SIMPLON – Worldclass Bikes for Worldclass Riders
Yet another season Team NetApp trusts in the high-end bike engineers from SIMPLON. The family-run business from Austria was founded fifty years ago and manufactures individual bikes on world class level. Today third generation Christian and Andreas Hämmerle head the technology and innovation leader at Lake Constance. About 16.000 premium bikes p.a. leave the manufactory – build and assembled with highest quality and best performance in mind.
The PAVO is dedicated to world class performance and enthusiastic cyclism. Über-light, superstiff and yet xtra-smooth in long distance or on the pavé. Fully SRM power meter compatible. A ride on a PAVO delivers everything an athletes should expect. It is truely fast, precise, agile – and reliable on descends. „We’ve been testing the PAVO for half a season now – both in races and trainings. The frame symbolises world class workmanship. It offers exceptional handling during rides. We cannot imagine a better frame. The PAVO has proven on any road surface: everyday training rides, rough pavé roads (Paris-Roubaix) as well as stage races (Tour de Suisse, Tour de California, Tour of Turkey) and German Spring Classics (Rund um Köln, Rund um den Finanzplatz Eschborn-Frankfurt). I’d like to stress the frame’s extraordinary all-over-stiffness. It offers an extraordinary riding quality – also in long descends – regardless of the rider’s weight. High class damping characteristics especially result from the PAVO’s unique VIBREX®-engineering of the seatstays. As of our riders the PAVO’s damping design has proven world class even in the Hell of the North. Although ridden under extreme and continious stress not even one of the frames showed flaws or damages. Eventually there is the frame’s weight. Even without superlight tuning parts a PAVO race machine easily tips the UCI norm of 6,8kg .“ Enrico Poitschke, Sport Director Team NetApp, 28. Juni 2011

Aerodynamics and rock solid riding. Plus: It is über-light. It is the dreambike for triathletes as well as timetrailists. Dual seat-positioning offers a biomechanically perfect position of the rider. Top-of-the-line carbon technologies have been implemented in this frame. The MR.T frameset is fully compliant to UCI regulations and offers perfect aerodynamics. Due to our DOUBLE CHAMBER technology the tubes combine enormous stiffness, stable handling and sleak design of the frame.
