Monocoque Carbon

Somec monocoque frames are crafted using molds of absolute quality standards and the finest carbon fiber plies available on the market. This foundation is enhanced by world-class, cutting-edge construction methods, such as the EPS (Expanded Polystyrene System) and the innovative UNI-C technology.

The EPS System utilizes a solid, pre-shaped polystyrene core covered with a nylon sheath, around which the carbon layers are wrapped before being placed into the mold. During the heating phase in the autoclave, the core expands, pressing the fibers uniformly against the mold. This ensures a compact structure, completely free of air pockets or internal voids.

The UNI-C system is the evolution of the EPS method, featuring a solid polypropylene core and a silicone sheath. Thanks to the superior elasticity of silicone, the carbon adheres perfectly to the mold, allowing for highly accurate wall thickness control and achieving an impeccable finish even inside the frame (less roughness = fewer stress points).

Both systems enable the production of superior-grade frames by optimizing resin usage and eliminating any excess. The result? Frames that are lighter, extremely durable, and safer.
