Design and Features
- Carbon Engineering: High Modulus carbon fibers are used to withstand high forces with minimal deflection, enhancing areas like the bottom bracket and head tube for superior stiffness.
- Minimized Hardware Weight: The Scale's hardware weight is reduced by nearly half (from 82g to 45g), achieved by reducing metal inserts, including those for the chain guide and bottle cage, as well as optimized cable routing.
- Syncros Fraser iC Combo: Features sleek cable integration, with cables routed under the bar and around the stem, entering the headset. Integrated plastic parts prevent kinks and maintain a clean front end. Multiple mounting options for computers, lights, and cameras are also available above or below the bar.
