The Hercules RC model which was first designed in 1997 has been renewed with the new Ulisse RC model. This is the new generation of the original rear carbon frame. Scandium is the new alloy used for the front triangle and it’s characteristic is a recrystallization of the metal to achieve uniform grain structure and increases strength and sturdiness. Scandium is also lighter and provides a smoother ride with better dampening qualities. A new RC2 carbon design for the chainstays and seatstays is incorporated in the new Ulisse RC.
