Light, High Performance Frames
There are several types of carbon fibers. They differ because of 2 main characteristics: stiffness, which is measured in giga Pascal (GPA), where the high modulous fibers are much stiffer and lighter; and resistance to traction, which is measured in mega Pascal (MPA).
They both have a very important role when designing a bicycle frame. After a lengthy phase of research, we have been able to manufacture several carbon fiber models, each unique in its weight, performance, and finish. Listed below are the different carbon fibers as used in our bikes.
All of our frames are manufactured with the same monocoque technology, from our top end model, the Cento, to the Mortirolo. The difference between the models comes from the type of carbon fiber used, the weight of the frame, the finish, and the design of the frame. The latest generation of the monocoque system offers frames that are lighter and better performing than those built using other technology.
T60
High modulus carbon fiber with a stiffness of 391 GPA and a resistance of 4608 MPA, with a performance up to 60% better than the standard modulus fiber. It is used in the Cento and Le Roi XL models.
T40
High modulus carbon fiber with a stiffness of 296 GPA and a resistance of 5488 MPA. It is used for the Le Roi XL, Izoard, Mortirolo and Solitario.
T30
Intermediate modulus carbon fiber with a stiffness of 284 GPA and a resistance of 5792 MPA. It is used in the Cento, Le Roi XL, Izoard, Moritrolo and Solitario models.
T24
Intermediate modulus carbon fiber with a stiffness of 264 GPA and a resistance of 5796 MPA. It is used in the Izoard, Mortirolo and Solitario models.
