We are the first company to produce a 29” monocoque frame in Italy. With all respect to the typical Italian tube to tube construction, the monocoque system offers a notable weight riduction, a more constant production quality and an improved load distribution along the tubes. Production times are greatly reduced resulting in quicker delivery times
The FRM forks are supplied with 1,5” Taper steerer tube only. The steerer tube base has a diameter of 40mm which joins to a diameter of 28,6mm in the upper part of the tube. The tube is lathe worked from a bar of Scandium aluminium alloy
Thru-axle type quick release are increasingly used in MTB, particularly for 29er use as larger wheels create a much higher torque on forks and frames. The thru-axle quick release, with 9mm front and 10mm rear aluminium axles are used with slotted type forks and frames. A reduction in flexibility of around 20-25% can be calculated with respect to traditional quick releases
Post-Mount type brake caliper assembly has already taken the place of the older International Standard on forks whilst on frames this change-over is taking place now. The FRM Anakin, Galaxy, Be Active29 and 8HP Full use the Post-Mount standard for 160mm discs. The brake caliper is fixed directly to the frame without the use of an adaptor
