Here the winner of the Tour of France 2022, used by the Jumbo Visma team. An Aero bike with excellent climbing qualities. Possibly the Cervélo S5 one of the models that have most challenged the limits of the Aero bikes, adopting configurations more typical of the counterreloj bikes.
Visually, the last S5 is hardly different from the previous model, which was launched in 2018 with its unorthodox power in V and its particular fork, designed to hide the wiring.
In this 2023 version, the direction pipe has been changed, making it more aerodynamics, the handlebar has been narrowed (with the purpose of Aero too), and the wheel pass has increased. Modern tubulars are already 34/35 and the bike required a little more space.
It is not a light bike, but tremendously fast. A slight relaxation of the UCI regulations allows adopting more aerodynamic tubes, and the S5 takes advantage of it.

The new Scott Foil RC promises to be a faster 20%, 9% lighter and 10% more comfortable than the previous model. At least, it is what the Switzerland ensures.
What is unquestionable is that it exhibits a much more aerial geometry and, indeed, is lighter. One of the novelties comes from the hand of Syncros, with the design of a revolutionary armchair. It includes a removable and completely camouflaged compartment, where you can also install a rear light.
The front incorporates an oversized steering tube, which acts as a fairing, reducing wind resistance. The curve of the box next to the rear wheel underlines its DNA Aero and the search for integration in all its components.
According to the brand itself, Scott has taken advantage of the changes in the UCI rules on the design of paintings to review the concept of the FOIL. As a result, a machine strongly inspired by the plasma model, the brand's counter -crowd bike.
The development of this version has worked together with Drag2Zero (specialists in aerodynamics, based in the United Kingdom) to observe the interaction between the bike picture, the components screwed to it and the cyclist itself. Thus, they ensure that the new bike, at a speed of 40 km/h, saves 1 minute and 18 seconds in 40 km, compared to the previous version.

795 Blade RS look: marking the way
[Captation id = "Attachment_8604" Align = "Alignnone" Width = "744"]
Image: 795 Blade RS look.[/caption]
We move on to the French brand of the French brand look, which was presented for the first time in 2018. It is not common to contemplate bikes look on our roads. And less, this model top. And that we talk about a avant -garde and pioneer brand in the use of carbon applied to cycling.
It is obvious that it is a groundbreaking bike. It could be said that its geometry has marked the path of many other Aero models, although there were no lack of detractors. Ahead of your time? Probably.
In this latest version, look has increased the proportion of high module carbon fibers (from 32 to 63%). This means less layers of material, subtracting 300 grams from the whole, and greater rigidity. However, the bike is much more comfortable than its lines can insinuate.
Aesthetically, the new 795 Blade RS look is identical to the previous version. Why change such a spectacular image? To highlight their solid tubes and their characteristic 3S Design braces, which offer slight flexion, allowing vibrations to be crowded and improve traction.
The power and handlebar set offers only partial integration, unlike many competition bikes. A look for simplicity: the handlebar retains the advantage of being adjustable.
On the other hand, the Blade RS allows great compatibility with dishes and connecting rods. The use of a Press FIT BB386 housing is suitable for both axes of 24 mm and 30 mm, thanks to an aluminum insert.
The geometry of the bike is reassuring, with unwavering stability, especially in declines.

Seventh edition of one of the flagships; Not only from the American brand, but of the Global Aero segment. A classic, which surprises again.
The speed, of course, is the distinctive note of this bicycle. In this new installment, Trek has collaborated intensely with Mads Pedersen, the Trek Segafredo cyclist,
To reduce the weight, the American firm has eliminated the ISOSPEED adjustable absorption system, mounted in the last two editions of this bicycle. Instead, we discover a surprising union of straps, upper tube and vertical tube.
It is at that point where the new ISOFLOW system rests. In a way, it inherits the spirit of the isospeed when looking for greater comfort in a high performance bike. This technology allows some vertical flexion in the armchair. In the rest of the bike the rigidity of a competition bicycle is perceived.
The Madone shows a hole in that part of its geometry, which allows a more natural air circulation along the bicycle. For the rest, 300 grams lighter, faster and more aerodynamics than in the previous delivery. The result, according to their engineers, almost 20W more efficient at a speed of 45 km/h.

