A
Benefit: Minimal frame weight for lightning-fast acceleration and ascending prowess.
The Inside Line: To minimize weight, Giant engineers use Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and a complex lay-up schedule of Uni-Directional (UD) and composite weave to place the precise amount of composite material where you need it, and minimize material excess where you don’t.

B
Benefit: A careful balance of forgiving vertical compliance and efficient lateral stiffness is carefully engineered into every frame.
The Inside Line: Layering makes the difference. Giant’s hand-cut composite swatches are laid-up piece-by-piece to create each frame. By precisely layering each individual swatch (there are over 500 pieces per frame) in a precise schedule, the frame’s ride qualities are meticulously crafted.

C
Benefit: Fewer pieces mean less chance of failure down the road. The Inside Line: With formulaOne Technology, less is more. Giant uses aluminum sleeves only in the bottom bracket and headtube cups where metal-to-metal mechanical connections are necessary. This reduces weight and the possibility of corrosion considerably over other composite frames that rely on heavy alloy reinforcements.

D
Benefit: Lugless composite construction yields a straighter and stronger frame for improved tracking and long-term piece of mind.
The Inside Line: formulaOne Composite Technology doesn’t rely on lugs to join its tubes, so your frame is lighter, stronger and straighter than “assembled” bicycles. Instead, Giant uses a single air bladder to form a one-piece front triangle that all but eliminates the opportunity for “voids” and misalignment to exist.

E
Benefit: A composite-wrapped bottom bracket ensures critical strength.
The Inside Line: The BB connection is a high-stress area where most stress failures occur in glued, lugged composite frames. Chainstays are joined to the BB through a process called “wrapping,” not lugs. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) computer analysis ensures rigidity, a complex Uni-Directional (UD) and woven composite lay-up schedule ensures frame compliance.

peut être la marque de VTT qui remplacera un jour le LP, j'adore le fonctionnement

il y a combien entre le pneu arrière et le cadre ???? p...in c'est un véritable bout de bois Suspect

C'est surtout la position de ce type de vélo qui m'étonne, il doit falloir de bons muscles lombaires pour supporter ! Mais ça doit permettre de bien pulser !
Ca doit être marrant à tester sur 4-5 Km pour voir.
