The design brief demanded a road frame with improved aerodynamics compared with traditional round-section tubes, high overall torsional stiffness while retaining vertical compliance and, lastly, light weight. Handling was a major focus for us and is evidenced in the differing fork offsets in the size curve coupled with attention to the BB height relative to front end geometry. Innovative tubing profiles deliver on the design brief, provide eye- catching aesthetics and elicited a design award at Eurobike for the 2013 season. Recently the Scalera gained UCI Approval for the frame and fork, officially fitting the Scalera for professional UCI sanctioned racing. Deon Retief, Raoul de Villiers, Dayle Holmes Silverback Bikes
