It's been voted the 'Best Bike of the World,' and it's even won the 2011 iF Product Design Award. Yes, we're talking about the Storck Fascenario 0.6 Road Bike Frame. Simply put, the 0.6 is the full-demonstration of Storck's capabilities. It's constructed using Storck's finest carbon fiber, its most complex proprietary manufacturing process, Power SL crankarms, integrated brakes, and Storck's most sophisticated fork design to date. Collectively, it becomes undeniable that the Fascenario 0.6 is truly the total package.


Starting with the carbon fiber itself, the Fascenario 0.6 was constructed from Storck's own uni-directional carbon fiber. Why uni-directional? Well, compared to a woven carbon fabric, uni-directional carbon is oriented as it sounds, with one direction, or on one axis. And while this makes the production process incredibly complex in regards to both load path and force direction determination, the payout is worth it to Storck. You see, compared to woven layups, uni-directional fibers tend to better stiffen frames, while also improving vibration dampening. And, this is achieved at a much lower overall weight. However, Storck was far from finished in any of these regards.


Let's approach the Storck layup process in a short series of steps. First off, Storck begins the design with 3D CAD imaging. This digital process provides Storck with the precise data and dimensions necessary for the development of the mold. From there, the CFR/UD fibers are soaked in resin and hand-placed into the computer-generated mold. Once placed in the mold, the fibers are heated and pressed into place with an air channeling tool. Afterwards, the fibers are smoothed over by hand, ensuring an unprecedented level of preciseness and detail to the layup.


To add even more rigidity to the frame, Storck wrapped the molded uni-directional fibers with its proprietary woven carbon fibers. Essentially, these differ from uni-direction in that the fibers are oriented on two or more axes. Like it sounds, the fibers are woven, almost like a knit, and accordingly, the fibers handle flexural and tensile loads on multiple axes harmoniously as a collective. So, in even simpler terms, ask yourself a question: What's stronger, a rope or an unwoven collection of rope fibers? In its application, this theory proves to supply more impact resistance, durability, and more importantly, a higher stiffness-to-weight ratio.


However, before we get ahead of ourselves, Storck's process of doing this is not only time-consuming, but patented. It relies on its own manufacturing technology called VVC, or Void Vacuum Controlled. Essentially, this process reduces the required resin content by around 1/3 in comparison to the resin zeitgeist by eliminating the 'voids' in the carbon layup. Accordingly, the post-VVC layup is free from any bubbles or voids that decrease the integrity and capability of the finished carbon.


It's worth noting that the Fascenario is, in fact, molded in a monocoque. This means that the Fascenario is comprised of specific modulus carbon fibers throughout the frame, or in other words, it features a one-piece molded construction. This eliminates excess weight by requiring less carbon and resin application at the tube junctures of the frame. As a result, the complete 'fuselage' --frame, fork, brakes, and Power Arms SL cranks tip the scales around 1750 grams. 


Now, if you're wondering, yes, the Power Arms SL and integrated carbon fiber V-brakes are included. The Power Arms SL weigh in around 440 grams without rings. However, this figure does include their integrated external bearings. So, if you were to pair these cranks with, say, Rotor round chainrings, you'd be looking at a complete crankset that weighs around 579 grams. As for the brakes, Storck integrated the brake calipers behind the fork blades and seatstays. And, as a result, aerodynamics are thoroughly increased.


Moving into frame specifics, you'll find a massive, oversized PressFit BB86 bottom bracket juncture that efficiently transfers power to the rear triangle. And not surprisingly, we see the reoccurring theme at work again of increased weight reduction coming as a result of increased power transfer. At the seatstays, Storck gracefully originates them from a box-section above the brake caliper. And again, this results in increased comfort via vertical compliance, however, it also directly equates to a higher level of lateral rigidity. Additionally, you'll find that the Fascenario is one of the most painstakingly rider-tuned frames on the market. This is due, in part, to Storck's proportional tubing concept, where every frame size uses adapted dimensions, wall thickness, tube diameter, and tapering to ensure the precise intended ride quality regardless of size. Rounding out the construction is electronic-specific internal cable routing.


For the fork, Storck incorporated its latest revolution in design, the Scapula F. This fork features a 3K weave construction, and it's also been mated to a carbon reinforced head tube and a 1-1/8-inch integrated headset. Additionally, you'll notice that the drive side fork blade features a port for clean cable routing to the integrated V-brake.


Altogether, these technologies, paired with an unrelenting dedication to hand-built perfection, create a frame that's balanced, lightweight, compliant, and most importantly, fast.


The Storck Fascenario 0.6 Road Bike Frame is available in the color Black and in five odd sizes from 47 to 59cm. Please note that this frameset includes Storck's Power Arms SL, integrated brake calipers, an integrated 1-1/8in ceramic headset, a BB86 bottom bracket, and a 34.9mm seatpost collar. The Fascenario 0.6 also requires a 31.6mm seatpost.
