#DesignBreak
Just re-blogging something fresh I saw a couple of days ago: The BME X-9 Nighthawk. If you're not into technical ish, jump straight to the photos. But if you would like some design hits and engineering in your life, by all means read on.
Done by Brano Meres Engineering and Design, The X-9 Nighthawk is an experimental frame made out of sandwich panels with aramid honeycomb as a core, covered
with carbon fiber skins.
The frame structure was created from honeycomb sandwich panels which were water-jet cut, connected and
laminated over by carbon fiber.
X-9 Nighthawk with handlebars, fork and the new BME S72 saddle prototype. The handlebars with the stem were made out of carbon fiber,
the carbon fork was shaped to fit the frame design.
The X-9 Nighthawk frame was completed in December 2011, while the
fully assembled singlespeed bike equipped with belt drive was presented
to the public
at Berliner Fahrradshau in Berlin in March 2012 where attracted a lot of attention.
X-9 Nighthawk is equipped with the infiniti3D bicycle component security system developed by
Atomic22. Detail of the rear hub equipped with the infiniti3D Guard Dogs developed by Atomic22 as well.The rear brake cable is internally routed in the top tube.
