Selene :: Selene 3.0 - Ride Velocite, feel invincible

In the photographs above, custom Selene 2.0 with Velocite Noir 50/90C wheels. The actual bike will vary from the photographs.

Velocite Selene

Key Features:

Asymmetric, tapered head tube 1 1/8” top, 1.5” bottom
BB30 bottom bracket
Head tube cable routing
Allround/Long distance geometry
Full lifetime warranty

Weight: 1200g-1450g

Construction: Double hand welded custom profile, triple butted 7005-T6 alloy, 100% shot-peened after welding.

Velocite Selene was made to be the best alloy frame in the world, bar none. It is the first modern alloy frame that was designed to match, or exceed the performance of contemporary carbon fibre frames.

Each tube that makes up the Selene is custom shaped and butted in the factory and each tube is custom manipulated for each frame size. The tubes are then double welded by hand to ensure perfect quality and strength. The Velocite Selene is also one of the very few road frames that is subjected to and passes the strict EN testing.

The oversize head tube ensures that the comparable softness of aluminium does not negatively impact the steering precision and confidence when racing at full speed. All tubes are oversized to maximise the frame's torsional stiffness, while the seat stays are relatively thin and very long to allow sufficient vertical compliance for long distance comfort.

Finally, the Selene is painted in a specialist paint shop using 6 coats of paint and lacquer to achieve the highest possible finish quality and durability.

The geometry of the Velocite Selene is that of a stage racer. You can stay comfortable in the saddle for many hours, day after day. However due to its stiffness and stability the Selene is also well suited to shorter races, or criteriums.

Below are some key technologies found on all of our frames. For more in-depth technology information click on the following links:

Carbon Fiber
Frame Design

	High Compaction Technology. Allows creation of very strong and very light frames and represents the best technology for monocoque frame construction that is currently available. The end result is smooth tubes inside and out, with perfect thickness control and no voids.
	Full Length Carbon BB30 Shell. Increased stiffness benefits and reduced weight of the BB30 system are maximized. The full length carbon shell is 3.5mm thick and is therefore an effective, rigid structural member providing a perfect platform for the bottom bracket bearings. The benefits of our BB30 implementation are greater stiffness and lighter weight compared to any other bottom bracket system.
	Carbon Elements. All mechanical interface points on carbon Velocite frames are made of carbon fiber. The BB shell, headset races and dropouts are all full carbon. This maximizes the stiffness while reducing the weight by a combined 20g.
	Oversize Head Tube. All Velocite frames use 1 1/8" top bearing and 1.5" bottom bearing tapered head tubes to increase the strength and torsional stiffness of the front part of the frame. This feature allows the use of stiffer tapered steerer forks, greatly improving the steering response and increasing your confidence during high speed riding.
	High Performance Stays. Used in all rear triangles of Velocite frames. They are designed with a focus on strength and obtaining optimal rear triangle torsional stiffness. To deliver the maximum power transfer during climbing or sprinting, the rear triangle should flex as little as possible.
	Velocite Optimized Carbon. This advanced carbon fiber composite layup is a special blend of 5 to 13 layers of various tensile strength and tensile modulus carbon fiber prepreg material with special attention to torsional stiffness. We never apply a cosmetic surface layer to our frames.

"A while ago I bought my first road bike, a Selene Ultegra with NIOC32 wheels. After trying it for quite a few trips I have got a good picture of the ride quality. The first thing that struck me was how little vibration that went through the bike Regardless of the quality of road surface. After years of mountain bikeing, this was a big surprise. The only thing I had to adjust was to turn the stem for a little less aggressive posture.

I am a very happy owner of my Selene, and do not regret a second that I chose this one:) "
