Nevertheless, the tensile strength of carbon fiber is four times higher than that of the best steel alloy. The longitudinal stiffness can even be six times that of aluminum. Individual carbon filaments in isolation cannot be processed, that’s why they are bundled by roving. roving is weaved into fabric and impregnated with an epoxy resin. For years, this combination of carbon fiber and resin has been setting the stiffness-weight-ratio benchmark. But to unfold its true potential, it needs to be used as intelligently, and, most importantly, efficiently as possible. our STEVENS developers and engineers have the knowledge and know-how to build perfectly thought-through carbon frames through the use of particularly intelligent carbon fiber layups. For example, they can build rear sections that show high lateral stiffness, but are vertically flexible. This may sound quite technical, but for the rider it simply means: minimal waste of pedaling effort, because your muscle power is directed towards the pavement. At the same time, because of its ability to show some vertical flexibility, the carbon frame is more comfortable. But it‘s not just the alignment of the fabric: the thickness and even the alignment of individual fibers in the fabric itself can be crucial. Certain highly stressed areas of the frame get built noT Your orDinarY replAceMenT progrAM We offer our CrASh rEPLACEMENT program for all STEVENS carbon road and mtb frames built since 2010: in case your frame suffers irreparable damage from a fall or a crash, you can purchase a replacement frame at a special discount of 50%. This renders the purchase of a high-value carbon bike a safe bet–at no additional cost to you. For the terms and conditions refer to your STEVENS retailer or our website www.stevensbikes.com with parallel fiber (ud-fabric). Also, the choice of epoxy resin can be an essential factor for the characteristics of a carbon frame. For the most part even the dropouts on STEVENS frames and forks are made of the “black gold”–highest level engineering and production. We could run on and on about the process – because we have 20 years of experience working with this outstanding material. STEVENS MTB 2011 11
