JEKYLL / SCARLET FRAMES
BallisTec Carbon Technology
Light, sti and ultra-tough carbon ber construction.
New, High-Strength, High-Impact Carbon construction. Ultra high-strength bers developed by the Japanese Military for ballistic
armor, and impact-resistant hot melt resins are used as the primary structural materials of the frame, while high modulus carbon
bers are used to strategically enhance stiness. Lighter and stier than aluminum, stronger and more durable than steel,
BallisTec carbon can shake o rock strikes and impacts that would cripple the competition and their carbon “shields”. In the
illustration (above right), the darker (black) areas of the unpainted frame image indicate carbon materials. The lighter shaded
areas indicate integration of alloy frame components.
SmartFormed Alloy
The alloy versions use SmartFormed, septuple-butted, heat-treated 6000 series aluminum. The down tube alone has seven dierent
wall thicknesses, created by butting the tube along its length, then mechanically shaping the tube, then hydro forming it into the
nal shape. Labor intensive and dicult, it shows Cannondale’s continued mastery of the aluminum arts. In the illustration (below
right), the unpainted frame image indicates alloy carbon materials. The dierent shading represents the dierent alloy parts.

Integrated Headtube
Both frame types feature integrated Si bearing cups. In alloy frames, the cups are machined within the head tube. In carbon
models, cups are bonded within the head tube. Cannondale Headshok System Integration bearings are accepted directly into
both type. For 1.5” and 1 1/8” adapter headsets, see Replacement Parts.
NOTICE
Do not face, surface, or cut the head tube bearing cups. When
removing adapters, bearings, or cup from, extra care must be used
so that the tool used to drive out the bearing is not located on any
part a bonded cup.
