"Follow along with the Frameworks Racing crew as they head to Hardline to test the forces on Asa Vermette's frame at one of the hardest downhill races in the world. Working with the team at Faction Bike Studio, Frameworks uses telemetry gear to stress test and analyze the forces on Asa's frame. With the data gathered, Frameworks and Faction can then more accurately replicate real-world forces - very extreme real-world forces - on the frame in future lab testing."
"When analyzed at Faction Bike Studio, the hardest impact forces on Asa's frame are said to be " similar to a car crash into a wall." Data like this provides valuable insight as Frameworks transitions its frames from a traditional welded construction to a bonded frame. As one of Frameworks' team partners, Loctite adhesives are quite literally keeping its bonded frames together, and this data will help them determine just how strong those bonds need to be."
Frameworks Racing collected telemetry from Asa Vermette's bike while competing at Hardline to capture force data during one of the world's toughest downhill races. Faction Bike Studio partnered on the instrumentation and later analyzed the recorded impacts in the lab. The highest impact events on the frame registered forces described as similar to a car crash into a wall. That force profile will be used to replicate real-world extreme loads in future lab testing. Frameworks is using those insights to guide the transition from welded tubes to bonded frame construction. Loctite adhesives are being evaluated to determine bond strength requirements for the new bonded frames.
