The result: the strongest, lightest frame possible. The SLICK frame is made with three different carbon types, each selected for various performance characteristics. Standard Modulus, Medium Modulus and High Modulus Pitch Fibre. While the first two are common to the cycling industry the last – the Pitch Fibre – is far rarer because it’s difficult to work with and comes with a very high cost. It is, however, the lightest and stiffest carbon available for bike frames.
