Aurumbikes

AURUM Bikes – Born from Experience | AURUM is the exclusive bike brand of Alberto Contador and Ivan Basso. What is AURUM? AURUM is the bike brand of Alberto Contador and Ivan Basso. Alberto Contador is one of Spain’s most successful and internationally renowned cyclists. Famous for being one of only seven riders in history to win the Giro d’Italia, Tour de France, and Vuelta a España, a lesser-known fact is that—alongside Bernard Hinault—Contador is the only rider to have won each Grand Tour more than once. He is also the sole four-time winner of the prestigious Vélo d’Or award. Alberto raced professionally with top-tier teams, including ONCE, Discovery, Astana, Saxo-Bank, and until his retirement from professional racing, Trek-Segafredo, where he bowed out by winning the final mountain stage and the most aggressive rider prize at the 2017 Vuelta. In different roles, Alberto Contador and Ivan Basso crossed paths in three of these teams. Ivan Basso, the retired Italian cyclist known for his two overall Giro d’Italia victories in 2006 and 2010, spent many years at the pinnacle of professional cycling, racing for teams like Fassa-Bortolo, CSC, and Liquigas. Born from Experience Contador and Basso share the mindset and dedication of serial winners. Now, retired from professional cycling, they’ve been free to create their dream bike: AURUM. The name AURUM reflects the brand’s passionate character and the Latin connection between Alberto (Spain) and Ivan (Italy). AURUM means "gold" in Latin—the material of champions, the most prized medal, and the top step of the podium. It embodies Contador and Basso’s relentless drive for success, whether in racing or entrepreneurship, and their belief that Magma will set the benchmark for high-end road bikes.
