Gray Storm TT and Triathlon Frameset
Gray Storm TT concept was to create the lightest, stiffest time trail and Triathlon frame on the market. Gray engineers are former employees of the factory in Taiwan and have specialized knowledge and experience from other brands successes and experiences. This Know-How along with the development of High Modulus Carbon in 12K weave, allowed us to create Gray Storm TT and Triathlon Frameset.
The main characteristic of the 1220 gram frame is using the high modulus carbon composite 12K weaves that are ultra strong and allows Gray to thin out the tube walls, where geometrically safe, while adding more material where it is needed to make the frame stiff and solid. The design is optimized for the best weight to stiffness ration.
The geometry of the frame is forward aggressive with tubes that are designed to optimize the highest stiffness to aero-ratio. Tubes are aerodynamically shaped, but not to the extent of losing integrity. This ratio is based on the fact that stiffness and energy transfer is of greater effect on speed than slight aerodynamic compromises. All extreme aero frames lose stiffness due to lack of geometric integrity. Gray Storm TT and Triathlon frame utilizes a very short head tube, which allows for compact, stiff and light frame geometry. This translates into very quick acceleration and a very responsive frame. The shape of the rear fairing increases aerodynamics as does the down tube. The chain stays makes for a very comfortable ride, yet the shape of all the tubes themselves, makes them very strong. The oversized bottom bracket insures that all the energy from the cranks is transferred directly into acceleration. Power is optimized. Gray Storm TT fork is a full carbon, aerodynamic design with enhanced strength. Seat Post Full High Modulus Carbon 12K
