Madone, Orca and Avenge: so are the three best bicycles of 2016
Every year bicycle manufacturers renew their reference models with innovative proposals, either in terms of new change groups, lighter components or a more aerodynamic geometry to achieve better performance, performance and/or comfort on the road.
Every year, the magazine thoroughly produces a survey so that its readers, mostly amateur, semiprofessional and cycling cyclists, choose what are The best road bicycles. In this year's vote more than 15,000 readers have participated.
The result and delivery of the corresponding awards were given at a gala held in the auditorium of the Spanish Olympic Committee, which was attended .
Trek Madone, the bicycle of the year
The model chosen by readers of the magazine for the best bicycle of the year 2016 was the Trek Madone Race Shop Limited. It is a model destined for the high competition that stands out for its aerodynamic design and the distribution of its rigidity, which allows the entire power of the pedal to the rear wheel to be transferred.
As particularity, it is manufactured in a very specific type of carbon that is qualified by the United States government as "strategic material", and cannot be exported as raw material, but only in final products already elaborated, as is the case of the bicycle .
Orbea Orca M-Ltdi
The award corresponding to the second bicycle of the year was for the Orbea orca M-ltdi. The Spanish manufacturer defines it as one of the best road bicycles that they have created in their history. The Orbea engineers team has redesigned it looking for greater comfort for the cyclist. For this, special attention has been paid to the straps, the shell and the horizontal tube.
In addition, 2016 Orbea Orbea Orbea is lighter than its predecessors. The painting, for example, is 250 grams lighter than the model of the previous year.
Specialized S-Works VIAS
The third bicycle prize of the year was won by the North American manufacturer Specialized with its S-Works Visms model. The brand itself speaks of it as "the fastest bike in the world." It has an integral design aimed at providing less aerodynamic resistance.
Cycling thoroughly also delivered three awards to those considered as the best components of the year by its readers. The first prize was for the SAM Red Stap change group. The second prize went to the Inpower rotor power meter. Radar Garmin Varia and the Mavic Ksyrum Pro Carbon SL Disc shared the third award to the component of the year.
