Description

Featuring a Monocoque construction for safety and comfort, Thomsons Road bar wing section is small enough not to restrict hand movement when riding on the top and allows bar angle adjustment without “locking out” your wrists. All the carbon fibre that Thomson uses is produced by Toray and uses tailor made Nano Epoxy Resin for very high impact resistance. Toray is the main supplier of carbon fibre for Boeing and Airbus. The Bars are moulded over an EPS mandrel to avoid wrinkles inside the layup during moulding. Most other bars are moulded over inflatable nylon bladders. Shaping on the bottom side of the wing allows housing to be taped out of the way without the use of narrow housing channels or internal routing, both of which shorten bar life. The Layup uses 3 different fibre types with different tensile strengths and tensile modulus, including High Strength carbon fibre. This helps allocate stiffness and flex where needed.
