly personalized bike. Positioned as a high-value option in the market, the Road AL is designed for speed enthusiasts who demand performance without the hefty price tag.
