CARBON RACE<br />

The Xenith’s debut set the standard for race-ready road bikes and this year we turned up<br />

the wick like a blast furnace—this thing is HOT!<br />

We re-engineered the SL and Team carbon monocoque frames with higher modulus fiber and<br />

new manufacturing methods making them even lighter than last year. Fully finished SL frames in<br />

some sizes weigh in as light as 850 grams. And we’ve stiffened the critical bottom bracket/chainstay<br />

area for serious kick when you surge on the pedals.<br />

The new-for-’08 Xenith SL spares nothing, with the best selection of race-level parts we could find.<br />

We dropped every gram possible, thanks to tricks like carbon dropouts and finishing the frame and fork<br />

with only a thin, ultralight protective clearcoat.<br />

With Pro-circuit race-tested geometry, the Xenith’s handling is uncanny, letting you scorch corners in<br />

criteriums or make up time on twisty descents. You’ll have near-perfect weight distribution for cornering with<br />

a slick aero posture that puts you in a power position over the pedals for solo attacks or fast training rides.<br />

What better component group to specify for the lightest, highest performing frames<br />

on the planet than the lightest group on the planet. Hot on the heels of their Force<br />

and Rival introduction last year, SRAM is setting the road world on fire this year with<br />

their new RED group. Utilizing carbon fiber, titanium, and magnesium, SRAM shaved<br />

every possible gram to introduce the first sub-2000g group ever.<br />

Our lightest, highest performing SL and Team frames are constructed with ultra-high modulus carbon fiber precisely applied<br />

in a specifically engineered lay-up we call OMNIAD. Especially unique to this process is the outer layer. The outer layer on most<br />

frames is made with a woven fiber intended for cosmetics only and is therefore generally constructed of lower modulus fiber.<br />

The tightly woven 1K cloth we use however is made with high modulus fiber thereby contributing to the strength of the frame,<br />

allowing us to drive as much weight out of the frame as possible.<br />
