X1-FULL Kit

Characteristics

The X1-FULL panel is made from the technique of joining three different monocoque modules glued for their final finish. This system is advantageous because it offers the possibility of making pictures with small size increments, starting from 45cm and up to 59.5cm. distributed in 9 sizes.

This is possible thanks to the fact that the size increase is always carried out in the main triangle, where from the production point of view, it is easier to make 9 main triangles, than 9 complete frame molds.

Going into detail, the three monocoque modules are the main triangle, the oblique "wishbone" type straps and the horizontal pods.

The main triangle is made the same as its older brother X1-TI, with the exception of the titanium grafts, which have been replaced at key stress points by unidirectional carbon sheets and Kevlar sheets.

Both the main triangle, as well as the seatstays and chainstays are made with the stratification system in the stress points such as the bottom bracket shell, the seat tube knot and the head tube knot. After the preparation of these three molds with the stratified carbon fibers, they are subjected to a heat treatment inside the autoclave at a pressure of minus 6 bars of vacuum and at a temperature of 140 ° C.

This process guarantees the perfect compaction of the internal sheets of the three components of the frame. After 6 hours of autoclaving, the components are extracted from the molds, sanded from excess resin and assembled to the frame by means of special glues mixed with carbon fibers, again they are subjected to 6 hours of autoclaving at a temperature of 140º C, where the tails solidify constituting a single body with the frame that gives them the characteristic of a monocoque with the highest performance.

The end result is the birth of a very special painting, based on the wisdom of the choice of materials, the type of fabrics and the correct placement of various pieces at the key points inside the painting.

Paintings that at first glance appear the same as ours may have some differences that only an attentive and expert eye can identify, and sometimes neither can this due to the fact that the differences are found in the internal structure of the painting. Materials can be noticeably different from ours, without realizing it. These differences can make a mockery of those manufacturers who say that their frames are monocoque when they really know they are not, and they also use cheaper materials that can seriously reduce the mechanical properties of the frame and have terrible consequences imaginable.
