Flared-diamond top tube offers exceptional handling. The top tube expansion at the head tube creates a super-solid front end for precision handling. Ovalized triangle cross-section of the massive down tube redirects front end flex forces into drive power. The unique seat tube accepts all common seat posts and yet transitions to transverse flat oval at the base to improve bb stiffness. Sweeping bladed stays work in harmony to create maximum vertical compliance and minimum aerodynamic drag. The super-short chain stays increase direct power transfer and raw acceleration. Billet titanium replaceable rear derailleur hanger for easy maintenance.

A truly blended bike, the 2006 Ultimate combines the very best of G.E.T. and P.F.T. tube shaping technology to create a frame that is ultra stiff from side-to-side, yet vertically compliant to give a super smooth all-day ride. Look at the design of the bb intersection. The broad bases of the down and seat tubes increase the torsional stiffness of the bottom bracket shell greatly. This creates a dramatic increase in power transfer and acceleration. The beautifully bladed sweeping seat stays slice through the wind with F1 precision and provide sublime ride quality. It truly is the Ultimate performance machine.
