The weight to strength ratio of IsoTruss carbon fiber in a Delta 7 bike frame equates to faster and higher efficiency bike performance. The photograph below illustrates the high strength-to-weight ratio that IsoTruss™ grid structures exhibit. These trusses have the ability to resist relatively high loads compared to their own weight. Here, four 8-node trusses all together weighing less than 1 lb. (.45 kg), support a reinforced concrete block weighing approximately 11,600 lb. (5262 kg).
