Delta 7 Arantix is the first frame featuring patented IsoTruss carbon fiber and Kevlar spider web-like open lattice tube design. Delta 7 Arantix is an extreme hardtail mountain bike with an unparalleled strength-weight ratio providing an ultra stiff and responsive bike. The Delta 7 Sports Arantix Mountain Bike features an IsoTruss carbon fiber frame. What the hell is that you ask? Well it's a frame made of hand-woven carbon fiber strands that are then wrapped in Kevlar and baked. Each Delta 7 Arantix frame has over 1,672 feet of carbon fiber (thats over a quarter mile of material) and takes over 300 hours to build. The resulting pyramidal structure of the frame makes it not only rugged but light -a measly 2.75 pounds. Which is pretty light. The Delta 7 Arantix is truly revolutionary and could possibly change the way people ride bikes
IsoTruss open lattice structures are made up of three-dimensional (3-D) pyramid-shaped trusses formed by combining two-dimensional (2-D) trusses, such as the kind commonly used in architectural design. The pyramid-like structure of an IsoTruss lattice utilizes the well-known geometry of a triangle with two equal sides (an Isosceles Triangle) to create a form with a superior weight-to-strength ratio. Hence, the name IsoTruss comes from the "iso" in isosceles, while "truss" comes from the architectural design known as trusses. FEATURES:
