BUILT TO RESIST THE EXTREME FORCES OF THE MOST POWERFUL RIDERS

The aluminum T1 is quickly changing perceptions of what a world class track frame should be. While over 500 grams lighter than most well-known carbon track frames, its torsional and BB stiffness are matched by no other. “I expected it to be stiff, but this took stiffness to a new meaning and I could feel the aerodynamic difference to other bikes I have ridden”, according to Magnus Backstedt, a 12 year veteran of the ProTour.

The T1 is part of the T-series, offering track models for sprint and endurance events.

Experience:

  • Aerodynamic design to reduce resistance and increase speed.
  • TT design experience spilling over to track, pairing track-level stiffness with very low weights.
  • T1-geometry for sprint events and T3 geometry for endurance events (though it has won big sprint events too!)

GEOMETRY

FIND THE RIGHT SIZE

The T1’s classic track geometry is optimized to meet the needs of both the mass-start as well as the timed event racer.

The 35 mm rake, DB Carbon Aero fork coordinates with the T1’s frame geometry to offer the immediate lateral reaction needed for negotiating around other riders while at the same time delivering the utmost in stability when jamming at maximum output.
