A near perfect equation. Maximum performance with a comfortable ride If you are looking to enter the world of road cycling, with a frame that offers you everything you are looking, then the Sphene is the model for you. The Sphene range, inspired by BH’s Global Concept, is perfect for practicing cyclo-tourism or for entering the cycling world. The frame is rigid, light-weight, highly compliant, easy to handle and offers great response on the road. The Sphene, offers a fantastic blend of performance and value all in frame design inspired by the likes of the G6, Quartz and Ultralight.
The lightweight performance you are seeking in a bicycle. Manufactured in 7005 aluminium using hydroformed technology The attractive Sphene frame combines riding comfort in a lightweight complient frame that maintains the maximum quality standards that BH demands of all of its models. The new BH Sphene is manufactured from 7005 aluminium in conjunction with hydroform tube forming technology. This combination allows the design engineers to develop customised tubes for the frame which give the Sphene increased stiffness in critical while eliminating additional material where it is not required. The design of the Sphene frame provides additional rigidity in the bottom bracket while maintaining a high level of comfort and desired flex where needed. All of this results
in a frame with a great capacity for vertical absorption and increased lateral stiffness. The result is a frame with smoothed welds and clean lines from which the cyclist can obtain an exceptional performance and great comfort on the road.
Geometry. Great response The wheel base is slightly increased on the Sphene frame to guarantee the frame’s stability. The headtubes by design are slightly taller to
78
providing better fit and further comfort on the road. As a result, the frame’s geometry offers cyclists a great all arounnd performance.
