Perses

The Perses is the top frame in our 2009 range. The most eye catching property of this frame is the exceptionally low weight of 840 g. The Perses frameset also includes the superlight Muon fork (336 g). Despite the low weight, the Perses offers a very good torsional stiffness.
We used 3K carbon for the Perses frames to obtain a maximum weight advantage. The top tube of the frame bends elegantly towards the wide monostay seatstay. Both the seatstay and chainstay are S-shaped. The high bracket guarantees minimal loss of energy on this critical point.
Perses frames are sold including
- ProRace MUON full carbon fork (336 g) + expander 1 1/8"
- Canecreek aheadset
- Front gear clamp 34.9 mm
