Cippo Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Helmet technology https://reviews.mtbr.com/trek-and-bontrager-wavecel-helmet-technology-unveiledWas really hoping it was going to be a new frame material.
gummibear Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Was really hoping it was going to be a new frame material. Same here.Was really liking this weave.

DieselnDust Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 interesting. I wonder if the ventilation is negatively affected or does the shaping of the wave structure channel airflow a little better? Intake area is decidedly reduced
Goodbadugly Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Well thats an anti climax.The biggest anti climax will be to get the mud out of those cells after a wet mtb race
stefmeister Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Was really hoping it was going to be a new frame material.You didn’t really expect a bicycle company to introduce a new ultra uber high tech composite material or manufacturing technique to replace carbon fibre before the aviation industry, F1 and the rest of the motor industry? The bicycle industry is years behind. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
intern Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Dyneema is also used in winch ropes instead of steel cable. It's just as strong but is waaaaay lighter and safer to use... but also a lot more expensive.I have a dyneema line on my winch. It's yellow (the line, not the winch).
intern Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 PS the weave on that bike reminds me of the first carbon frames, like say the Cadex or those TVTs that a few okes had in the mid-late 1990s. Not in a good way, either.
DieselnDust Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 All the hoo haa in their promo vid about the obsolete EPS shell....yet it’s still there. So this is basically their answer to MIPS
Mamil Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 Gotta wonder which committee of marketing geniuses came up with the idea to over promise and under deliver
DieselnDust Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 I would have considered it revolutionary if the EPS was replaced entirely with the new material. That would have floated my boat in the must have right now category. On the other hand , j won’t have a problem with bee stings on the head in summer anylonger!!!
Dieter ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 You can buy a pair of Levis with Dyneema...Maybe Bontrager will bring out denim XC bibs and treat cycling world to another revolutionary new material?
