A carbon tube tech designed from the ground up to better handle the real bending and torsion forces that bike frame tubes actually encounter vs. conventional filament winding, these tubes are remarkably strong and impact resistant, even when made incredibly lightweight.
It’s the same tech we’ve been riding in Festka road and gravel bikes for more than a decade.
I even got a first-hand look into CompoTech’s in-house Czech carbon tube production back in 2017, together with Festka as they were preparing to make tubes for my own custom One Gravel bike – itself the prototype that would become Festka’s Rover .
