In the splendid scenery of the Dolomites, Arabba, the FRW patron Claudio Brusi presented the new range for 2010.
The "Jolly Claudio", so he is presented to the press, presented the new collection and explains the commercial development of the Company. By 2010 all bikes will be equipped with FRW bottle and bottle cages, while the pedals already from last year were part of the standard specification. “One way to further improve the value for money of our products”, said Brusi. The range, then, expands with the new model Brigitta, a fitness bike, well maintained and finished with exceptional godmother: Brigitta Bulgari. But not only that the novelty for 2010. Join the World Junior Champion Mtb Gerald Kerschbaumer, who has won the iris with the model Lancer, accompanied by the great champion Huber Pallhuber. It's an opportunity to recall the product quality FRW, but also friendship with Claudio and Huber each other, the beginning of an adventure, many years ago and continues today with the young Gerald and not missing a moment of real emotion in rethinking those moments that still warms the heart of Brusi. Is Cristian Gasperoni, the former trader for some years alongside the technical definition of Claudio and testing of various models, which explains the new for 2010. For the road range the model Sonoma has been completely renovated. Wrapped in a frame made entirely of carbon 3K Italy, with a series of steering a differentiated, bottom bracket "press fit", fork Mizuno and integrated seatpost. A frame that is below the kg only a matter of reliability and driveability. Cristian tells us that they had also created a frame even lighter, but in speed created vibration, better this, he adds, that is stable and secure. Just Brusi puts the emphasis on safety factor and reliability: “Our goal is to have a reliable product and we are pleased with the results we have achieved so far”. The model Napa Valley is based on a monocoque chassis weighing just 950 grams. Carbon is UD and the version with Shimano Dura Ace Di2 is appropriately modified and tightened the points needed for battery and cables inside. A bike very competitive and suited to cycling tourist who want even half lightweight and responsive. It also presents the Hunters Hill and Diamond Heights, both of these bikes we have already spoken in two complete tests that we invite you to read. Confirmed the model Charlotte, introduced last year, always with UD carbon frame. For aluminium frames, the top range model Nob Hill, the Scandium aluminium, a lightweight frame (1100 grams), stiff and responsive. An ideal choice for the professional because it allows significant benefits both in terms of weight especially hard. A reliable frame, as emphasized by Cristian, who in the hands of agonists has been very successful, running well in the past World Cup. A choice that goes out of fashion of carbon, to focus only on the technical side. A frame made in Italy that can be achieved even on that measure and the absolute performance Cristian has no doubts: “A frame like this is ideal for competition, because light, stiff and reliable pity that the "fashion of carbon" the bound to a niche market made by enthusiasts competent and attentive to the technical”. Then two more confirmations: Hunters Point and Potrero Hill. Unchanged from last year, have the first of 7005 aluminium frame with double thickness, the second is distinguished by the high carbon rear stays for improved vibration absorption. For the MTB range confirmed the model Eldorado, high modulus carbon monocoque T60 manufactured by Toryca and surface finish in carbon 1K. Harder also confirmed the model, of which you can read the road test, and the hydroformed titanium Axum model. Recall that the Axum is the bike with the rider Marco Aurelio Fontana near the podium in Beijing Olympics. Then the model Lancer with Scandium hydroformed aluminium, fresh winner of the World Title, even in this case a confirmation from the model of last year. Instead renewed looms Saphir and West Lake. Confirmed, again, the model and the model Big Bear full FXC, in two versions, Pro and Comp. Update the rich and comprehensive range of hiking and bike fitness at its peak now sees the new model Brigitta. This is based on a double-butted aluminium frame with carbon fork and tube down. The geometries are designed specifically for women. The pedals are dual function: normal and quick release. We point out finally that the whole range FRW, both road and mtb, has been updated, as necessary, with new groups. In any case underlines the adoption entire groups (whether that Campagnolo Shimano) that a component of overall quality. Ritchey components, wheels Mavic or Campagnolo / Fulcrum, saddles Selle Italia, Vittoria tires or Geax. In general, we observed a very high quality standards of components associated with the various groups, such as wheels Mavic R-SYS associated groups and Dura Ace Fulcrum R0 associated with Campagnolo Super Record group. Mtb same speech for the industry, with the addition of brake systems and ranges of high quality.
