Yes, it depends how much time is being spent at certain gradients and on what terrain they expect the race to be won.

A few big brands have now combined or are combining aero and lightweight, though, so the decision no longer needs to be made.

Still, I’d really like to see what a 5.5kg UCI weight limit would do to the industry. Hoops said the next gen DA will retain rim brakes, which is very interesting. That leads me to believe that race bikes will have a calliper model again in the future (many don’t in this generation). Surely Shimano wouldn’t do this if they thought race bikes would continue to be disc only, as their product lifecycles are three years AFAICT.

you've been carradiced !

I think the SystemSix was ridden a lot in the Giro last year. Maybe due to Palace collab.

Is Docker trolling the gravel thread? He must be ‘on here’.

Fuck riding it in the mountains! Mine was nearly 8kg (HiMod). I suspect using the Vision stem and bars save some weight but still not a light bike.

Docker said on his podcast he used the Supersix in the only stage race he’s done this year.

It was a joke....

Aero bikes are 100% dumb.

Over my head.

This is the dumb bikes thread.

Gross

Imagine if that actually existed.

In the same way that F1 cars are 100% dumb.
But also awesome.

English is channeling Pengy vibes now

For the new page

'a burlier version for a heavier rider'

Strong candidate for ugliest bike ever.

And stupidest

Look at the fucking fork. I’d love to meet the bulb who’s bought this.

And still there is all the external cable routing at the head tube

That English is really upsetting.
