The Pulse’s carbon frame for the 2027 model year is said to weigh 924 grams in size M when unpainted, whilst the fork tips the scales at 458 g. Megamo offers two carbon constructions: SLR uses high-modulus fibres for more efficient material distribution, whilst SL relies on a balanced fibre arrangement. Both variants share the same shape and geometry. The frame accommodates tyres up to 34 mm wide and features a T47 bottom bracket and UDH derailleur mount.
Aerodynamics in variable winds
Aerodynamic development focuses on crosswinds of between 2.5 and 10 degrees rather than purely head-on airflow. A striking feature is the wide-set fork, which is designed to delay airflow separation. The aerodynamic head tube reduces turbulence at the front end. The rear triangle directs the airflow around the rear wheel more efficiently. The frame, fork, head tube and cockpit were developed together to function as a single system.
Stiffness and geometry
A lower bottom bracket lowers the centre of gravity for greater stability when changing direction. The steeper seat tube angle positions the rider further forward over the bottom bracket for more efficient power transfer on climbs. Each size uses an optimised fork, ensuring that the trail remains identical across all sizes. This means that the handling of an XS should be the same as that of an XL.
Velora Carbon Aero Cockpit
The integrated cockpit weighs 320 g and is fitted as standard on all models. The spacers can be fitted above and below the stem, allowing for position adjustments without having to shorten the steerer tube. The GPS mount is compatible with Garmin and Wahoo cycle computers. An enlarged contact surface makes it easier to adopt the aero position with your hands on the lower part of the handlebars.
