The Kimera was designed employing the state of the art in aerodynamics, biomechanics and carbon technology. The frame design was optimised even before building the first prototype using finite element analysis. The Ulthymo® carbon fibres were laid by hand. Frame geometry was repeatedly tested and optimised in the wind tunnel. These processes delivered exceptional results: 10% better aerodynamics and 105% higher stiffness values than a conventional track frame. The Kimera was based on wide-ranging industry collaboration. Partner organisations included OK from the Netherlands (NOC-NSF), the Cycle Sport Association, Shimano, Bioracer, TNO as well as the Netherlands Aerospace Institute (NLR) and Infinious.
