The 2013 Ruby – Nothing Is Smoother And Faster
But before you ever see her on the showroom floor, she's been put through the wringer by women who ride like you, think like you, and strive to deliver the best ride for you.
Women's endurance technology
1 NEW WOMEN’S FACT CARBON FRAME
WHAT FACT carbon frame with carbon OSBB and women’s Endurance geometry.
WHY Maximizes control and stability, while minimizing fatigue.
HOW The frame’s FACT Triple Monocoque construction moves joints away from high-stress areas, resulting in fewer redundant materials and a lower overall frame weight (1,000gms for S-Works).
2 FULL-CARBON FORK
WHAT One-piece full-carbon fork.
WHY Helps reduce weight and increase stiffness while maintaining a smooth ride.
HOW Full-length EPS mandrel increases layup precision and molding results. By molding in one piece, the dropouts are molded with the fork legs rather than bonded in afterwards.
3 WOMEN’S BG CONTACT POINTS
WHAT Ergonomic and size-specific components including cranks, handlebars, and women’s Body Geometry saddles.
WHY To ensure that female riders get the most comfort and best fit at every contact point.
HOW We spec each bike individually based on frame size, geometry, and fit research. Through pressure mapping tests with Dr. Roger Minkow, we optimize the foam densities and cutaways in our saddles to relieve soft tissue discomfort.
4 ZERTZ
WHAT Viscoelastic dampers integrated into the Ruby seatstays and fork.
WHY Absorb road vibration to minimize fatigue and provide a more comfortable ride.
HOW Vibrations travel from the road through the wheels and up through the frame and fork. Putting dampers at the mid-section of each seatstay and fork leg helps dissipate these vibrations before they reach the rider’s hands and body.
