The Montello has been the Time Trial machine of choice since its inception. One of
the most successful time trial frames in the peloton, it has evolved into the highly
aerodynamic machine is now offered. As with the FM1, it comes with two seatposts
for either a traditional time trial position or a steeper triathlon position. The 0mm setback
creates a 76.5º seat angle while the 22mm setback creates a 74.5º seat angle.
A track version is available as a special order.
In 2007 the Montello was redesigned. The monocoque front triangle and bonded rear
stays now use a level of carbon fiber that was never been used for a bicycle before
the Montello.
The FP8 fork is fully monocoque carbon fiber down to the drop-outs. The result of this
High Modulus carbon with a tensile strength of 46 tons per square centimeter and a
3,000 fibers per crossing is an unbelievably strong and fast frame
