Check out the 3D-printed Pinarello_com Bolide F HR 3D that GannaFilippo will ride for his UCI_cycling Hour Record attempt – complete with 'marginal gains' courtesy of humpback whales cycling
Ineos Grenadiers’ Filippo Ganna will attempt to beat the Hour Record in Grenchen, Switzerland, on Saturday.
“Comfort is often underrated, but when it comes to a UCI Hour Record attempt it is absolutely crucial because it allows the athlete to go faster for longer,” says Pinarello. “The importance of stiffness is also often underestimated for track bikes, but any flex under power causes the wheels to scrub, losing the athlete crucial centimetres every time they push the pedals.”
“In fact, researchers at the University of Adelaide have been working on this shape since 2006, first using them on aircraft wings and fans and then on bicycle frames, filing an international patent application for a bicycle frame in 2016. Pinarello claims that substantial gains have been made from narrowing the wheel hubs – from 120mm down to 89mm on the rear, and from 100mm down to 69mmon the front – and the bottom bracket – from 70mm to 54mm. Pinarello decided to keep the forks and seatstays narrow too.
