Core Technology

• 3D+ - For our newest generation of bikes, we wanted to push our 3D System even further by merging it seamlessly with the frame
• Gravel Geometry - Our gravel geometry draws on our endurance geometry, itself directly inspired by our performance road race series, meaning handling, responsiveness and race-ready positioning are paramount.
• Topological Compliance System - To achieve the optimal balance of comfort and performance for our endurance line, we needed geometry uniquely aligned with the demands of long-distance riding and racing. In conjunction with the best geometry, we also needed to optimise frame topology and carbon layup.
