AQUILA EQUIPE EVO 2.0 Ultegra R8170 Di2 ROAD BIKE
- Description
THE EVOLUTION CONTINUES
During the development process of making the Equipe model better than ever before, we thought it was only suitable to attach the EVO designation to this project. EVO represents an evolution of always reaching for new heights. Since the launch of the Equipe EVO in 2018, our desire to keep pushing to be better, faster, and stronger hasn’t stopped.
All in one.
Removed are the days of having to own multiple road bikes. No longer do riders require an aero bike, a climbing bike, or an endurance bike… the reality is that isn’t a reality for most. Having one bike that can get the job done of multiple bikes is here.
What if you could have a bike that maximized aerodynamic efficiency, climbed like a mountain goat, and was surprisingly plush on those long training rides.
That bike is the Aquila Equipe EVO.

Designed in Canada · Equipe EVO 2.0
THE EVOLUTION CONTINUES
The Aquila Equipe EVO represents the evolution of a platform that is entering its third iteration. Passed down are the genes that we believe are the key ingredients to making a road bike that is unmatched. When we set out to develop this project, we had several goals that we strived to reach. The previous generation Equipe was a prime example of a bike that is tremendously balanced. It is very light, predictably responsive, had deceiving torsional rigidity and exuded comfort. This combination made for a very purposeful race machine. Over the past 5 years, bikes have changed at a rapid rate. The advancements that we see today amongst many of the bikes warranted a revision to the Equipe platform. However, we weren’t looking to reinvent the wheel. We were looking to make it better.
Features
Why the Equipe EVO 2.0
DESIGN THROUGH CFD
Pulling 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.
FULL INTEGRATION
Full integration with a one-piece bar/stem: the 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 BETTER
It’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, and the EVO accepts up to 32mm tires. 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.
