ARCH

In 2017 TITICI was the first brand in the world to launch the PAT (Plate Absorber Technology) system, the translation to the most sophisticated engineering level of a simple intuition: the shape of the tubes and the deformation of the materials have significant influence on the comfort perceived by the rider. The flat and ultra-thin shape (only 8 millimetres) of the top tube featuring PAT technology makes it possible to absorb up to 19% more vibrations while maintaining torsional stiffness.

True to the same principle, TITICI engineers have continued development and designed the new AAT system (Arch Absorber Technology) which introduces a second vibration reduction element into the RELLI frame. The seat tube has been redesigned with a special arch shape that has the function of dampening shock impulses between the two nodes of the bottom bracket and the saddle. In this way, vibrations are not transmitted directly and immediately from the ground to the cyclist’s body.

The result is an even greater perception of comfort with an overall benefit in terms of performance. On uneven terrain, typical of gravel races, the body is less fatigued: the cyclist can push to the maximum for longer.
