The new model FRW Hunters Hill incorporates the forms frame that last year was the Napa Valley, with a review of the stratification of the mix of high modulus carbon fiber used for its construction. The new Hunters Hill is made from high modulus carbon with a surface finish 3K.

The headset is classic, with Mizuno fork and straight stems. The tube has a polygonal cross section and large section bottom bracket with standard Shimano press fit. The top tube is flattened and broad, while the vertical pipe from home to the classic seatpost 31.6 mm in diameter. The rear triangle has a good section of the horizontal tubes and vertical thinner, slightly curved. The Shimano Dura Ace version is adopted in full, with commands, rear and front derailleur, sprocket, chain, crankset and brakes. The handlebar is Deda Elementi RHM 02 EL, while the stem is Deda Deda Elementi 02. The seatpost is Deda Elementi RS02 with saddle Selle Italia SL Kit Carbon. The wheels are Mavic Aksium WTS 2012, complete with tires Mavic Yksion K10. Two colours available, while the sizes are 5. No standard pedals and bottle cage. So assembled, the bike has a weight of 7.5 kg, as observed with our instrumentation.
