Museeuw MFC 3.0 Frame

Eternal Comfort With Race Day Response

A sit in the saddle all day kind of frame while power pedaling and mile munching is what the MFC 3.0 is equipped for. A progressive tour style geometry frame blending strength and comfort to best assure longevity in the ride. The MFC 3.0 frame is a perfect mixture of 24 Ton HM Carbon (24 tons of tensile strength) and Flaxpreg 2.0 (Flaxpreg on seatstay and fork) sharpening the frame and forks characteristics; agile and precise handling while remaining eternally smooth, as well as externally smooth with internal cabling routing and electronic shift compatibility. Additional features include the BB86 bottom bracket and MFC reversed aero tapered fork.

MFC Tour Geometry

Inspired by the cobblestone roads of the Paris-Roubaix and the Tour of Flanders, the MFC Tour geometry is the methodical product of Johan Musseuw. It is designed with square reinforced tubing to give more torsional and lateral stiffness, a taller cut headtube for a more upright and stable ride and a MFC carbon fiber/Flaxpreg fork with a tapered headtube for smooth and responsive steering. Bumpy roads of yesteryears have been crushed and recreated in most developed areas, however, you might just have to take this bike on a tour of your own and find those cobblestone paths less traveled.

HM Carbon and Flaxpreg Technology

No expense was spared during the development of Museeuw carbon frames and forks. Seeking to answer the aged old question, well, as far as bicycles go, of strength and performance while delivering supreme comfort. Mating High Modulus carbon and Flax fibers together seems to be the conclusion, offering the best features of both materials. Marrying these materials together prove to make this to be a superior combination. The fibers of the flax being individually different gives the MFC 3.0 an advantage over other brands by soaking up the shocks of the road through the frame compared to normal carbon. The change in tensile strength of the carbon (dependent of the model) along with reinforcement with Flaxpreg in critical areas, this ride is independently tuned to exude the characteristics that provide vibration absorption.

Museeuw History

Museeuw Bicycles is the brainchild and well-known Belgian cyclists of Johan Museeuw, whose creation was formed after he retired from road racing after 16 years of professional cycling. Known as the Lion of Flanders, Johan was one of the most successful cyclist's Flanders has ever seen in his time. Can you say “winning”?! Johan’s alias, The Lion of Flanders has taken the titles of both 96' World Championships and the Cobbled Classics. As well as, a six-time winner of the Paris-Roubaix and the Tour of Flanders combined and holding second and third place on 8 different occasions. Johan is familiar with riding rough roads on and off the course. His passion for racing, riding and rocking the podium led him to team up with IPA Composite's of Belgium and Billato Linea Telai, a frame builder in Italy. This union has led to the creation of a perfect match of composites, solid quality control and impeccable design in each build of frame and fork.
