AURORA x Peter Aurisch - "Bike 1"
Again, it took more time than I was hoping, but in the end everything turned out really great. I hope you like this collection, read on to learn more!

For this late summer collection I teamed up with a friend of mine, Arif Demir, he is a graphic designer and typographer. He played around with our „The Kids all Ride“ slogan and came up with a really nice script version and a great Pixação version. Especially the Pixação, a tagging/graffiti style from the southeastern metropolitan areas in south america, version look awesome, with it’s bold lettering.
The „TKAR Script“ is available as a Baseball Longsleeve Shirt. The „TKAR Pixa“ is available with a large black print on a white or grey heather shirt and also as a special reflective version! The reflective version features a large reflective print on a black shirt!

AURORA Spring/Summer 2014 – part one

AURORA "Reflex V3" Hooded Zipper

Spring is here and so is the first part of the AURORA Spring/Summer 2014 collection.

It consists of five T-Shirts and a light Hooded Zipper.
But it would understate the case, if I leave it without any explanation.
All these new garments are 100% Made in Europe, made under fair working and also trading conditions. Besides these important factors, all garments are newly developed from scratch. The T-Shirts and Hooded have a custom fit made after my requirements. From now on every AURORA garment, will be produced just for AURORA!

I’m really proud of this first run and I think they turned out great. It took some months to get everything as it should be, but the result is stunning and I can’t wait to hear your feedback.

The details on all pieces are AURORA-like and finally a lot more ideas I had for a while, came to life in these pieces. Custom cut, functionality, photoprints and reflective designs.

AURORA "Rad Races" Shirt - white

Another landscape impression on the “Road to nowhere” Shirt and the all new AURORA “Pocket” Shirts, featuring a practical backpocket to store your keys, wallet, mobile or tool while riding.

The AURORA “Pocket” Shirt is available in two versions. The “Reflex Pocket” Shirt features a high quality reflective fabric on the back. It’s the same fabric Nike uses for their reflective running gear, it’s state of the art and the best you can get. The pocket is durable and with the reflective fabric, it helps you to be seen at night.

If it get’s colder outside, just put on the new AURORA “Reflex V3″ Hooded Zipper, it’s not that heavy, but comfortable and made from super soft fabric made of 50% cotton / 50% polyester. It features a large reflective 3M print on the back, to offer visibility at night.
The Hooded Zipper also got a custom cut, that means it is slightly slimmer to prevent flapping while riding and the body is a bit longer.

schindelhauer “Urban Pedal” + AURORA Velcro Straps V2

schindelhauer "Urban Pedal" + AURORA Velcro Straps V2

When it comes to building up a bike, finding the right pedal is one of the most difficult tasks. Depending on the frame and bike design, there is need for something that fits, looks good and also works well. A bike for the daily commute needs to be durable and light. While commuting most people don’t want to wear cleats and cycling shoes, with sneakers or leather shoes it’s difficult to find a solution that doesn’t damage the shoes but still performs well.
Our friends from schindelhauer developed a pedal that is exactly what a lot people where searching for.
It’s bridging the gap between classic road pedals and large platform pedals. A sleek and modern design with a flat surface and super low profile.
Made from premium high-strength aluminium, with reduced dimensions to save weight. Instead of the usual pins and small contact area on normal pedals, the schindelhauer “Urban Pedale” uses a flat top with 3M grip tape to secure the shoe on the pedal. This prevents the shoes from damage, but also secures them well while riding.
The schindelhauer “Urban Pedal” works perfect with our AURORA Velcro Straps V2, it seems that these pedals were designed just for them.
Together this combination offers a safe and comfortable stand and all around perfectly distributed force.

Specs:
- CNC machined high-strength aluminium
- sealed industrial bearing combined with a plain bearing
- CrMo steel axles
- durable 3M premium grip tape
- weight: 300 g/pair
- available in black and silver

You can order your pair of schindelhauer “Urban Pedals” without or with our recommended AURORA Velcro Straps V2.

Order your set up now!
