The CHPT3 x Aquila Ka.dre team is a collection of cyclists that aspire to contribute to the evolution of a more modernized culture around the sport of cycling. The team hopes to inspire a new wave of riders, and break the stigma of cycling being rigid and exclusive.
Ka.dre members are currently testing the new Equipe Evo model, which will be available in a limited “R” version. What differentiates it from the current Equipe Evo model is a unique blend of higher tensile torayca carbon from Japan, which results in a lighter more agile frame. Further, a revised head tube, front fork, and rear seat stay design, improve the aerodynamic efficiency of the frame. The crown of the front fork, and rear seat stay junction have been widened by 0.5 cm on either side to allow air to pass through the front fork and exhaust through the rear seat stays. Instead of trying to manipulate air as it travels, we engineered it to pass through the frame undisrupted making the bike more aerodynamic and more predictable in a multitude of different wind conditions.

DESIGN THROUGH CFDFor everything that the previous Equipe brought to the road, it did lack in the aero department. With the understanding that improvements in aerodynamic efficiency can come at a price of increased weight, and increased vertical stiffness, we had to think out of the box in how we could improve in that area, without disrupting the cherished mannerisms of the previous Equipe. Through the use of CFD software, we needed to grasp an understanding as to where the breaking point for aerodynamics was throughout the different shapes of the frame. When its peak was met, we started to change the shape of the different tubes on the frame, rounding them off to reduce weight and encourage more vertical compliance. -
FULL CABLE INTEGRATIONThe function and form of concealing the cables is undeniable. Not only because of its super clean appearance, but furthermore adds to the aerodynamic prowess of the bike. The Equipe EVO features the new ACR integration system from FSA, which allows all the cable to route through the bar, stem, headset and into the head tube, where the cables are distributed throughout the frame.

BIGGER IS BETTERIt’s no secret that larger tires on road bikes can untap some hidden efficiency. The days of narrow 23mm, cranked up to 120psi + are in the rear view. Wider tires present the ability to run lower pressures, which help to shorten the linear contact patch on the pavement, therefore allowing the wheels to turnover faster. The lower pressures also allow for the tire to take on a more efficient shape which creates greater adhesion while rolling, improved cornering, and increases comfort, without adding more rolling resistance.
The Equipe EVO allows for a best in class max tire width of 32mm. -
DUAL EFFICIENCYPulling out all the stops in the name of aerodynamics is something that we caution. Many aero focused bikes feature seat posts that are designed purely around being as aero as possible. The seat post is a critical contact point for the rider and this section of the frame is under the most vertical load. Shaping the seat post to be as aero as possible adds weight through more material being used to retain structural integrity, but more importantly stiffens up this area which translates to a less than forgiving ride. The Equipe EVO features a D shaped seat post, which is a blend between an aero shape, and cylindrical shape, which helps to balance out the efficiency of the seat post making it as light, aero and comfortable as possible. -
STOP ON A DIMEWe opted not offer the Equipe EVO with anything other than flat mount hydraulic disc brakes. While still a debate amongst many cyclists on whether or not disc brakes are warranted on road bikes, we believe that the pros of having them outweighs the cons. What goes fast, must equally stop as fast, and disc application is superior in that regard.
