Key Features
Unique forming capability produces an exceptionally profiled titanium frame that delivers 30% more lateral stiffness and related performance versus leading round-tube Ti frames.
Exclusive, future-proof design offers an exponential advantage with regards to stiffness, shifting precision, adaptability and durability.
Seamless, Grade 9 (3Al - 2.5v) titanium is cold-worked to optimize stiffness-to-weight in the frame without affecting the inherent qualities of Ti.
BB-386 titanium bottom bracket shell optimizes lateral stiffness where it counts. T-Lab’s meticulous post-machining ensures a “creak-free” ride.
Made completely to order based on rider specifications and preferences.
Compact back triangle, featuring asymmetrical chain stays, delivers added lateral stiffness and maximum maneuverability, all while accommodating the largest of road bike tires.
