Frame & Aerodynamics
The latest Reacto generation introduces refined tube shaping, reduced weight and deeper integration across the frame. The CF3 chassis shares the same aerodynamic performance and stiffness values as the flagship CF5, making only small weight concessions to deliver a more budget-friendly package.
