Technology
The geometry of the frame, the orientation of the fibres and the layering of the members are designed to guarantee an immediate response and to achieve excellent levels of torsional stiffness and lightness.
The internal connectors, made of special aluminium alloys for aeronautical applications, make the structural nodes safe and stable for safe and full control over dirt tracks, rough roads and mixed terrain.
Comfort
Wood offers a natural ability to absorb vibrations, having a high internal damping factor.
The frame architecture is designed to enhance these characteristics, taking riding pleasure to the highest level even on long rides, especially on bumpy or uneven trails.