The German brand launches this new series fruit of collaboration with the Inter-Wanty-Gobert team. A picture that just reaches 800 grams in size M. The bicycle was presented in the return to Spain 2022. A competition machine of pure breed extremely light and incredibly aerodynamic. Its range of range (SLT) is planted at 6.6 kg.
Integrated power and handlebar and a wide wheel step (up to 31 millimeters) are some of its novelties. The Cube Litening Air C: 68x arrives with three assemblies (the aforementioned SLT, SLX and RACE), with recommended prices that range between € 8,300 and € 5,500.
The bike combines thin tubes, which provide lightness, and aerodynamic profiles for better air penetration. In addition, the wide sections of part of the picture contributes to the rigidity of the set.
The new Cube Liteening Air has a larger and more simplified steering tube, which allows an internal routing of the cables very. A completely new fork, tolerates covers up to 31 mm. The integrated carbon handlebar, the cube icr aer cockpit system, finishes this authentic car, product of German engineering.

After 4 years, Giant renews his competition bike. The new propel was launched a few weeks after having obtained a handful of victories in the Tour of France 2022, thanks to the performance of the Team Bikeexchange. This latest version comes with a 9.2 % increase in the rigidity of the pedaling and a 15 % decrease in the total weight.
Lighter, more rigid and more aer. Up to 327 grams of savings on the scale. The third part, corresponding to a Cockpit Har. The rest of savings correspond to the painting. A new geometry with thinner pods and an integrated and stylized armchair tube. It is also important to highlight the steering tube, deeper and more square, as well as the successful cable routing. They are some of the differences with respect to the previous version.
It is a road bike with a surprisingly light aerial box. A weight that does not reach 7 kg, which places it the level of models such as the Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL7, the Ostro Vam Factor, or the Canyon Aerad CFR.
The sensation of speed does not reach extremes such as those we can experience on a Cervlo S5 or a Cannondale Systemsix. But the savings of a kilo with respect to its competitors offers an undoubted advantage.

Orbea orca Aero M10ILTD: Dad
[Captation Id = "Attachment_8614" Align = "Alignnone" Width = "744"]

The New Orca Aero prioritizes aerodynamics above the weight, which exceeds 8 kg, almost a kg more than a airad CFR canyon weighs, for example.
On the other hand, the levels of comfort are outstanding, the personalization level is almost unbeatable, and the behavior does not have to envy the most famous aerial models. They ensure that the new SAVA 15W model of aerodynamic resistance compared to the previous Orca Aero at 40 km/h.
As with other bikes, the design of the Orca Aero is inspired by the counterreloj/triathlon bicycle of the Mallabia firm: Orbea Ordu. The clearest example is the option to set up an aerodynamic carrier and an equally aerodynamic storage box under the lower tube. It is not a assembly approved by the ICU, since it could act as a fairing and provide exceptional aerodynamic advantages.
But you will not care too much, unless you are a recalcitrant purist. On the other hand, you will not have the need to use a armchair or carry spare parts in the pockets of the jersey. It is gratifying to check how a brand that thinks in a practical way and seeks to optimize the way we carry things on the bicycle, such as water and spare parts.
The geometry is similar to that of Cannondale Systemsix and, like that bicycle, it feels agile and daring.

