The extreme performance of this frame is a challenge that should be lived. High standard technological materials and our thorough knowledge of assembly techniques have made it possible to attain the strong yet light character of the Estremo Light frame ñ it weighs only 925 grams (rif. Standard size). This weight is achieved without bringing any disadvantage whatsoever to its safety, stiffness, comfort, durability or reliability. Each frame is manufactured in perfect accord with the athleteís individual measurements. The dimensions and thickness of the tubes used to make our Italian frames have been perfected over time by the evolution of our exclusive CARRERA R&D design using high-module carbon (HM) and highly resistant (HR) fibers. They are a matrix assembled and consoli-dated in a high pressure autoclave. The assembly is carried out using ìLaminated Carbonî technology. The tubes are laminated by manually applying the Carbon K3 fibers, then the parts that undergo major stress are reinforced with carbon-titanium and Vectran fiber. We then reinforce the sections where the accessories are to be secured with Kevlar. The composite frame achieves optimum strength after several passages through the furnace using the ìsackî technique. During production the frame undergoes up to 32 measurement checks and is finally spray-painted by hand. Our Monocoque Light forks weigh only 320 grams.
