Carbent Raven SportPrice: $4,695.00
These beautiful bikes are light-weight, fast and built with the highest quality materials and components!
So...why 700c wheels on the Raven? Their larger size provides lower rolling resistance and better shock absorption. Also, given the same hip angle as the classic Sea Dragon, the seat is more reclined and the bottom bracket is higher for better aerodynamics. Combined, these two variables add up to a faster, more comfortable ride!
Roll wrap tubes are used as standard, and have a glossy black finish and look like the Stealth Bomber! Our tubes are custom wrapped to our exact Carbent HPV specifications and have a weight limit of 250 pounds.
Filament wound carbon fiber tubes are available as an option, yield an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, and show that beautiful woven carbon fiber finish. These tubes are also custom-wound to our specifications; the fibers have a breaking strength of 800,000 psi (as a comparison, titanium 3/2.5 is 89,900 psi and Aluminum 7005 is 50,800 psi). The weight limit is 230 pounds.
Combine a beautifully hand-built frame with quality components, including Velocity Uriel wheels, FSA Gossamer cranks, and an Ultegra drivetrain, and you get a bike that is truly irresistable. And at less than 19 pounds, you won't be carrying any extra weight up the next hill. The seat is fixed at 26-28 degrees (depending on size). No, it isn't adjustable. But it means that every watt of power goes directly from your pedals to the rear wheel. This bike will truly amaze you and your riding buddies!
