Carbon air chamber

Brief:

  • replace the standard aluminum air chamber housing by an entirely carbon version

Challenge:

  • make class A surfaces on the inside (guiding and sealing) and outside (esthetics) 
  • make thread out of the same material
  • deal with low heat dissipation of the carbon material

Result:

  • Weight reduction of about 60% relative to the previous component: from 43g to18g (165mm eye-to-eye)
  • lightest serial production air chamber worldwide
