CARBON COMPETITION<br />
Same frame mold, same winning geometry as the Xenith SL, but with our DYAD layup using two<br />
different carbon fiber types for optimal stiffness and resilience without the astronomical cost of the<br />
Xenith SL’s ultra high-modulus fibers.<br />
Smart engineering features, like the asymmetric chainstays that beef up the drive side, and SST tubing<br />
diameters, let us put the emphasis on performance and give you a competitive advantage that’ll leave the<br />
competition gasping when you drop the hammer.<br />
The Xenith Race parts kit provides the race-proven drivetrain reliability of Dura-Ace and Ultegra with the gramsaving<br />
speed of FSA’s SLK Lite carbon crank and Shimano’s RS10 wheelset for a truly pro-level build.<br />
Or go with a competition level blend of smart picks like the Xenith Comp’s 20-speed Shimano drivetrain and<br />
matching 20- and 24-spoke wheels, with the added climbing power of FSA’s compact crankset with 34-tooth inner<br />
chainring that provides triple-ring gearing with less heft than a traditional double-ring driveline.<br />
Improvements and enhancements for the ’08 Xenith platform include a revised manufacturing<br />
process that yields superior compaction with less excess resin (stronger, lighter). Part of this<br />
process included installing a two-piece BB shell after the frame was cured. This allowed our<br />
mandrils and bladders to fully compact every radius of this critical area for the highest strength<br />
and the lightest weight. This also allowed us to increase the size of the BB area, enhancing<br />
stiffness for improved power transfer while actually decreasing weight.<br />

For <strong>2008</strong>, we also increased the diameter of the seat tube not only making our frame lighter but more efficient as well. Smaller diameter seat<br />
tubes and seat posts can sap power by flexing under load. Our new, larger seat mast allows riders to produce more power by providing a<br />
stiffer pedaling platform. This power benefit is similar to that achieved by today’s trendy integrated seatposts and frames, without the lack of<br />
portability or adjustability that plagues that design.<br />
For the fast women there’s the Xenith Comp Femme, a serious bike that takes a woman’s anatomy into account without<br />
compromising any of the performance features that matter. Because speed, like all good things, should be enjoyed equally.<br />
