VUAE ETIHAD, ETIHAD PRO & ETIHAD PRO+ — Carbon Road Bikes
Distinctive UAE flag-inspired design. High-performance carbon engineering. Three drivetrain configurations built for riders who demand speed, precision and performance.
A Distinctive Design. A Performance-Driven Ride.
The VUAE Etihad is a performance-oriented carbon road bike that combines a distinctive UAE flag-inspired frame design with a high-modulus T800-grade carbon frameset and modern road cycling technology.
Its striking frame graphics give the Etihad a distinctive identity, while the aerodynamic frame profile, integrated components, internal cable routing and hydraulic disc brakes create a clean, performance-focused road bike platform.
The Etihad range includes three models: VUAE Etihad, VUAE Etihad Pro and VUAE Etihad Pro+. All three share the same core carbon platform, with the main difference being the drivetrain configuration. Choose Shimano 105 mechanical shifting, Shimano 105 Di2 electronic shifting or Shimano Ultegra Di2 electronic shifting to suit your riding preferences.
