Custom for Condor
Our carbon tubes are made for us using three different types of carbon manufactured in Japan and the USA. Each layer features unidirectional carbon fibre (for strength), high modulus carbon fibre (to add stiffness), and ultra-high-modulus carbon, which adds both strength and stiffness, whilst being lighter than the previous two (but would be too harsh to ride if used just on its own). The tube is wrapped in a 1k weave for impact protection and toughness.
Nano carbon technology
The fibres in our carbon are bound together with resins featuring nano particles. Construction using nano particles requires less resin, resulting in an overall frame weight reduction. Nano resin's microscopic particles are elongated rather than round, which improves the bond between resin and fibre as the surface area is greater. Secondly, frame vibration is dissipated as it travels through the frame and across the nano particles.
BSA bottom bracket
Condor frames feature a BSA bottom bracket shell. It's an overlooked part of the frame, but a very important one. The lowly bottom bracket doesn’t get much attention, and if it's working properly, that's the way it should be — smooth and silent. Press-fit bottom bracket shells were introduced a few years ago, and today there are numerous different press-fit bottom bracket standards, such as BB30, BB90, BBRight, and PF30. These systems were never adopted by Shimano or Campagnolo, and therefore adapters are required in order to fit them. This can lead to issues with creaking and a require
Tapered head tube
The tapered head tube significantly improves front end stiffness and creates a stable base for quick handling.
