As we are just now on the cusp of the trade show season, where the entire world gets to see the amazing new products that we’ll be drooling over in 2011, LITESPEED has just leaked to me some copy of the brand new LITESPEED C1R. To be honest, I’m left at a complete lack of words, so I’ll just let these two teaser pictures do the talking for me. Go over to our photos page to see all them, now!
Key Points of the C1R
- Our flagship carbon model, highest quality Ultra Modulus carbon nanotube construction using AeroLogic features
- New carbon layup, RPM (Reactive Pressure Molding technology). Lighter and stiffer.
- Unidirectional (UD) carbon fibers (not woven). Compared to interlocking woven fiber, UD is lighter
- Actual carbon fibers – M60
- Size-variable tubing construction: All tubing proportions, cross sections, carbon lay-up and profiles are adjusted to ensure optimized ride quality and performance throughout the full range of sizes
- Result is minimal weight with maximum stiffness
- BB 30 technology
- Tapered steer tube technology
- Significant weight reduction from 2010 model C1 (approximately 150 grams) thanks to RPM technology and matte finish
- New XL size available in fall
