It's actually a 27kg (~60lbs.) Swiss military bike from 1910. Voigt calls it right at the start by simply predicting that it's going to be very close, as his opponent is basically a sprinter and he is an endurance rider himself. He gets it right on all counts.
Sad to hear that apparently since 2001, the Swiss army hasn't used bicycles any more.