Cannondale Systemsix Hi-Mod: Radically Aero
[Captation Id = "Attachment_8610" Align = "Alignnone" Width = "744"]
Image: Cannondale Systemsix.[/caption]
For a long time, the light rounded tubes supersix defined Cannondale road bicycles. Everything changed in 2018 with the launch of the Systemsix model. The American firm launched an aggressive campaign announcing the arrival of "the fastest road bike in the world." A bold statement, but backed by a detailed document and evidence data against its competitors.
The truth is that there are few bikes that come to match the feeling of speed you get with the Systemsix. So clear. An incredibly rapid bicycle that gives the feeling of going ahead of other brands in its decidedly Aero commitment: both in concept and aesthetics.
While some brands (as Specialized with its VEGE model, for example) have abandoned the most aerial segment to offer more versatile bikes, Cannondale reinforces its bet.
Systemsix is not the lightest bike, but aerodynamic gains compensate for plenty of. The Hi-Mod last name refers to the painting, built with is Cannondale's most rigid carbon fiber. Well, despite the rigidity and aerodynamic tubes, it is a very comfortable bicycle to handle. Much more than it seems.
Knot handlebar and power mimic the appearance and performance of an integrated configuration, but its construction in two pieces allows a good adjustment capacity. The angle of the handlebar can modify its position up to 8 degrees.
On the other hand, the solution to hide the cables is elegant. Instead of using a patented or, simply complex method, the Systemsix is encreated through an opening in the steering tube. This allows the assembly of a standard address, avoiding complications.

Ostro Vam Factor: The bicycle Frankestein
[Captation Id = "Attachment_8616" Align = "Alignnone" Width = "744"]
Image: Ostro Vam Factor.[/caption]
Although it is a relatively young brand (it appeared on the scene in 2009), factor has a manufacturing history of unusual and avant -garde bicycles, inspired by its origin in Formula 1.
And one of them is the Ostro Vam, a bike that could replace different bicycle styles.
To start, it gets along with broken roads. In fact, there is consensus when defining it as extremely comfortable when rolling on injured land. Let's say that it does not leave you a bad body after a good bump route and other irregularities.
More than an Aero Bike, the Ostro Vam factor is an SUV with Aero inclination.
There are those who define it as a bicycle Frankenstein, but in the best of the senses. The front half is typical of an aerodynamic road bike; Behind it seems more a climber; And the broad wheel step remembers a bicycle endurance. A three in one, let's say.
The fork one of the most striking components. A great amplitude, as they say, to reduce the turbulence caused by the rotation of the radios, thus attenuating aerodynamic resistance.
This factor is an explosive mixture of aerodynamics and lightness, below 7.4 kg in size 54 and with free space for up to 32 mm. It has integrated handlebars, patented by the Black INC component brand, but interchangeable by a standard power and handlebar model.
It would not be exaggerated to affirm that the Ostro Vam stands out in almost everything, even if it does not have a aesthetic as radical as any of its competitors. Who tries it, perceives a serene bicycle that inspires confidence. A quick direction and a very predictable management at high speed, which allows last minute corrections.

Wow R+1: Breaking the rules
[Captation id = "Attachment_8624" Align = "Alignnone" Width = "744"]
Image: Whale r+1.[/caption]
Finally, we share with you a very particular model: Wave R+1. Watching is a British brand that debuted last year in the segment of high -end Grave. Today it also has an aerodynamic road bike loaded with interesting characteristics that make it stand out among the rest.
R+1 is part of that small, but growing, road bike family designed exclusively for 1x transmissions. The use of a single dish allows type tube profiles Kamm Tail, which suppose a completely aerodynamic cross section. This binds to a large pedalier box and wide pods to reinforce the stiffness of the painting. And all this, to try to deceive the wind.
Whale states that R+1 is 30 percent more rigid than comparable aerodynamic pictures designed for 2x transmissions.
Undoubtedly, the geometry of the bike braces, built to respect the flow of air along the bike. This structure provides some torsion.
The bike offers a brutal filming comfort, with the possibility of riding ball in tires up to 32 mm. The bike axis is a bit more vertical than normal, which implies not respecting the UCI regulations. But it has justification: it is intended for the cyclist's hip to rest more directly on the Whaw axis. A reactive bicycle with an artistic aesthetic that provides a huge personality.
