With
more than 20 years' experience of designing and building
using titanium, we decided to harness all our know-how in
the development of this armbike to attain our goal of
creating an ultra-fast, super-light model. And we succeeded.
We focused our attention first on the issue of aerodynamics.
A low wind resistance is not created in the bike itself, but
mainly by the rider adopting an optimal position. We then
took on the challenge of creating as rigid a front fork as
possible that would not result in any energy or power loss.
When we combined these two objectives, we naturally realised
that the TiArrow armbike had to be 100% custom built. Each
bike must have optimal aerodynamics, giving the rider the
best possible working position and thereby the ability to
generate maximum power and gearing.
The driving characteristics of an armbike are also extremely
important, and thanks to TiArrow's unique rigidity,
stability is achieved even at really high speeds. The bike's
very low centre of gravity makes it possible to take corners
at very high speeds without running the risk of overturning.
In addition, a titanium armbike also gives you a more
comfortable ride than you would get from a bike made from
any other material. The titanium frame eliminates vibrations
better than all other metals.
In order to achieve the necessary rigidity, we produced no
fewer than three aerospace grade titanium frames in one. We
use 6Al-4V titanium and 3Al-2.5V titanium for a seamless
build.
The extra long steering head, combined with dual carrier
arms at both ends, guarantees that all power is converted
into high speeds.
Our unique backrest provides a comfortable ride and gives
you maximum support for powerful strokes. TiArrow is very
flexible in terms of seat angle adjustment and your seat
position can be moved forwards and backwards. It is
important to be able to find the optimal seat position for
various situations. The footrest is also adjustable to
several settings.
