New Carbon Frame Reinforcement combines Carbon Deck Technology's lightweight yet super-smooth platform built with unidirectional carbon bands, with C-Ply Carbon and QuadRod reinforcement for elevated power and response. Additional vibration damping is enhanced by environmentally friendly Flax Fiber placed in a new lightweight 3D trapezoid shape which provides our smoothest ride yet.
