Sarto, an Italian company specializing in the handcrafted, custom-made carbon fiber frames, presents a new model: Raso. It is an all-road model, which combines several features: aerodynamics, speed and ease of driving. Sarto was born in Veneto, a place where you can enjoy cycling on all terrains, from the road to those dedicated to real cycle tourism.
Years of development
The Italian brand, founded in 1959, has combined years of development and research in this frame. Raso is not just an all-road model, but a real guarantee of comfort and performanceThe Sarto-forged frame balances power and comfort. It's crafted from exceptionally strong unidirectional carbon fiber. The transitions between sections emphasize the frame's fluid design, complemented by aggressively shaped tubes, custom-cut and oriented to resist the wind in any situation. Sarto relies on its now famous tube-to-tube construction, capable of significantly reducing ground vibrations, thus increasing rigidity and resistance.
Born from off-road
Sarto is a brand that also specializes in building gravel bikes. This experience was the starting point for the design of the Raso model. The most evident detail in this sense is the handlebar bend with an opening angle of 10,75 degreesA feature that allows for greater comfort during long rides thanks to better shoulder alignment.
Another detail that helps us understand the starting point of the Raso model is the increased section of the space for the tyres. On this model it is in fact possible to use tyres with a section of 35 mm..
Custom
The Sarto brand's great technical capabilities, developed over decades, allow the Raso model to be created entirely to measure. This is because production takes place entirely within the company.But the customization doesn't end there; you can choose everything according to your tastes: colors, shades, geometric patterns...
It will be satin officially presented at Rouleur Live London today: Thursday 3 November.
