But not anymore! With the i:SY Skyfly, which is available with an ultra-light carbon frame, the stairs become child's play. Thanks to carbon, the i:SY is available from 16.9 kg. But why is carbon so ingenious, and what can this wonderful material actually do? Let's find out together!
What is carbon?
Carbon is the superhero among materials. It is a high-tech material made of extremely thin but incredibly strong carbon fibers bonded with a special epoxy resin. This combination makes carbon extremely stable and at the same time as light as a feather. It is precisely these properties that make the iSY Skyfly your perfect companion.

2. Cool shapes: Carbon can be made into almost any shape you can imagine. This means stylish designs and perfect aerodynamics. Your i:SY Skyfly not only looks great, it performs like it too!
3. Durability and rust protection: Don't be afraid of rust! Carbon stays like new even after many years. It is durable and can easily withstand daily wear and tear. So you can rely completely on your i:SY Skyfly.
Where is carbon used?
Carbon is a real all-rounder that is used in many areas beyond the bicycle industry. Here are some impressive examples:
Aerospace: Carbon is used in the manufacture of aircraft parts and spacecraft because it is lightweight yet incredibly strong. It contributes to fuel efficiency and improves overall performance.
Automotive industry: In the production of super sports cars such as the Bugatti Veyron, carbon is used for the body and other essential parts. This results in better acceleration and handling of the vehicle.
Sports equipment: Tennis rackets, golf clubs and even surfboards are often made of carbon. These materials offer athletes better control and performance.
Medicine: Carbon is also used in medicine, for example in prostheses and implants, because it is light and biocompatible.
