The Raven Team carbon frame with the SSPS system: Stable Stiffness Per Size. Put plainly the larger the frame the more material is required to retain strength, stiffness and durability. This means the STW(Strength To Weight) ratio is similar for all frame sizes. This is because a tall and usually more powerful rider needs more stiffness than a shorter and normally more lightweight rider. This system avoids having wasted material and increased weight on a small frame unnecessarily, and too little material on a larger frame.
The Geometry is based on Focus team rider's experience and input, it's pure racing attitude.
The Raven Team carbon is a monocoque design, the aim was to keep a very clear, pure and classical look.
For 2007 geometry was adapted to enhance the feel of suspension forks and the headtube to downtube zone got reinforced for better steering stiffness.
The frame is made of a mix of different fibers - to keep a balance between ultra lightweight, stiffness and safety (very high modulus fibers are more critical for crash / impact loadings).
The design is unique to FOCUS
Its this kind of attention to fine detail that separates the Raven Team from the competition.
