The Delta 7 Sports Arantix Mountain Bike
January 10, 2008 | Filed under Exercise Equipment

With global warming and traffic on the increase, it may be worthwhile to think about purchasing a bike. Thinking that a Bike will be too heavy to carry around? Think again. The new Delta 7 Sports Arantix Mountain Bike has looked to Ancient Egypt in search for the answer to the extremely stong, light-weight mountain bike.
At Delta 7 they realise that a simple polygon shape is able to hold up a pharaoh’s tomb for hundreds of years. Taking that idea, they decided the shape should be able to survive some off-roading. This concept is what makes the Arantix Mountain Bike so special.
Boasting an IsoTruss carbon fiber frame with Kevlar open lattice tube design, the bike comes in weighing just 2.75 pounds! Apparently, the bike is 10 times stronger than a steel frame of the same weight.
A lot of work goes into a frame like this. Each frame uses over 1,678 feet of carbon fiber and takes 300 hours to build. As you can imagine, a frame like this won’t come cheap. The whole bike will cost around $11,995 or you can get the frame for just $6,995.
