The BH Aerolight is the ultimate road bike. A model that combines lightness – the raison d’être of the BH Ultralight – and aerodynamics – a specificity already noted on the BH G8. It features a new design style, with a new fork with a surprising shape, which makes it unique.

The BH Aerolight is the convergence of two paths. Two different ways of approaching road bikes. Aerodynamics and lightness. Do you have to choose between the two? The new Aerolight is BH’s answer to this question.
Aerodynamics has been one of the main characteristics of every new product launched by BH in recent years. Countless seasons of acquiring knowledge on the best way to gain seconds without expending extra energy. The accumulated experience, thanks to hundreds of hours of simulations and prototypes, now reaches its peak with the BH Aerolight.
The frame is made of tubes that incorporate the Kamm Tail shape already used in the past and now applied wherever possible on the bike. The teardrop-shaped section cut to the given height of each tube is the best solution for achieving optimal aerodynamic efficiency.
Air Bow, a step forward in aerodynamics
The surprising shape of the BH Aerolight fork is part of the Air Bow concept that has improved the overall aerodynamics of the bike. The same concept is applied to the rear triangle. The dimension of the inner area between the wheel and the fork has been maximized with the aim of circulating air between these two parts. Thanks to the extra space, air resistance is reduced, generating less turbulence.
The result on the road? The drag coefficient of the new BH Aerolight is improved by 15.9%. This results in a saving of 5 watts at high speed. In addition, the Air Bow concept helps eliminate road vibrations, giving you more control and comfort while riding, without affecting your performance.
950 grams, low weight and stiffness for an aero frame.
During the development of the new Aerolight, BH aimed to create a frame with aerodynamic lines, while maintaining a low weight and a high level of stiffness, essential characteristics of any competition bike. The carbon layup has been fully optimized, with the thickness of each point studied to obtain the best possible stiffness-to-weight ratio. In addition, by using the HCIM (Hollow Core Internal Moulding) manufacturing technique, BH has created a frame without any internal imperfections and has achieved optimal compactness. Less material means less weight, but not less performance. The result is a frame with aerodynamic lines weighing only 950 grams.
Total integration
The new handlebar/stem assembly forms a block with clean lines in continuity with the head tube which, with the fully integrated cabling, also improves its aerodynamics and appearance. This integration design is also reflected in the seatpost and its locking system incorporated into the frame, which adds stiffness and helps improve aerodynamics. Other specific features contribute to the clean look, such as the fully hidden quick releases that require no tools.
The Aerolight universe is enriched with a range of accessories that perfectly match the shape of the frame and preserve its aerodynamics. A hydration system consisting of a bottle and a bottle cage has been specifically designed; it does not impede airflow and complements the Aerolight Toolbox. In addition, road safety being paramount, BH has designed a rear position light discreetly integrated into the seatpost.
BH Unique, 32,000 combinations to create your unique BH.
Create a unique bike. This is the goal of the BH Unique program, which offers up to 32,000 color combinations so that your new BH reflects your personality. The BH Aerolight is eligible for the BH Unique program, but is also available in 5 different basic colors.
The new Aerolight range includes 4 models, starting from €5299.90.
