The frame with integrated seat post, has a series of steering a differentiated, with very short head tube, the fork is a monocoque, with characteristic straight stems. The area of the headstock is well proportioned and joins the top tube and oblique with a large reinforcement. Even the area of the bracket is constructed to have greater rigidity and is joined to the rear stay with slightly curved seat stay and the chain stay straight, but still contained by the section, at least compared to other frame tubes. The bike, the 2010 version, devised the internal cable of Shimano Dura Ace Di2, which is used to complete with controls, brakes, front and rear derailleur, crankset, chain and sprocket. Even the wheels and pedals are Shimano Dura Ace. The wheels are available with the popular tubular Vittoria Corsa Evo CX. Bottle cage is Tacx, while the saddle is Selle Italia. Stem and handlebars are Pro, the same brand Shimano aluminum. A bike that stands out for exclusive technical equipment, but that is very well built and equipped, overall high-level and among the best available pro.
