  • carbon fiber open truss pyramid frame
  • Tiny Carbon Fiber Pyramids Used For Lighter & Stronger Bike Frames
  • IsoTruss carbon fiber and Kevlar open lattice tube design.
  • While it might look unusual, the frame pictured above weighs just 2.75 pounds and is as strong as any other frame on the market.
  • The IsoTruss technology actually uses a series of small pyramid shaped structures that are all connected together to form a tube.
  • The pyramids are made of hand woven strands of carbon fiber that are bundled together and wrapped in Kevlar.
  • All in all, each bike frame includes 1,672 feet of carbon fiber and takes about 300 hours to build.
  • As a result Delta 7 Sports only plans to produce about 200 of these frames in 2008.
  • A complete Arantix mountain bike starts at $11,995, but you can also order just the IsoTruss carbon composite frame for $6,995.
