Planet X NanoLight frameset…Offered for the FIRST Time in the United States…JUST RELEASED.
Our new Nanolight is a full carbon, full performance frameset that’ll outsprint and outclimb the best in the bunch. The carefully hand tuned, carbon composite lay up uses a compact geometry that’s been shaped by years of feedback from some of the fastest, hardest riders on the circuit.
Designed by the foremost nano-carbon engineers at Sheffield University, this frame has undergone rigorous scientific testing to ensure structural stiffness, a comfortable geometry and tube shaping that will turn heads!
The 2010 Nanolight Pro Carbon is stronger, lighter, stiffer and more responsive than its SL Pro Carbon predecessor.
Partnering with a leading European manufacturer of carbon nanotubes and using Aerospace grade, ultra high modulus materials from the leading Japanese manufacturer, the development team have refined the precise compaction process to engineer a more uniform carbon fibre formation, eliminating resin pockets or voids.
This initial order is limited to ONLY 10 Framesets in the following color/size combinations: Small, White (2) - 920g Large, White (2) - 955g Small, Black (2) - 920g Medium, Black (2) - 945g X-Large, Black (2) - 965g
More pictures are also available on our website. As always, we are more than happy to custom build these into complete bikes with your choice of specs. Keep an eye on this site for special deals on complete NanoLight builds in the coming weeks…

If I didn’t already have two Sub 15lb road bikes in the basement I’d jump on one of these and have myself a nice 13lb climbing bike. Why oh why do I have to be a semi responsible adult?
No offense taken…I’m actually glad you opened this up. Our model is selling direct…that’s why we can sell much more inexpensively. In the bike industry, everyone needs their 30-40% margin, so every extra person (distributor, dealer, etc) that touches the product substantially increases the price.
That said, I DO successfully work with a few dealers in the USA who want to carry the product. I am always open to new dealer accounts…i just don’t go looking for them.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but any further details on when the Exocet will be available? Pricing? Thanks.
You mean THIS Exocet…
I just finished building it about 10 minutes ago…Sram Force Crankset (bb30) front and rear der cassette, tt900 shifters, profile QS Carbon brake levers, ISM adamo Racing saddle, CNC ultalight brakeset, Planet X 50mm carbon tubulars with Tufo S3Lite tubies an Look Keo Sprint pedals. SWEET RIDE. 17 lbs 6oz INCLUDING pedals.
