| Features | Core Removal Technology: The Ultralight frame is the successful technical result of years of study and research by the R&D department of BH Bikes. Innovative manufacturing processes and state-of-the-art technology in carbon moulding have been combined in their manufacture. The one-piece frame, manufactured entirely in High Module carbon, has been built using core removal technology, which consists in using a high-pressure system that avoids creating any bubbles or imperfections within the carbon. This exclusive system brings out the best quality of the compact material and eliminates inconsistent pressure within the mould. This innovative technology allows controlling and optimising the ideal thickness of the different parts of the frame during its construction, choosing the most suitable carbon fibres for its development and keeping their superimposition to a minimum to ensure extreme rigidity and lightness. BB386EVO bottom bracket: Another great technological advance in the Ultralight frames is the BB386 EVO crankset, an innovation developed by BH in collaboration with FSA that is expected to become a standard in top of the range frames. This innovative design allows over-sizing the outer width of the bottom bracket up to 86.5 mm in the base and therefore increase its surface, rigidity and resistance. This new design has enabled BH to increase the size of the down tubes up to a diameter of 80 mm, thus reducing the thickness of the walls and increasing the torsion stiffness in 166% and the rear stiffness in 125%. The chainring-rod group has been exclusively designed for Ultralight frames. 1.5” Integrated carbon conical headset: Ultralight bicycles also include an important technological innovation in the integrated conical headset. The head tube is manufactured entirely in carbon, which notably increases the side rigidity and torsion stiffness and also avoids any bearing play developing in the head tube. Cable guides within the frame: The cable guide, made in one-piece carbon and located on the lower area of the top tube, also contributes to the lightness of the Ultralight bicycles and considerably simplifies its maintenance. The original cable guiding system permits the integration of mechanical or electronic systems, guaranteeing maximum protection. This system also includes covers that, when changed, allow switching from an electronic to a mechanical system. Semi-sloping geometry: The Ultralight offers an experience on the road that fuses the bicycle with the cyclist, becoming an unstoppable machine. The slightly lifted head tube, the rear triangle's geometry with 402 mm chainstays and the slight modification of the seat's angle place the centre of gravity of Ultralight bicycles in a lower position than usual. This design allows for an immediate acceleration, as the cyclist feels fully connected to the bicycle. In short, the Ultralight is an ultra-compact bicycle that in extreme situations, such as sudden accelerations when climbing or sprinting, pushes you further. |
