American based Felt Bicycles recently released their new Nine mountain bike frame featuring TeXtreme® Spread Tow carbon fabrics. The new Nine premium frame weighs in at only 900 grams. Established in a number of Sports applications TeXtreme® now makes its way into the bicycle segment broadly, reducing weight and improving mechanical performance.
Jeff Soucek, Director of R&D of Felt Bicycles says: “We were looking for reduced weight on our frames, but still needed the same high properties of stiffness and strength. By using TeXtreme® we succeeded in making a frame that was lighter, as stiff, while actually increasing the impact durability. Because TeXtreme® is so thin we could work with several plies to get the same thickness or less, resulting in significant improvements and a better riding experience.”
