Testing Stiffness

To best test for real-world conditions, we conducted both steering and pedaling stiffness with its corresponding fork in place to determine the final frameset transmission stiffness. The stiffer the frame, the greater cornering control, responsiveness to rider input and power transmission, enabling the rider to achieve and maintain higher speeds with less effort.

Testing Standards

• Utilized protocols established by Germany’s TOUR magazine

• Medium framesets

• Frame was locked at the rear dropouts with lateral force applied to the fork TEST

Applied lateral force to the fork and measured the torsional flex of the frameset under load.

Frame And Fork Stiffness Comparison

Interpreting The Results

Langma Advanced SL Disc provides up to...

• 21% greater transmission stiffness over first-generation Langma Advanced SL (rim)

• 13% greater transmission stiffness over Specialized Tarmac SL7 Disc

• 35% greater transmission stiffness over Trek Emonda SLR 9 Disc
