Do you finally want a road bike that stands out from the rest?
A bike that triggers pure motivation, desire and anticipation at the sight for the next ride?
A road bike with a special design that literally stands out from the crowd?
Then the BALDISO One (B1) is just the bike for you!
B1 stands for BALDISO one.
The first road bike collaboratively engineered by BALDISO and CarbonWorks.
The target:
To create a road bike that impresses
with its unique and special design
and really motivates you to do sport.
To make your road bike even more unique, you can choose your favourite colour(s) and design for the frame set. For a complete bike, you can also configure the groupset, wheels and other details completelly according to your wishes.
frame-set: from € 7,540
complete bike: from € 12,430

Your B1, your color - choose the frame set color that suits you
Specially adapted components have been developed for the B1. These include an aerodynamic 3-spoke wheelset that matches with the design. Customers can also choose ENNOBLE, Lightweight or Bike Ahead wheelsets from German cooperation partners for the complete bike.
The B1 will be delivered with the 9 grams CarbonWorks bottlecage. Another design element is an innovative bottle holder for two drinking bottles that is already in the final design phase.
The customer can choose between 1- or 2-speed chainrings. A special adapter allows you to mount a front derailleur.

For the derailleur hanger, we rely on the robust UDH standard from SRAM. This derailleur hanger was developed for crisp shifting performance and, thanks to the global standard, can be replaced at almost any bike dealer.
Look good, feel comfortable and still be fast
This is precisely why stiffness, stability, comfort and aerodynamics are so important. In addition to Simon's extensive technical know-how, we have brought other specialists such as BIKE AHEAD COMPOSITES on board.
Added to this is Sebastian's practical knowledge of approx. 300,000 km with dozens of different racing bikes.
We also drew on the expertise of a leading German institute for FEM and CFD simulations for the strength calculations and aerodynamic simulations.
A low frame weight is important.
However, we deliberately do not push the limits of what is feasible, but place more emphasis on safety and stiffness. Above all, the voluminous down tube and the seat stays ensure a very good stiffness-to-weight ratio.
The material that is saved in the seat tube can reinforce the crucial down tube, so that stiffness, stability, comfort and aerodynamics are at the absolute top level. Depending on the frame size, the weight of the B1 frame is between 1,000 and 1,100 grams. The total weight of the road bike varies between 7.1 and 8.0 kg depending on the selected groupset, wheels and other equipment.
The outstanding comfort, especially in the seating area, is achieved by the excellent flex, which is achieved by dispensing with a seat tube.
UPDATE: Successful tests of the BALDISO One (B1) and delivery date of pre-ordered bikes
We are pleased to announce the test results of the new BALDISO One bike. The first prototypes convince with outstanding stiffness in the bottom bracket, high comfort in the seat post and a remarkably low weight. This lays the foundation for the outstanding functionality of the B1.
Right from the start, the unique and special appearance of the BALDISO One met with a positive response. Nevertheless, some critics had doubts about the bike's stiffness and therefore its functionality due to the lack of a seatpost tube. However, these concerns were dispelled by the tests. The BALDISO One proves to be stiff, light and comfortable in the seating area. The innovative frame shape shows great potential.
‘In view of the high demand and the positive media attention, we have decided to go through another optimisation loop to make the bike even stiffer and lighter,’ says Sebastian Baldauf, founder of BALDISO.
The BALDISO One will therefore be available from a weight of 6.4 kg.
The good seating comfort is due to the flex of the missing seat post tube.
Optimisation work is already in full swing and series production is imminent. In concrete terms, this means that all pre-orders in size M will be delivered by October/November 2024. Sizes S and L will be available by the end of 2024 and early 2025 respectively.
The geometry
The geometry is based on a sporty and manoeuvrable road bike. However, we have designed it to be slightly more comfortable by extending the head tube. The high head tube area fits well into the design concept and at the same time avoids a high, usually unattractive "tower" of spacers under the handlebars.
The minds behind the project
Behind this innovative project is a team with an impressive mix of practice and theory, professional and hobby cycling, euphoria and reality as well as passion and determination.
