Technique
The geometry of the frame, the orientation of the fibres and the layering of the members are designed to guarantee an immediate response and to achieve excellent levels of torsional stiffness and lightness. The internal connectors, made of special aluminium alloys for aeronautical applications, make the structural nodes safe and stable for safe and full control over dirt tracks, rough roads and mixed terrain
Quality & Craftmanship
Attention to detail embraces the entire Ornus project. All the special gluing stages, the execution of the harmonious lines, the assembly, are accompanied by the craftsman’s talent. The natural uniqueness of the wood, combined with artisanal details, makes each bicycle a truly unique and original work of art. The bicycle is built with first-rate materials that follow precise preparation and assembly protocols.. In particular, the wood is subjected to strict quality controls that monitor physical and mechanical characteristics. Combined with proprietary patented technology and aeronautically derived construction techniques, the Ornus frame fully complies with the highest standards of strength, durability and structural redundancy. The EN ISO 4210 certificate of conformity, issued by an independent third party, is a further guarantee.
Comfort
Wood offers a natural ability to absorb vibrations, having a high internal damping factor. The frame architecture is designed to enhance these characteristics, taking riding pleasure to the highest level even on long rides, especially on bumpy or uneven trails.
