INTRODUCING NEW COUNTERVAIL®
VIBRATION CANCELING TECHNOLOGY
BIANCHI’S INNOVATIVE SOLUTION TO CANCEL VIBRATION
Bianchi collaborated with Materials Sciences Corp. to develop our innovative and exclusive application of the patented Countervail®
integrated vibration canceling system for cycling. The result is the new Bianchi Infinito CV.
*Scientific studies prove that long term exposure to vibration, typically absorbed by the rider, causes muscle fatigue and discomfort,
resulting in reduced performance.
INTEGRATED SYSTEM PROVEN IN NASA AEROSPACE OPERATIONS
Traditional passive damping of the frame using superficial rubber inserts and isolators are only marginally effective compared to the
integrated carbon Countervail® system developed by Bianchi and proven in the extreme conditions of NASA aerospace operations.
With its patented carbon fiber architecture and viscoelastic material, Countervail® carbon material, embedded within our unique
Infinito CV carbon lay-up, immediately cancels vibration while increasing the stiffness and strength of the entire frame.
ADVANTAGES
· Maximized ride control and handling under normal to extreme vibration loads
· Reduced muscle fatigue and increased energy savings in distance rides
· Increased rigidity and peak power output over long distances
*As noted by the Journal of Sciences and Medicine report.
