Equipped with a state-of-the-art frame, topnotch components, and an innovative design, the Cadillac ERT-2 Elite series road bike is truly in a league of its own. The Dedacciai frame features the company’s EM2 tubing, a high-quality aluminum/carbon fiber combination–often referred to as a “third metal”–that’s stronger than traditional rides and approximates the rigidity of soft steel. At the same time, the frame is three times lighter than most aluminum frames, making it ideal for longer and more challenging courses. The frame also incorporates Kevlar fibers into specific regions, adding a special resistance to sudden stress and the ability to absorb vibrations. Complementing the frame is a Reynolds Ouzo Pro carbon fiber fork–the choice fork of pro cycling teams worldwide. Reynolds’ proprietary one-piece manufacturing process spreads 100-percent carbon material throughout the crown to deliver unrivaled strength while weighing very little, with the ability to turn even the hardest riding into a comfortable cruise.
