ACT.01 Neo Frame Technology

One-Piece Carbon. Zero Compromises.

Every ACT.01 Neo frame is molded as a single piece, not bonded from parts. One continuous structure, built for race-day loads.

Construction

One-Piece Molded Monocoque Construction

Most carbon frames on the market are assembled from separately molded sections that are cured on their own and then bonded together after the fact. Those joints concentrate stress and become the frame's weak points, and compensating for them usually means thicker tube walls and added reinforcement, right where you don't want the weight.

The ACT.01 Neo is laid up and co-cured as a single piece inside the mold, rather than cured in separate parts and bonded together afterward. Fiber continuity is preserved along the frame's critical load paths, with no interruption or redirection at a joint, with no strength lost because of it.

Molding

EPS Core Mold Technology

Instead of the traditional soft air bladder used to shape a frame from the inside, the ACT.01 Neo is molded around a rigid EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) core. That firm, flat internal surface gives the carbon fabric something solid to conform to, producing an interior finish smooth enough the industry calls it a “mirror finish.”

No wrinkling, no delamination, no frames scrapped because a bladder punctured mid-cure. As the core expands under heat, it presses the carbon layers evenly from the inside out for consistent thickness throughout.

Material

Genuine Toray Prepreg Carbon

If cutting and layup are the software of frame design, genuine imported Toray prepreg carbon is the hardware it runs on. Toray's T-series (high strength) and M-series (high modulus) fiber lines are backed by decades of data in databases like AGATE and CMH-17, and certified to NADCAP and NCAMP aerospace standards.

At the molecular level, Toray's NANOALLOY™ technology improves the resin's impact toughness, the same material foundation used across many of the world's top competitive cycling programs.

Layup

Zone-Specific, Precision-Cut Layup

Cutting carbon fabric into hundreds of individual pieces isn't complexity for its own sake. High-stress zones such as the bottom bracket and head tube receive additional reinforcement, while lower-load areas remain thinner to avoid unnecessary mass, ensuring material quantity and fiber direction match the local load path.

Because carbon is stiff along its length and softer across it, pieces are combined at 0°, ±45°, and 90° orientations, to stabilize tube shape and transverse loads.
