The SILKCARBON in its Sport/Cross version is equipped with well-conceived and high-quality technology features – as should be the case for a high-end bike like this one.
The beating heart of the Comfort Concept are the ultra-thin curved VIBREX® seatstays attached to the VIBREX® monostay. Special carbon fibres and their layup make the frame extremely flexible. Why’s that good? It ensures smooth riding on rough terrain – and that makes all the difference in terms of riding fun!
Bike classification: ASTM category 2
