Trek OCLV - The World's Best Carbon

OCLV Mountain is a process of building a stronger carbon frame structure. We use it in nearly every carbon mountain bike.

It's the right material for the right application — it increases damage tolerance at areas susceptible to impact from trail debris, without adding significant weight.

yes. the small dent in the aluminum frame rendered it unrideable. sounds legit to me. also, apparently rocks fly upward from trails with the strength of highspeed anvils.

that sound when the rocks bounce off of the carbon armor made me laugh

I'm not worthy of a trek

[tkcypruss07]

wait... blunt axes attached to anvils and falling at high speed will dent my bike?... oh thank god they built armor!..WHEW...

:32 - :38 made me laugh out loud

@JonasTheSniper this is thicker than an aluminum can, and this is not the same concept. the can stays strong under compression. that bar is not a vertical bar. it is horizontal and infront of the seat. it would face almost no compressing force. you've obviously never owned an aluminum bike.

if theres cosmetic damage, well that means itsa not as good as new!

@mattprit Go stand on an empty coke can. You can, because it's a cylinder.

Now put a dent in the side and try.

Thanks for playing The Game of Physics.

stupid 1st he used 0 degrees carbon direction...ofcourse its going to crack cos its only the resin matrix that is taking the force.

secondly on the third test the stress is NOT only cosmetics, there are micro cracks and they increase by time.

its the wrong type of resin they used pluse its the wrong laminate direction combinations to use
