SinCE Our VErY BEginning,<br />
WE HAVE BEEN USING CARBON.<br />
Pull out a single hair and split it ten times along its length. This is approximately the size of<br />
carbon fibre, the material that we use to make the dreams of a carbon bicycle come true.<br />
Now tear apart the hair along its length. This is easy. But you would not succeed to tear<br />
apart even a single carbon fibre, as its tensile strength is four times higher than that of the<br />
best steel alloy.<br />

Of course, we do not work with single carbon fibres.<br />
They are bundled, weaved into fabric and impregnated<br />
with epoxy resin.<br />
Only then do you have the material that revolutionised<br />
the art of frame construction with its spectacular<br />
stiffness to weight ratio.<br />
The raw material is one thing. Using it in the best way<br />
possible is another. For a perfect carbon frame, you<br />
need an intelligent carbon fibre layup.
