2015 Lynskey R460 Road Frame and Fork. In search of a pro quality superbike that will last a lifetime The Lynskey R460 is the stuff dreams are made of. Built from tough 6AL4V titanium, the R460 is a true race machine that's quick, agile, and indestructible. Achieving the frame's strength requires a unique manufacturing process. The R460 begins life as sheets of 64 aerospace titanium alloy the best of the best. From here, the alloy sheets are rolled into tubing and seam welded together by Lynskey at their Chattanooga, TN facility. These newly formed tubes create the R460's front triangle. This process ultimately gives the R460 its incredible stiffness for ultimate power transfer on the road. For the R460 frame, Lynskey utilizes a tapered, integrated head tube for confident handling and a clean design. Further down the bike, the over sized PressFit 30 bottom bracket offers silky smooth pedaling for the most powerful of riders, as well as durability for years to come. Additionally, Helix shaped seatstays resist vertical flexing for fantastic sprinting and climbing ability. The natural titanium finish ensures every fellow cyclist can be envious of the meticulous craftsmanship in the frame's construction, right down to the custom machined cloverleaf rear dropouts which signify just how lucky the owner of this bike is. Included with the R460 is the perfect fork to match the frame's thoroughbred pedigree the 2 Lynskey Pro Carbon Tapered Road Fork. It features full carbon fiber construction from steerer tube through to the dropouts and sports a 1 18 1.5 tapered carbon fiber steerer tube that provides a superb ride while keeping the weight to a minimum. The uncut fork, with a 300mm steerer tube, in fact weighs in at just 348 grams. When taken together as a whole, the R460 frame plus full carbon fork make an incredibly impressive foundation for anyone devoted to high performance road riding or racing.
