The lightweight full carbon frame gives this bike an excellent strength to weight ratio, whilst the carbon fibre bladed fork dramatically reduces the road buzz transferred into your hands & body to deliver a more comfortable ride. The frameset is constructed using a blend of Toray T700 & T800 carbon to ensure optimal stiffness where required without sacrificing any vertical compliance (harshness) associated with many composite framesets in the market. The Sportiva Carbon Discs short wheelbase responds excellent through fast corners & short burst of speed. Being mechanical & electronic compatible, the Sportiva Carbon Disc is a thoroughly modern bike with up-to-the-minute features such as: disc brakes; a tapered head tube, internal cable routing; a 27.2mm seat post for more comfort; & clearance for wider 25mm tyres providing even more comfort. Available in caliper & disc options the Sportiva Carbon & Sportiva Carbon Disc offer the perfect combination of low weight & performance enhancing features all at exceptional value. Flowing around the bends on the circuit & shooting down the descents, the Sportiva felt sure & true. Total Women's Cycling
