Technology

BeOne® Technology._Our carbon frames are designed

for sport and racing. The quality

needed to achieve these goals

reflects the enormous confidence

we have in these frames.

_Riders can only perform to their

limits when they have

full confidence in the bike

underneath them.


BeOne Technology:Our carbon frames are designed for sportive and racing.

Oversized

shell

_Our carbon frames use only the highest

quality carbon fibre, but even this is not

enough for us. The advanced production

technology that we use finally results in extreme rigidity,

the lowest weight and, above all, superior handling.

Once we had achieved this, and agreed that the carbon

frames finally satisfied BeOne’s demanding criteria, we

allowed them to join the Be One bike range.

These are not just words. A serious professional

manufacturing technology has resulted in the best

product for you, the demanding racer. Everything that

we develop is tested rigorously by world-class riders.

Whether its cyclo-cross, MTB, track or on the road,

nothing will find its way to you before our pros are

satisfied. We want you to have total confidence in our

BeOne products.

Twin secTiOn downtube construction

_For our down tubes and front forks, we use

a unique construction method that we have

labeled DOuBlE ChAMBER. We have integrated

a secondary supporting internal carbon wall throughout

the entire carbon downtube to prevent torsion.

The down tube is particularly susceptible to torsion, which

results in a loss of energy and forward motion. Each pedal

stroke causes immense pressure on the down tube and

bottom bracket. With DOuBlE ChAMBER technology you

can be assured that this is reduced to a minimum and that

your energy is directed towards forward motion.

mOnObOx bracket/chainstay construction and

Oversized bottom bracket

_To achieve maximum frame rigidity, an

extremely rigid bottom bracket shell is

required to transmit maximum power from

the bottom bracket to the chain. BeOne frames have a

MONOBOX bottom bracket shell/chainstay construction

and an OVERSIZED BOTTOM BRACKET.

Oversized

shell

The MONOBOX construction means that our bottom

bracket and the chainstays are one piece and not

bonded together as in most other frames. As a result,

the lowest possible tolerances are achieved.

Combined with an OVERSIZED BOTTOM BRACKET, we

estimate that this, should result in 100% energy

input = 100% forward motion.

Twin secTiOn frontfork

_Normally a front fork is not an integral part

of the frameset. Most of the time, a standard

fork is sourced and added to the frame. For

ultimate handling and a really responsive ride, we

believe that the frame and the fork should be developed

together as one unit. The front fork is the nerve centre

of any bike as it transmits road conditions to the hands

of the rider through the handlebars. Our forks have been

designed only for our frames and this has resulted in a

perfectly balanced unit. As in the case of the down tube,

we have used DOuBlE ChAMBER tubing for our front

forks. Once again, torsion is eliminated.

Front fork vibration has always been a major problem

in fork technology. The rider loses ‘feel’ for the road,

there is excessive vibration on fast descents and tight

turns are not recommended. Our DOuBlE ChAMBER

technology reduces vibration to a minimum. BeOne

bikes provide an outstanding controlled ride and out-

perform the competition. like we said, we want your

energy input to be translated into forward momentum.

And our technology gives you that opportunity.

With all this hidden technology, you might think that

BeOne frame and forks are going to be heavy. You

couldn’t be more wrong. We have achieved all this and

have still managed to produce a light frame and forks.

Maybe they’re not the lightest, but we can guarantee

you a unique balance of strength and light construction.

Our aim will never be to produce the lightest on the

market but with a weight of 960 gr for the road frame,

1020 gr for the MTB frame and 320 gr for our ‘DOuBlE

ChAMBER’ forks. We easily achieve the 6.8kg uCI

standard for a complete roadbike.

BeOne® for the best performance._The bikes that make BeOne

unbeatable. Fast. ultra-light and

ultra-strong. With carbon frames

and forks, these bikes are specially

developed to meet the demands

of the racer and the enthusiastic

weekend warrior. We’ve listened

carefully to what the professionals

want and the result is light, lean

and racy. With high bracket rigidity

and accurate steering.

_The crème de la crème for the

best performance.

Thijs Al, Dutch mountain

biking champion:

‘ Every turn of the pedals counts.’

_The Dutch mountainbike champion

Thijs Al is a pro who now works for

the BeOne team. A short time ago,

Thijs signed a contract with the

AA Cycling Team, which is sponsored

by AA drink. AA Cycling Team has

been around for years. _This winter

the team fielded the top riders

Richard Groenendaal and Thijs Al,

and the rising talent Stef Boden.

Interview


_Thijs Al was a bit fed up. We spoke to him while the

Olympic Games in Beijing were in full swing. The pre-

vious time, at the Athens Games, he was there but not

now because he has shifted the accent of his cycling

career. Thijs is now going to concentrate on cyclo-cross

and that is not an Olympic discipline.

‘Cyclo-cross is more explosive and that suits me

better,’ says Thijs. ‘Sure, I’m the Dutch mountainbike

champion but I won’t make the world top.’

This is typical of Thijs Al. he looks friendly and good-

natured but underneath is a tough top sportsmen who

wants only to win.

_‘The games in Athens were great,’ says Thijs. ‘There

are no words to describe what you experienced there

as a sportsman. Take the dining room for the athletes,

for example. It was as big as three football fields. Six

football fields! It feels good to be part of that sporting

elite. Every four years, about ten thousand athletes

take part, and about two hundred from the Nether-

lands. And you’re one of them! That’s something that’s

really fantastic.’

On the other hand, Thijs’ results in Athens were not

so fantastic. Thanks to a breakdown, he came in 25th.

Or, to put it more positively, as the last of the real top

riders. Of course, this makes him one of a small club

at the world’s top but that doesn’t count. Winning is

everything.

riding the prototype to its limits

_From 1st January, Thijs will be competing in cyclo-

cross in the AA Cycling Team with old hand Richard

Groenendaal. BeOne will provide the bikes.

‘I hope that I can grow to Richard’s level next season,’

says Thijs. ‘And if he stops in March 2009, I hope to take

over his position in the team.’

_In any event, Thijs has taken the lead in developing

equipment for the AA Cycling Team. BeOne’s top moun-

tain-bike model for 2008 was tested in the summer of

2007 by Thijs.

_‘That model has a carbon frame with an unusual

geometry,’ says Thijs enthusiastically. You want a bike

like that to react immediately. This bike is extremely

manoeuvrable and does exactly what you want. It’s

almost as if it thinks with you. I still remember when I

rode it for the first time. I phoned the developer from

the forest to say how fantastic it was!’

The carbon frame itself is lighter than a bag of sugar.

Once set up, the road version weighs in at a little over

seven kilos while the mountain-bike version weighs

nine kilos. But lightness is not everything: the bike must

also be rigid, certainly around the bottom bracket.

Otherwise the energy of the rider is lost in the move-

ment of the frame.

_‘Certainly in the case of a first test, you try to ride a

prototype like that to its limits: making sharp turns,

fast descents over rough terrain. I gave it hell but it

performed perfectly. With a bike like that, I’m looking

forward to all the major competitions, including the

world cup,’ says Thijs.

‘Certainly in the case of

a first test, you try to ride

a prototype like that to

its limits: making sharp

turns, fast descents over

rough terrain. I gave it

hell but it performed

perfectly.’

Thijs Al, Dutch mountainbike champion:‘every turn of the pedals counts.’
