The Stealth revolutionizes Bike designs flat tubes. An innovative idea of \u200b\u200bbike that has for the first time at the Eurobike trade show, inspired by the F-117 Stealth Fighter.

This bike carbon fiber, called "Stealth", innovative uses air chamber molds to achieve its characteristic faceted appearance. It is no coincidence that the matte black paint and rough and angular lines of this bike flat tubes remember the F-117 Stealth Fighter.
The bike has been designed by the project team advanced Cannondale, a multinational team formed by innovative designers and engineers, who took his inspiration from many different sources.
"We were inspired by the Stealth Fighter jets, which have a very characteristic way to be invisible to radar," says Torgny Fjeldskaar, director of industrial design at Cannondale. "Other sources of inspiration were the Lamborghini Reventon sports last year and KTM bikes."
futuristic, angular design is not the only thing that stands out in the Stealth. Airfoil fork single-arm, made entirely of carbon, intended to set a new standard in design and aesthetics road bikes. Combined with a power line that flows unbroken lines from the horizontal tube to the handlebar.
Like every Cannondale bicycle prototypes, the Stealth embodies the efforts of both design and production company. Therefore, it is a fully functional prototype.
"carbon structure is more complicated than we have ever produced in Bedford," said Jeremy Mikesell, the engineer responsible for the production of the picture. "What has allowed us to increase our knowledge in the manufacture of carbon."
one fork arm, also made of carbon fiber, has made a valuable contribution to knowledge production Cannondale.
"We learned that if you want to put disc brakes on a road bike, a fork arm has some big advantages over conventional two arms from a structural standpoint," says Steve Extance engineer Cannondale forks and HeadShok. Cannondale
is headquartered in Bethel, Connectitut, and designs, develops and produces bicycles at its factory in Bedford, Pennsylvania. The company has subsidiaries in Holland, Switzerland, Japan and Australia, and is owned by Dorel Industries Ltd.
