The new Storck Fascenario 0.6 introduces several new techniques, some of them very interesting and in future will certainly be taken by other competitors. The frame is a monocoque high modulus carbon. Has the special feature of the integrated brake. The front brake is integrated into the fork, so it has a more aerodynamic profile, but also a stiffer fork and body brake. Increases braking power and controllability of the system, because they generate less vibration, but also the stability and accuracy and speed in the entry of the corners after a sudden stop. Essentially abandoning the old pattern introd a new braking system that is generally lighter, but above all more rigid and better connected to the fork. In this way the forces are generated during braking to be better absorbed from the frame and fork, creating minor problems, which impact on braking on driving skills and the vehicle. A solution that will extend to other major manufacturers, if Storck was the first to officially present this solution, other manufacturers, in total autonomy and without knowing the solution Storck, have come to similar conclusions, as we have seen, having had the opportunity to view some projects and prototypes of future collections 2012. Even the rear brake adopts the same technical solution. This is integrated inside the tubes and high so you get better scalability, power brakes and a best set of the rear wheel under braking, because the forces generated are dispersed throughout the frame better. In addition to these solutions at the new crankset is completely carbon fiber. Many technical solutions are associated with the general aesthetics of the frame very classical, with the main tubes are great, but without exaggeration, as the headstock, with the classical bearings by 1 inch and 1/8. Still the same classic bottom bracket has standard size and does not have the classic over-sized. Five sizes available, while the weight of the kit frame (frame, fork, brakes and crankset) reaches the optimal value of 1750 grams. The frame kit is priced in Germany, about 7499 Euro. The bike is then assembled with the Shimano Dura Ace, adopted for the commands, sprocket, chain, front and rear derailleur. Handlebar, stem and seatpost are Syntace tailored for Storck, as is the custom saddle Prologo. The wheels are high-profile carbon fiber. Thus assembled the bike reaches a cost of Euro 11,498 and a weight of 5.5 kg. The high prices are justified by the high technical content of the product, the kit is assembled frame of the bike. Excellent build quality and very competitive weight of the bike, though not a record, because now the "dreem-bike" are all under five kg. A bike whit technical, very personal and outstanding performance.
