2008 RANGE TECHNOLOGY
CARBON NANO TECHNOLOGYNano material has the character of nano-scale size and high superficial content. Adding it into the matrix system can enhance the cohesion superficial content between fiber and matrix. Because of this character, the micro crack of inter-layer will decrease and further prevent the extension of crack. It will also extend antifatigue and enhance the anti-im-pact of resin.
BIANCHI ACTIVE TECHNOLOGY (BAT)Usually a Road Racing bike is stiff in all directions. High performance but not comfortable at all!!!Goal of BAT technology: To obtain different stiffness behavior under different loads/forces.
HYPERALLOYThe exclusive Hyperalloy aluminum alloy is derived from 7000 series, but with the addition of special zinc and magne-sium alloys, which makes it possible to obtain tensile strength features that are 50% higher than commercial alu-minum alloys, and consequently affords an unbeatable specific strength ratio. THE ONLY ALUMINUM CAPABLE OF COMPETING WITH CARBON FIBER FRAMES
HYDROFORMINGA special plastic deformation technique for our tubesets, obtained by injecting a fluid at an extremely high pressure (1,200 bar), that frees the shapes of the aluminum and allows for frames with high stiffness values and captivating shapes. In addition it guarantees a greater dimensional check compared with traditional extrusion methods. BETTER DESIGNED AND PROVIDES MUCH MORE STIFFNESS AND PERFORMANCE
STRUCTURAL FOAM INJECTION (Bianchi exclusive patent)The injection of a structural foam into the seat tube at the BB end improves the stress distribution in the more critical area of the frame, doubling the fatigue life of the same frame. DOUBLE FATIGUE RESISTANCE = DOUBLE LIFETIME
