The Bike

The ARANTIX is a hardtail mountain bike with a crazy web frame. The frame is made of carbon fiber in an Isotruss structure. Isotruss is a patented structural design developed through BYU. You can look up the details but the coolest thing about it is that you can see through it and would expect it to crumble. However, A primary selling point to the bike is that it is the strongest carbon fiber frame available. It has no rider limit. It is light with frame weight around 2.75 lbs. With full Shimano XTR setup (they also have SRAM set up options), XTR tubeless tires and Fox F series fork it wieghs in at 22 lbs.
