The Dassi Interceptor utilizes graphene in its layup to create a light race bike with all the superlatives you expect. This carbon road bike comes out of England, where it is both designed and built. Dassi is a new company. The name is actually an acronym for: Dave, Adam, Stuart, Stuart, and Innovation. This represents their founders along with their mission. The four founders come from Formula One and aerospace backgrounds, providing them extensive experience in building light, strong, and aerodynamic out of carbon.
Dassi’s use of graphene is their biggest innovation to date. It’s a relatively new material and one that had previously only been used in bicycle tires. It is extremely thin and is mixed into Dassi’s epoxy in such a fashion that it has consistent density throughout the solution. Graphene is a vibration dampener, working like rubber between layers of carbon fiber. Damping vibrations is something most carbon-fiber frame manufacturers attempt to do in some way. Here, that dissipation is literally built into the tubes. Suspended in epoxy, it forms a latticework in between the layers of carbon fiber, thus both strengthening the tube and stiffening it. The increase in laminar strength between a frame tube without graphene and a frame tube with is 70 percent.
Aside from the graphene presence, the rest of the frame is built with a mix of different modulus fiber plies. The resulting frame is 800g (750g unpainted) with a 290g fork. As this is a race bike, it is built to handle fast. Short, 406mm chainstays, and aggressive angles will feel fast. The 70mm of bottom bracket drop and relatively generous fork rake will make the bike feel pretty stable. This bike remains incredibly stiff with this innovative build. Stiffness is the best way to transmit pedaling action into forward momentum and to assure steering it tight and precise.
The tubing enhances stiffness and aerodynamics. The tapered 1 1/8” to 1.5” steerer is hidden inside a tapered head tube. The aero shaped downtube, more of a Kamm-tail design tapers as it travels to the English-threaded bottom bracket. The seat tube is aero profiled and shrouds the rear wheel. Even the seatstays, while small, also are formed into Kamm-tail shapes. The seatpost is an airfoil as well.
The included seatpost is 350mm long. It has a Ritchey-style side clamp. There are replaceable hangers for both the rear and front derailleurs. This version of the Dassi Interceptor Graphene features the acclaimed SRAM Red eTap AXS electronic 12-speed groupset to top off its incredible performance. Because of their size and agility, Dassi can easily finish the frame with custom paint and/or custom geometry.
