Thus the Current model was born. Though it shares many common denominators with other tadpole trikes, the differencies vs. the Carbonal are quite substantial. For one, it departs from the "logickal" idea(l) of all- composite chassis; indeed, from all- homogenously composite one. Mid chassis is now made of affordable GRP (glassfibre- reinforced plastics) material, and the carbon fibre is present only in those areas where its structural strengths are warranted. | More specifically, observe the flat, one- part moulded, trapezoidally-shaped "rear stays" part, which is unlike anything else found on trikes (compare it with structural overkill of the Carbonal). It is also the largest CF element, and one of five deployed. |
