The frame has a dedicated fork weighing just 290 grams. The frame has elliptical tubes, with the over-sized down tube, while the horizontal tube has a smaller size. The rear triangle has the chaistays big and seatstays smaller. This option will allow to have a bike with a good lateral stiffness and good comfort. The head tube is relatively long, while the seat tube has an elliptical cross section near the front derailleur and round up. The bike team is then assembled with the group Campagnolo Record adopted with controls, front and rear derailleur, crankset, brakes, chain and sprocket.
