No compromise
- Extremely aerodynamic yet among the lightest frames in the world and
with excellent stiffness & compliance properties.
New profile downtube - Our work
into improving the downtube and headtube on the P3 Carbon has directly
benefited the Soloist Carbon.
Horizontal teardrop-shaped sloping
toptube - Since the toptube has a slope to it, the aerodynamics
can be improved by giving it the proper airfoil cross section in the
direction of the airflow.
Stealth aero headtube – While
the headtube may look round at the front, this is an optical illusion.
The headtube is ultra thin and only 1mm wider than the P3 Carbon
headtube. Although the leading edge is kept straight, the sides neck
down in the center section, resulting in a very good airfoil shape
around the headtube in combination with a classic side profile.
Oversized bottom bracket area
– The increased volume of the bottom bracket area provides even
greater bb stiffness so that Jens can continue to power away from the
competition. The smooth contours of the BB volume help both for this
BB stiffness and also for its strength as the fibers have a much more
continuous path to transfer the loads better.
Wolf seatstays – The seatstays
have an asymmetric design from our Wolf family of airfoil shapes,
designed for optimal airflow around a thin frame member interacting
with a spinning wheel.
Laterally stiffened chainstays
– The chainstays feature a new design to further improve the lateral
stiffness at the bottom bracket as well as the torsional stiffness of
the frame.
ICS Internal Cable Stops - The
best internal cable stop system available. Easy to install, easy to
service, easy to keep clean and improved aerodynamics.
