Bike at Bedtime: in the week that INEOSGrenadiers GannaFilippo chases a new UCI_cycling Hour Record, check out SirWiggo Bradley Wiggins’ Pinarello_com Bolide HR from 2015 cycling
Filippo Ganna of Ineos Grenadier is set to take on the UCI Hour Record this weekend on a new Pinarello Bolide F HR, so it’s an apt time to check out the Bolide HR that Bradley Wiggins rode to break the record at Lee Valley VeloPark, London, back in 2015.Wiggins achieved his hour record on a Bolide HR that was co-engineered by Pinarello and Jaguar. Pinarello said that the Bolide HR was designed using CFD , as you’d expect, every component having been analysed to inform modifications.
The road Bolide that was being used at the time had a fork with a nose that was shaped to house the front rim brake, but you don’t have brakes on a track bike so the designers had scope to alter that area. They said that smoothing the fork surfaces led to a significant decrease in drag. “A further analysis was performed to check the aero performance considering the track characteristics ,” said Pinarello.
“To solve all these problems the frame is made as a one piece composite with no bonded parts after curing; this resulted in a light and stiff frame.”
