Maurizio Fondriest; World Champion, Milan-San Remo winner, Fleche-Wallone winner, Giro di Italia stage winner, and founder of Fondriest bicycles, uses his 12 seasons of experience as a pro cyclist to develop and create frames for the highest levels of performance. He is constantly challenging himself to find the perfect balance in a bicycle frame.
The Fondriest TF2 1.0 is the stiffest frame in their line-up. It is so stiff because it is made from 3K Carbon Boomerang Technology 4x4 Twill material. Boomerang Technology is the use of several monocoque elements that have been assembled/bonded together. In this case, each piece of the 7-piece frame has been carved from 3K monocoque carbon. (Monocoque literally means one shell.) The 4X4 Twill refers to the way in which the carbon has been weaved. The weave on the 4x4 Twill is very tight, making it extremely stiff.
The TF 2 uses a Reflex Fork. This is one of the highest performing forks around. The shape provides great torsional stiffness, excellent performance and resilience while sprinting.
The proprietary seatpost is semi integrated and has an aerodynamic profile. An additional benefit we have found with the aero post is that itโ€™s always perfectly aligned. All you have to do is determine the seat height and tighten the integrated seat clamp.
The seat stays feature VAS, or Vibration Absorbing System. VAS uses special curved seat stays that are designed to absorb road vibration nicely and still protect the strength of the frame.
The frame also features monocoque carbon dropouts and a tapered head tube. The cable routing has gone the internal route and the frame is both mechanical and electric groupset compatible.
This is an EXTREMELY stiff bike. We cannot express how stiff it really is until you ride it yourself. It is designed to be a great racing bike that has little to no give, while allowing very little road vibration to be transmitted. If ultimate stiffness is what youโ€™re after, the Fondriest TF2 1.0 is for you.
