Press release  Fondriest: let's discover the TFZero, rigidity made light
Movement Technology: from concept to development

Recently presented at the Eurobike & the ExpoBici along with all the other  2012 Fondriest bikes, the TFZero represents the perfect synergy between technology & athlete. This model has been forged in Italy with patient & meticulous focus that makes it a one-of-a-kind product. Extremely light (798gr its raw weight in size M) and with 1k finish, the TFZero was tested in our labs following the standard reference guidelines and on the road by Maurizio Fondriest.

 

Its carbon tubes are entirely produced and banded in Italy allowing, besides mechanical advantages, even the possibility to create custom frames, causing these bikes to become unique tailored pieces that adapt to any physical structure and characteristic.

The steering is differentiated at 1-1/8” at the top and at 1-1/2” at the bottom, guaranteeing an elevated rigidity and torsion angle. 

 

The dropouts at the back and at the fork are in monolith with carbon fiber and are interchangeable both on the right and the left side, in a treated aluminum alloy, supporting both the wheel and the shift at the same time.

 

This choice prevents the rapid blockage of the wheel to ever touch the monolith carbon fiber portion of the dropouts. Thanks to a dedicated joint structure profile between the aluminum and carbon parts the interchangeable is secure even in the absence of screws that limit its assembly options.

The integrated cables, along with a sharper and cleaner profile of the frame, enhance its aerodynamics and compactness.

 

The absence of an outer shell for the press-fit joint movement increases the frame's rigidity. Thanks to the possibility of customizing the frame it is also possible to request a different bracket thread such as the English one, the Italian on or the BB30.

 

The upper sheaths are ultra-flat, increasing the overall aerodynamics and reducing the frame's weight, maintaining the same mechanical properties and rigidity.
