As an entry level model in the “carbon” line, Nitro presents a comfortable and reliable frame to the amateur customer looking for a versatile bike, adequate for training and for a more professional use, confirmed by test-bed results in the Podium R&D lab.
“Solid Carbon” technology allows the creation of a monocoque frame with the absence of critical points throughout the whole block. This gives the Nitro structural rigidity, balanced by the anti-vibrating effect of the rear-end which is designed to contrast and absorb imperfections of the road surface.
Production uses a pressing technique that combines three different types of carbon, split into percentages according to statistical calculations derived from computer analysis of frame behaviour during road use: 80% T-700SC highly resistant carbon weave, 15% M30J-3K “High-Modulus” carbon fibre, 5% “High Strength” 60T carbon fibre and K12 carbon fibre weave for an even superficial aesthetic effect. The polymerisation of the fibres is done through a high-pressure autoclave with air-tight control during the whole thermal cycle.
Technical characteristics:
• Made with monocoque “SOLID CARBON” “technology
• Variable geometrical sections for the optimisation of frame thicknesses and weights
• Created using T-700SC, M30J 3K and 60T carbon fibre.
• Integrated 1” 1/8 headset
• “Speed” Carbon fork |
