THE TECH BEHIND
In-house excellence:
the power of local mastery
There is an unrivaled pride in keeping every stage of creation under our roof. Producing in-house allows us to maintain absolute control over every detail, ensuring that each frame meets our standards. By choosing to build locally in Sardinia, we don’t just manufacture bicycles: we preserve a legacy of craftsmanship, blending the intimacy of a local workshop with the precision of global innovation.
Carbon fiber perfection:
aluminum molds & silicone mandrils
To achieve the pinnacle of carbon fiber performance, we utilize a refined construction process involving precision aluminum molds and internal silicone mandrils. Unlike traditional methods, the use of silicone mandrils ensures uniform internal pressure during the curing cycle, eliminating structural voids and imperfections. When paired with high-tolerance aluminum molds, this technique allows us to craft tubes with flawless surface finishes and optimized wall thicknesses, resulting in a frame that is not only lighter and stronger but engineered for absolute structural integrity.
The Evolution of Form: 3D-Printed Titanium
3D printing, or additive manufacturing, redefines the boundaries of bicycle engineering.
By utilising aerospace-grade titanium powder, we can sculpt intricate geometries and internal reinforcements that are physically impossible to achieve with traditional machining. This precision allows us to strategically place material only where it is needed, optimising the strength-to-weight ratio and delivering a frame that is exceptionally stiff, remarkably light, and tailored to the unique biomechanics of the rider.
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT
CARBON
FIBRE
THE CHOICE OF FIBRE
In our pursuit of the perfect ride, we selected intermediate modulus carbon fibres. This choice represents the "sweet spot" of high-end engineering, offering a superior tensile strength that ensures exceptional rigidity while maintaining significantly higher impact resistance than more brittle, true high-modulus fibres.
To maximise the potential of this material, we employ a sophisticated dual-construction technique: towpreg for precision filament winding and UD prepreg. While UD prepreg allows us to reinforce specific stress points with surgical accuracy, filament-wound towpreg ensures a continuous, seamless structure for torsion resistance with perfect resin distribution. This synergy results in a frame that is not only incredibly reactive but inherently safer and more durable under real-world conditions.
