Carrera Phibra - Carbon Italian Road Bike 2008

The only Carrera Phibra currently in the United States is at Triathlon LAB!!

PHIBRA (design Massimilano della Monaca)

The Carrera Phibra is the result of carbon technology and design studies by the Carrera-Podium R&D department. The result: An absolutely stunning and exotic bike utilizing the innovative technique of “2b” double arc block, laminated, that combines the performances of a monocoque frame (stiffness, lightness, comfort, long life, reliability) with the possibility to customize the frame according to the athlete measures.

○● Technical characteristics

* entirely manufactured in Italy
* carbon-titanium weft in the parts subjected to most stress
* Hand working in order to obtain the best structural resistance
* fibres consolidation in high pressure autoclave to obtain a structure equivalent to the monocoque onekevlar reinforcements where the accessories have to be fixed
* hand assembled with “• laminated carbon” technology up to 32 dimensional checks during the working
* 1” 1/8 integrated headset
* cables passage inside the frame
* weight 1,20 kg / hand painted / monocoque pegaso plus fork

Frameset price: $4999.95

○● 2B-DOUBLE ARC BLOCK This very new producing technology, resulting by the con-stant research activity in materials and technologies developed by carrera-podium r&d department, permits to carry out frames on the athletes size. The “2b - double arc block” is made by two blocks arc-shaping in highest-module (hm), high density (k1), high resistance (hr), with high unidirectional and bidirectional resistance (hr) carbon fibres. The two blocks are produ-ced using a unique carbon weft without interruptions or discontinuity with aesthetical, rigidity and sturdiness results at top levels, till today incomparable.

The upper block is a one piece arc-shaping that starts in connection with the headset tube, incorporates the rear monostay and is integrated by the adapters. This block has a passing hole through which, during the assemblage, will pass the vertical tube that from the seat post goes down without interruption to the bottom bracket. The lower block is a unique piece that incorporates the bottom bracket and the rear triangle.t The special arc-shaping and the construction technology give high stiffness to the frame for which is given great attention to the tubes section that combines the thickness optimization with the sha-pes study; the result is a frame extremely rigid and devoid of torsions, able to directly transmit to the pedals all the athlete power.“2b - double arc block”, a mix of design and technology at highest levels.
