SHIMANO BR-RX400 Hydraulic Disc Brake
The completely internal ICS2 wiring system achieves unbeatable integration and aesthetics, as well as protecting the system against all external agents that may affect its functionality.
The 1.5 -1.5 oversized steering system increases the rigidity of the head tube, providing more precise and safer driving, increasing stability when cornering.
The 3BS technique is based on the hydroforming process. The tubes are pressed and then pressurized to achieve variable wall thicknesses along the span. The technology ensures a good stiffness to strength ratio without compromising the weight of the final product.
The SOFTEX suspension system opens a new category between a Hardtail and a Full suspension bike. The first component of the system is TIBIA, a compliant carbon seat post that absorbs the small bumps across the road acting as a damper. On the other hand we have the Active Seat Stay (ASS), it is a mechanism based on sectioned shaped Seat Stays and Chain Stays with integrated bearings that together with an engineered supple Lay up helps the rider to go through rough terrain faster. All the elements mixed together will extract a total vertical travel of 28mm giving an extended comfort and higher absorption compared to a regular Hardtail bike.
HM2X carbon is engineered using T700 and T800 Toray intermediate-modulus fibres. Used strategically across key frame areas, this dual blend of carbon material is laid up to produce an optimal combination of stiffness while also prioritising comfort.
EPS is the inner core made of a self-formulated polystyrene that acts by expanding inside the frame during the curing phase. During this process, the temperature and pressure are controlled to guarantee the carbon compaction process in its different zones. This innovative system allows optimal carbon stratification and the elimination of excess resin. With EPS you get a high quality frame with a compact, strengthful and lightweight structure.
