Wilier Triestina
uses the latest generation of the monocoque system for all
of their carbon frames. This technology, taken to the limit
after years of research, allows for a lighter and better
performing product with superior esthetic qualities and
absolute reliability.
The lightness of
the monocoque comes from the absence of overlapping tubes
and lugs or joints. The quantity of materials used in the
construction of the frame is therefore reduced considerably.
The elimination
of potential critical points in the structure enhances the
compactness and the capacity to respond to the strains of
the terrain. The power from the athlete distributes itself
more uniformly in the frame, making it more reactive, and in
effect keeping to a minimum the waste of muscular energy. It
also serves to increase the maneuverability of the bike in
the choice of trajectory. To pedal a monocoque is to have
total control even on the most difficult terrain.
One of the
points of excellence of the Wilier Triestina monocoque
system is the reliability. Stresses to the frame are not
concentrated in any vulnerable area, which counteracts the
stiffness of the frame. This benefits the safety of the
cyclist.
Another
indisputable advantage of the monocoque system is the
esthetic: the frame is molded to have lines that are
harmonious, smooth, and flowing. The results in the design
of the bicycle and the finishing details are unparalleled. |
