Technical data sheet
As mentioned, there are many new features in this frame. We point out the string pattern, which goes from the old 18×19 to an optimal 16×19. The platter is still the permissive 104 with the balance receding 5 mm, becoming a classic 32 cm.

The data are to be considered with frame not strung.
The technology adopted to make the frame so elastic is the FeelFlex system (which we have also seen on the Blade 98) which replaces the old Countervail, now present only on its older sister 104 SW. Practically in common with the last edition we find only the “mold”, in fact the frame remains with profile 22 and the length that is confirmed 1 cm longer than the standard. Considering that even the sublime grip has been replaced by the new Pro Performance, it is easy to see that the project is generally highly innovative.
