The CHPT3 x Aquila Ka.dre team is a collection of cyclists that aspire to contribute to the evolution of a more modernized culture around the sport of cycling. The team hopes to inspire a new wave of riders, and break the stigma of cycling being rigid and exclusive.
Ka.dre members are currently testing the new Equipe Evo model, which will be available in a limited “R” version. What differentiates it from the current Equipe Evo model is a unique blend of higher tensile torayca carbon from Japan, which results in a lighter more agile frame. Further, a revised head tube, front fork, and rear seat stay design, improve the aerodynamic efficiency of the frame. The crown of the front fork, and rear seat stay junction have been widened by 0.5 cm on either side to allow air to pass through the front fork and exhaust through the rear seat stays.
Instead of trying to manipulate air as it travels, we engineered it to pass through the frame undisrupted making the bike more aerodynamic and more predictable in a multitude of different wind conditions. The slight wedge shape on the frontal area of the head tube acts as a diverter helping to guide air in a more laminar fashion across the horizontal plane of the frame. We developed many of these changes to the model through the use of CFD software.
