Catálogo Guru Cycles 2014 by Iberobike.com

Like many custom frame manufacturers, Guru Cycles was founded by a passionate cyclist. With the belief that he could build a better bicycle than what was on the market, Tony Giannascoli set out as a pioneer in TIG welding steel frames, while his competition was still building lugged brazed steel frames. Tony's frames were much lighter, and had a unique ride quality that quickly gained a following in the cycling community. In 1993 Guru Cycles was founded, employees were hired, and production was ramped up. Today, Guru Cycles is renowned as a premier manufacturer of highend bicycles in carbon fiber, titanium, and steel in both stock and custom geometries. Our approach to making frames is based on

Tony's original idea of combining cutting edge technology delivered by hand with an old school attention to detail. In our ultra modern manufacturing facility just north of Montreal, Canada, our passionate employees embody our ideal of quality craftsmanship. Guru Cycles engineers, designers, and production staff challenge themselves daily to produce the best frames in the industry. Each frame is brought to life through a high tech process where every detail is analyzed and perfected. New, innovative methods are continuously explored and developed to build high-performance bicycles, and the end result is a product of incredible craftsmanship, innovation, and quality. Guru Cycles has continuously been at the forefront of bicycle design, manufacturing, and materials.

At Guru Cycles, we continuously strive for the ultimate balance between Technology, Innovation, and Craftsmanship to provide you with the perfect bicycle that will embody your unique needs. Any rider who buys a Guru should expect no less. This promise guides our actions and sets us apart as a premium bicycle company. Your passion drives us.

The Photon HL creates an entirely new category for lightweight frames: Hyperlight. Guru’s Quantum Carbon Concept (QCC) is a breakthrough in carbon fiber construction technology. This development gave rise to new techniques that allowed our engineers and designers to push the envelope of stiffness and weight; culminating in the creation of the Photon HL.

“One of the highest stiffness to weight ratios ever achieved in cycling."

Using the most complex carbon fiber lay-up in Guru’s history, the Photon HL requires a special time consuming one-man manufacturing process to build. The Photon HL is equipped with high-tech features, including the uniquely innovative Internal Adaptive Routing (IAR) that’s dual compatible with both mechanical and electric gruppos. Sub - 670 grams for a 54cm frame translates into one of the highest stiffness to weight ratios ever achieved in cycling. The Photon HL is in its own category above anything else currently on the market. We were so intent on creating the lightest possible frame, that our master painters even developed a brand new proprietary sub 5 gram clearcoat dubbed Specter.

Engineered from the ground up to be incredibly stiff while remaining light, the Photon R is the epitome of ultimate stiffness to weight. The Photon R delivers an aggressive feel without sacrificing the original Photon’s legendary ride quality. This frame was developed to surpass the stiffness numbers of industry leading frames while reducing weight. We achieved this ambitious objective and exceeded it by creating an unparalleled race frame that weighs under 80 0 grams for a 54cm size frame. Racers dream of a stiff frame that performs. The Photon R more than delivers with 30% increased stiffness in the bottom bracket region over the original Photon. Torsional stiffness also jumps 30% for increased handling and precise cornering, while keeping the same figures in comfort and vertical compliance. Photon R converts spin directly into speed.

“Engineered from the ground up to be incredibly stiff and light. The epitome of ultimate stiffness to weight."

Available in custom and our Fast Forward Race stock geometries, each Photon R is built using our proprietary Optimum Ride Engineering (ORE) system and a composite lay-up driven by the rider’s height and weight. An expanded mix of high and standard modulus fibers are used to provide complete control of ride characteristics and uniformity.

The Photon SL retains all of the best qualities of the original award winning Photon launched in 2010. As its successor, the SL continues the tradition of the best blend of responsiveness and vertical compliance – all this and sub -750 grams for a 54cm size frame. Thanks to the Fast Forward Flex geometry and custom options, this frame’s incredible ride characteristics are harnessed and made available to all riders. The Smart Design Carbon Dropout (SDCD) present on the Photon series dramatically increases shifting precision. Optimum Ride Engineering (ORE) allows you to ride farther due to a tuned flex in the seat tube and a vertically compliant rear triangle. Power delivery is more efficient than the original photon due to 10% greater bottom bracket stiffness.

“The SL continues the tradition of the best blend of responsiveness and vertical compliance."

Overall stiffness of the Photon SL is 15% higher than the original Photon; which lets you ride faster as a result of a higher level of pedaling efficiency.

T E C H N O L O G I E S Guru's Fast Forward Geometry is based on a simple premise: A long history of building custom frames has culminated in our unique stock geometry. We recognize that not everyone may require custom geometry, nor be prepared to wait the necessary time required. Guru’s Fast Forward Stock framesets are built with the same techniques, engineering, time, and exacting quality that we adhere to when building our custom framesets. The result is that the consumer can now choose to ride one of our award-winning frames with a fast turn around and at a competitive price. The development of distinct platforms allows us to focus on creating synergies between the geometry (FFX, FFR, FFA) and the category-specific features of frames across a range of sizes.

FA S T F O R WA R D F L E X G E O M E T R Y Fast For ward Flex is an all- around geometr y geared towards accommodating most riders. The true benefit of this geometr y is its flexibilit y to morph into either Race or Endurance positions. Not nearly as aggressive as Fast For ward Race, the geometr y is nominally taller and shor ter, while retaining aspects of a traditional race geometr y.

FA S T F O R WA R D R AC E G E O M E T R Y Fast For ward Race is a true race geometr y. Lower head tubes and longer top tubes accommodate road racers or seasoned veterans of the road. This geometr y was developed to harness the maximum potential of the frame with regard to the rider’s physiology. FFR is geared toward riders who possess good flexibilit y and are ready for a more aggressive race plat form.

We continuously strive to push the boundaries of manufacturing technology to create innovative features that have real world benefits for Guru riders.

The integration of engineering, design, and craf tsmanship as a global plat form for the development of high-tech innovative framesets. A symbiotic methodology that pushes for ward the best aspects of design and engineering to deliver the ultimate ride.

This innovative internal routing system provides for easy installation or conversion of mechanical or electric transmission without having to use dedicated par ts. The IAR system positions the cable stops at optimal locations on the frame to ensure crisp shif ting and responsive braking.

The incorporation of the tapered 1⅛ - 1½ head tube increases the front triangle stif fness to deliver razor sharp handling, super stable high-speed descents, and rock solid braking.

The new seat post rail system provides an unlimited front to back adjustment range. This range allows for the triathlete to be in the most ideal position for ultimate power transfer and is UCI compatible.

The tube junctions are made with a unique layup that staggers the carbon layers to avoid stress risers and evens out tube deformation. The frame is designed so that the rider can achieve the most aggressive position that can be sustained comfor tably. The totally redesigned full carbon dropout is notably lighter, stif fer and stronger than previous generations, enabling crisp and precise shif ting.

FA S T F O R WA R D A E R O G E O M E T R Y Fast For ward Aero is our triathlon-specific geometr y. This geometr y was developed over 14 years of building Tri specific frames and it explores Guru's Sustainable Aero Theor y (SAT ). A steeper tri specific seat angle addresses the need for more opened hip angles. The result is a sustainable skeletally suppor ted position uniquely suited for long course triathlon racing.

The asymmetric backbone (Chainstay - Down tube - Seat tube) of the frame is engineered to maximize power transmission to the back wheel.

Each tubeset made by Guru is produced with an at tention to detail and a level of craf tsmanship guaranteed to deliver the best ride characteristics for each given size.
