The TOTAL ECLIPSE FRAME is currently available in two different
frame geometries. The 700C frame offers traditional
road racing geometry, while the 650C bike is specifically
geared towards time trialing and triathlons. Available
frame sizes are 55.5 and 58.5 cm (22”/23”)
while the seat angles range from 73° to 76,5°.

The suspension of our Total Eclipse frame has a spring rate of 120 N/mm. That means that the beam will deflect 1 mm under a 12 kg load (26.4 lbs). This is a rather stiff setup. Ordinary systems like the SOFTRIDE beam are much softer. Our suspension takes the edge off bumps while still offering the ride you are used to from top race bikes. (Note: SOFTRIDE spring rates vary depending on saddle position; average values shown above. TITANFLEX offers different spring rates; medium spring rate shown.)
The Total Eclipse is the world's lightest beam suspension bike. |

| The suspension is designed
to be stiff, allowing the seat to drop 1mm per
9 kg (20 lbs) of load. This equals a 5 mm deflection
for a 75 kg (165 lbs) rider. |
To improve aerodynamics
and steering geometry, or top tubes rise slightly. Thus a shorter
seat post can be used, saving further weight.
As the 650C frame is mainly intended for time trial events the steerer is lowered
further to ensure the lowest possible aerodynamic drag. |
