BICYLE ROAD > GUERCIOTTI 2012: Guerciotti Eclipse

Delivery Time: 4 to 6 week to the order

Eclipse represents the first product issued from the new NO LIMIT CARBON ENGINEERING project.
The weight and incredible stiffness of Eclipse has been made possible thanks to fundamental
stratagems in the customizing technique of tubes and design.
The first prototypes of Eclipse had a weight of approximately 820 grams (painted frame). Studies and
assessments carried out by using the CLS Carbon Design and the RAW MATERIAL QUALITY TESTING
had persuaded us to choose different sections for some tubes and different carbon fibers in the more
crucial zones which surely increased the weight but offered greater reliability. It is precisely the lightness
/ reliability and resistance problem, which today represents one of the limits of the top of the range
frames, that the NO LIMIT CARBON ENGINEERING project is trying to overcome: increasingly lighter
frames but with very high reliability and safety. The Carbon fiber used for Eclipse is Toray. The external
fabric is 3K plain M49 produced by HEXCEL, the unidirectional inside is M46J produced by Advanced.
This product comes from England and it represents the fiber which confers the greater part of the
stiffness and solidity characteristics to the bottom bracket area.
The oblique tube is a combination of HR40 and M64 materials which confer a great torsion stiffness to
the tube and a high resustance to impacts.
The HM46J fiber and of the UD fiber is used in the oblique tube to confer more resistance to torsion. In
fact, based on the results of tests carried out in laboratories and in the field during racing events, when
it is properly made, the oblique tube prevents the bothersome vibration effect at high speeds. The use
of materials such as the M46J and the HM64 in the construction of the Eclipse allow to obtain very
satisfactory results, the most important of which are the resistance to traction (210 kg/sqmm) and
the resistance to compression (72,5 kg/sqmm). The use of these fibres to manufacture these tubes
enables mechanical resistance to traction values which can be compared to those of a steel tube.
By using them, besides having a considerable stiffness, the frame also becomes more resistant to
impacts and to heavy stress. All this is obtained by pressure, during firing, at approximately 6 bar, with a
consequent extraction of excess resin such as to increase the percentage of fiber in the compound.

Frame made with the wrapping technology, where, thanks to the NO LIMIT CARBON ENGINEERING
project, we have obtained an extremely light and stiff frame.
