Man, this looks super cool. There's not many ultralight road frames coming out these days.

They could surely do better with marketing - the name "SC-058" makes me think of some open mold stuff, difficult to create an iconic product if you name it like that.

I can sort of decipher where they came up with that SCR-058 name. SCR means Super Carbon Racing? And 058 is the 580 gram Medium frame weight with the numbers rearranged. So it all makes sense. But I agree the name does sound wacky, even if I can sort of decipher how they came up with it.

Yep, you betcha.....

Interesting. As we know, in 2017 AX lightness beefed up the Ultra by 100g at least. The original was like 600g or around it. Unless Extralite have come up with new techniques or materials, I'd guess there will be notable compromises in this frame.

The state of carbon fiber, it's about the resin. One the Rca bike Cervelo said they used super resin in locations. But cound't in all locations as the cost was 10 time as much as normal resin. That weight is possible but it's going to be be $$$$$

I wonder what the dimensions are and maybe I can fit on a small with a longer stem. And what weight would that be at? 540g wow

naked carbon with a thin matte clearcoat, that alone saved about 100g

That's true. I had the 2014 version and 2015-2016 version. Now i have an end of 2018 made bike (2019 year model) and it weights more.
But it's reinforced, it's stiffer and made to be more durable.
I won't go in to details, but i can say, be weary of frames über light promising a life time of success.
I also had issues with Extralite stem damaging two fork steerer tubes.
Ryde Trace 22 rims, both front and rear uneven in 2-3 weeks. Rear rim cracked seating a stubborn tire.

I would be cautious and read up alot and ask more if i bought this frame. Foremost on warranty as Extralite have no documented expertise in carbon manufacturing.
Most likely it's outsourced to a small builder, but again, if this frame develop cracks, who warrants the frame?
If you'd be deemed of misuse, you might end up with trouble.

Excellent points. This frame has been in development for at least a couple of years now judging by previous photos they've put up on Insta etc

Btw, will this frame be UCI-legal?
One reason Ax did oversee the older vs newer Vial EVO, was reinsure it would handle the abuse of these events.

I would probably think one time more when it comes to safe riding, no severe headaches over cracks and broken frame.
If something is pure kill-blow, then it's the process of warranty when it comes to such expensive things.
The time line is giving you depression and so might the outcome.
There is with facts in hand, some things to think of.

I would honestly rather use a builder who have the know-how and/ or have had time over years refining a product.
Things not obvious in test, is the true test of time, many users, much feedback.
Same goes for wheels (rims). I have my reasons saying this and i do it to save you guys from possible heartache.

But sure, take it as you want
