Tephra CTi

The rumours are true. We have gone to The Dark Side.
Introducing the new Tephra CTi. You guessed it ? our first carbon composite construction, featuring a unique Titanium lower portion and hand laid carbon fiber top section.
Why this evil mating of materials? Well, the concept is simple. We love the ride of Ti, so we put it where it is responsible for that wonderful zippy spring quality it has. We love the damping qualities of carbon, so we put it where it can do it?s job the best.
What you end up with is a bike that defies description ? one that feels alive under your feet, but with a smoothness that literally has to be felt to be believed. To top it off, with the heavier material at the bottom, the Tephra CTi exhibits a lower centre-of-gravity, improving handling and road-feel, especially out of the saddle.
