It’s not a coincidence the TT looks like a stealth bomber. Everything on it was designed to cut through air and fly at low-altitude (We haven’t tested if it’s detectable by radar but we wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t). So maximise every watt and hit the afterburners with features like deep section SAS shaped tubes and seatpost, fork integrated front brake, undermount rear brake, Di2 compatible cable integration and EPS technology moulded T800 materials.

Toray 800 carbon
This frameset is manufactured with T800 carbon fibre. It is one of the best carbon fibres available on the market and is developed by the renowned Torayca Company in Japan. It exhibitsbalanced composite properties, which make it perfect for delivering a compliant yet stiff ride.
CRC50:80 carbon wheelset
This carbon wheelset combo is designed to give you maximum competitive advantage against the clock. With an 86mm deep rear rim for maximum time gains and a 56mm front rim to maximise manoeuvrability and safety. The rims feature a toroidal shape – which creates an efficient and versatile wheel that has similarly low drag on the leading and trailing side, as well as better crosswind stability, compared to a conventional V-Shaped deep section rim. These wheels use a basalt braking surface, designed to handle incredibly high temperatures while maintaining optimal braking performance and safety. A wide, 27.25mm outer rim width means they pair well with wider tyres, up to 28mm . They are built with Pillar bladed J bend spokes and cartridge bearings for easy servicing and replacement. The wheelset weight is 1910g.
EPS carbon forming technology
EPS stands for Expandable Polystyrene System. The EPS process results in a more even carbon layup and creates the best material and resin distribution during the carbon product manufacturing process. This enables us to make carbon frames in less pieces while making them lighter and stronger than using conventional methods. The EPS production process has many benefits: It increases rigidity and safety while decreasing the overall weight of the frame. Because our engineers have more control over the wall thickness, tubes can be tuned for stiffness as well as compliance depending on placement, which means more power delivery where you need it and comfort where it counts. This results in greater ride control with less wasted energy due to frame flex.
BB86 bottom bracket standard
The BB86 standard uses a wider bottom bracket shell, but with identical bearings to conventional threaded bottom brackets, only they're mounted in small composite cups before being pressed into the frame. The advantages to this system are weight savings, increased pedaling stiffness and it does not affect the BB width.
Direct mount braking system
These semi-integrated callipers, which first appeared in competition in 2012, are above all more aerodynamic. While a traditional calliper is attached to a single central bolt, the Direct Mount is attached to the frame with two fittings, one for each arm of the calliper. The fittings are directly built into the frame and the fork. The result is much greater rigidity, since the entire calliper is placed closer to the frame. The three greatest advantages of the direct mount system is that it’s lighter, more powerful and delivers better modulation in use.
Integrated seatpost clamp
The integrated clamp not only cleans up the aesthetics of the frame design, but also results in marginal weight and aerodynamic gains.
We'll come right out and say it. Our frames are produced using open design moulds. It allows us to put the value where we believe is best for you, the rider – into the production process and materials. Is an open mould absolutely unique, no. But the production techniques that go into the frame that comes out of them, are.
We choose open mould designs that we have thoroughly researched. We analyse and we test our frames - their geometries and ride characteristics and we talk to the designers that engineer them. We also only use open mould shapes that have been fully fluid dynamic tested so that you know you're getting an aerodynamically tested and efficient bicycle.
Not all open mould frames are created equal. We have carefully selected our factory production partners and we visit our factory regularly, to make sure that we know and trust the workmanship and materials that go into our bike frames. All our frames are produced using state of the art technology.
We laser cut all our carbon shapes that go into our frames and all the carbon we use is guaranteed Japanese Toray carbon fibre, the highest commercially available carbon fibre in the world.
We use only EPS moulding technology on all our frames - the latest process in carbon moulding technology. It allows us to create frames that are finished cleanly on the inside, while also allowing us complete control over the wall thickness of our tubing - this allows us to tune for strength, stiffness and compliance (comfort).
Our factory uses a full testing facility to ensure the quality of our frames. All of our frames are fully EU ISO certified and rated. Our Ascent and Aero models, as well as all our wheels, are also UCI compliant and are able to be raced at the highest international standard.
