SEKA ExAero Standard Aero Road Frameset (Nova)
EXAERO-NOVA_XS
SEKA's aero road platform in its Standard build — the same aero shapes and geometry as the flagship RDC frame, at a genuinely lighter price point.
Overview
The ExAero Standard shares its aero-optimised tube shapes and full race geometry with SEKA's flagship RDC frame — the difference is construction tier, not aerodynamic performance. At 935g for the frame, it's built from T1100 and M46J carbon fibre using SEKA's true-one-piece molding process, which forms the complete frame in a single mold rather than bonding separate sections together, prioritising structural stability over shaving the last few grams.
SEKA's own aero testing shows real gains from the complete system — up to 3.68 watts saved with the standard Gladius cockpit, or 11.63 watts with the ALTA riser cockpit, both measured as weighted CdA reductions. The frame's WindEye seatstay design also delivers genuine vertical compliance (106 N/mm) without sacrificing race stiffness.
This is a frame for riders who want the genuine aero platform SEKA built its reputation on, without paying flagship RDC pricing for a marginal weight difference that most riders won't feel.
Why You'll Like It
Same aero shape as the flagship RDC
Identical aerodynamic development and geometry to SEKA's top-tier frame — the difference is construction tier, not the aero numbers.
True-one-piece molding
The complete frame forms in a single mold rather than bonded sections, for genuine structural stability.
WindEye seatstay compliance
106 N/mm of measured vertical give at the seatstays takes the edge off rough roads without compromising sprint stiffness.
Fully internal, UDH-compatible
Modern SRAM Universal Derailleur Hanger compatibility and fully internal routing keep the build clean and future-proof.
Threaded BSA bottom bracket
Easier, lower-maintenance servicing than a press-fit design, with less risk of creaking over time.
Who Is It For?
This frameset suits club and amateur racers who want a genuine aero-race platform to build their own bike around, without paying flagship pricing for a frame weight difference most riders won't notice in real-world riding. It's a strong choice for anyone upgrading into their first serious aero road build.
In India, the 32mm tire clearance gives real flexibility to size up for comfort and grip on patchier road surfaces without giving up the frame's race intent.
