XINOS X1 ELITE

Providing almost twice the stiffness as our HM carbon, UHM fiber is added in key areas that are subject to higher loads. This means stiffer frame with less material.

Because of their concave shape, the Intra-Nervs allow the absorption of the frame vibrations in order to provide the rider an increased comfort level over long distances.

By joining the members of the rear end of the frame together we can provide good torsion resistance to ease the power transfer and offer a smooth ride by making the whole rear triangle channel the vibrations.

Monocoque construction increases lateral rigidity and improves steering control and comfort.

Our Exo-Nerv patented technology (patent D541, 705) of which benefit SONIX & XINOS series, consists of the addition of convex ribs on tubes junction areas of the frame to reinforce it without adding unnecessary weight elsewhere. Exo-Nerv balances forces working on the structure to obtain better stiffness and therefore, a more efficient transmission of your power at start.

Still one of the best methods of engineering a frame: front triangle, chain stays and seat stays are all molded as an independent monocoque section, and are then bonded together to create a complete structure, minimizing junction points and material for the perfect balance between strength, weight and comfort.

Garneau is aware that a rigorously controlled handcraft carbon fiber lamination process is needed to successfully reach the perfect balance between lightweight, stiffness and structure integrity. All carbon frames are carefully made by hand, with every fabrication process controlled, and then tested.
